The Twits by Roald Dahl

3 stars A very silly book that has Roald Dahl written all over it. Very entertaining with a little moral thrown in. This is a pretty quick read. I liked the descriptions and illustrations a lot. Since this book was published almost 40 years ago, there is some language in it that many modern parents…

Electromagnetism

As a contributor of this book, I feel it would be unfair for me to give it a star rating. However, here are some of my thoughts on the book.The theme of this book is technology and each author has his or her own spin on this. There are so many creepy things in this…

Never Underestimate Your Dumbness by Jim Benton

3 stars This is the first Dear Dumb Diary I have read. I found it in the Lending Library and thought I’d give it a read. This book took me a bit to get into. I didn’t really like the beginning. Jamie’s hatred of Angeline (for no reason other than her prettiness) and weird, dysfunctional…

Tiger by Jeff Stone

4 stars This book was a lot better than I was expecting. I picked it up from the Little Free Lending Library, thinking I’d quickly read it and put it back. But now I’m kind of hooked on the series and really want to find the second book. The writing was simple, but still engaging….

Hoot by Carl Hiaasen

5 stars This is an amazing book. I loved every page of it! This is the kind of book that you want to keep reading to find out what happens next. There is never a slow moment. It was hard for me to put down. I read a few pages every chance I got. I…

Monster by Walter Dean Myers

3 stars I am very torn with how to rate and review this book. I think this book did a lot of important things. However, I wouldn’t say I necessarily liked the book itself. I really disliked the format. It was an unique choice, but I personally wasn’t a fan. The movie-style format made it…
