Oliver Twist

9781445104577Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens

I liked this book because it has lots of really intresting charactors, my favourite charactor is Oliver.

I think this book would suit older children and grown ups best because it is quite long and has some themes that yonger children may not understand or find frightning.

The book is based on a 12/13 boy who describes how is life is in the summer holiday and is very funny and really describes how a real boy/girl behaves.The author has really thought about how to portray the character known as “Greg” and it has an edge like when you realize what the book is about you really get that feeling like you want to read more and more of the same books! I love this book its really demeaning in slight way!

I think people should read this imaginative book its really good!

Pride and Prejudice

pride-and-prejudiceMrs Thomas, English teacher:

My favourite book is ‘Pride and Prejudice’, by Jane Austen. It’s a bit of a cliche, but I absolutely love it and it’s the only book I can re-read over and over again without getting bored!
It’s a great book if you love timeless romance stories, and I defy anyone who’s ever read it not to want to be Lizzie Bennett or Mr Darcy. Plus there are great TV and film versions of it as well – great for Keira Knightley and Colin Firth fans.
