S1 Virtual Bookshelf by George MacKenzie https://padlet.com/georgemackenzie/Bookmarks A collection of book reviews by Mr Thom's S1 Class en-us 2022-04-05 09:21:24 UTC 2022-04-07 07:40:28 UTC hello@padlet.com Talein's review of Suicide Squad Volume 3: Death Is For Suckers georgemackenzie https://padlet.com/georgemackenzie/Bookmarks/wish/2130358535 I liked this book because it is about the DC characters and I am really into DC. The book was about the Joker coming back from the dead and fighting against the new hero. My favourite character would probably be Harley Quinn because she’s always been my favourite DC character since i was a little girl. My favourite part of the book would have to be when the Joker fights with the new superhero. The book made me feel very lunatic when I was in the middle of reading. I didn't like that it didn't show that much of how the joker came back to life.  ]]> 2022-04-05 09:51:57 UTC https://padlet.com/georgemackenzie/Bookmarks/wish/2130358535 Charlie's review of Deadpool Volume 18: All Good Things georgemackenzie https://padlet.com/georgemackenzie/Bookmarks/wish/2130363672 I liked this book because it is funny and gory.  Deadpool is helping to destroy Roxxon in the book. Deadpool is my favourite character because he is funny and rude. I like the bit were a person’s head exploded in such good detail. Deadpool sadly dies at the end but the book made me laugh a lot. I loved the book! ]]> 2022-04-05 09:56:07 UTC https://padlet.com/georgemackenzie/Bookmarks/wish/2130363672 Yaya's review of Godzilla Hell 2 georgemackenzie https://padlet.com/georgemackenzie/Bookmarks/wish/2130366494 I liked this comic because Godzilla is strong.  It was about Godzilla having a fight with different monsters.  My favourite part of the story is when Godzilla was fighting because I love it when he fights. Godzilla always wins.  I think this comic is good. ]]> 2022-04-05 09:58:38 UTC https://padlet.com/georgemackenzie/Bookmarks/wish/2130366494 Darian's review of Jujutsu Kaisen Volume 7 georgemackenzie https://padlet.com/georgemackenzie/Bookmarks/wish/2130375723 Jujutsu Kaisen is a great manga! It has amazing action scenes and remarkable story with very loveable characters. Though the story could be a bit fast paced at times, it all makes sense by the end. Another thing that I like about this manga is the characters’ backgrounds, whether good or bad they are always good to read about.  
Overall, I rate this story 4/5 because the story is very quick at times and you do not know what is happening all the time.

The detective in this story is fun. I hope the next story is just as good as this book as I would like to give a score of 5/5. ]]> 2022-04-05 10:08:57 UTC https://padlet.com/georgemackenzie/Bookmarks/wish/2130378842 Bryan's review of The Big Read georgemackenzie https://padlet.com/georgemackenzie/Bookmarks/wish/2130399965 I liked this book because it showed me lots of great information about other books and it is easy to read.  I found several cool looking books from this and it's very interesting. I love the front cover of it too, and I recommend this to everyone who likes cool info. ]]> 2022-04-05 10:27:47 UTC https://padlet.com/georgemackenzie/Bookmarks/wish/2130399965 Malak's review of Face Off Fallout georgemackenzie https://padlet.com/georgemackenzie/Bookmarks/wish/2130404520 I liked this book because it’s nice and good.  It’s about sports and it’s about two best friends that are in different teams because his friend moved somewhere else to play for a different team.  This book is about being good best friends and I like it because it’s about friends and playing good for your team. ]]> 2022-04-05 10:32:03 UTC https://padlet.com/georgemackenzie/Bookmarks/wish/2130404520 Jack's review of The Crossover georgemackenzie https://padlet.com/georgemackenzie/Bookmarks/wish/2130408114 I liked this book because it’s entertaining and makes you very distracted. I am reading this because I like basketball so it's relatable because it was about a boy near my age and we both like basketball apart from he has been playing for longer.  My favourite part is when Josh realised that the other person is better than him. I think I have a better attitude when I am worse than someone. ]]> 2022-04-05 10:35:44 UTC https://padlet.com/georgemackenzie/Bookmarks/wish/2130408114 Emily's review of The Vietnam War georgemackenzie https://padlet.com/georgemackenzie/Bookmarks/wish/2130410460 I really liked this book because it teaches you about a very important part of human history and what happened in Vietnam. The book deals with after the war and the events that led up to the brutal war. And it also teaches you about the key events that did happen possibly that led up to big events during the Vietnamese war.  My personal favourite part of the book is the part about Vietnam being a French colony and the person who led the resistance against the French and Japanese named Ho Chi Minh.  Also the part about getting aid from the Chinese and American forces.]]> 2022-04-05 10:37:55 UTC https://padlet.com/georgemackenzie/Bookmarks/wish/2130410460 Divine's review of Rebound georgemackenzie https://padlet.com/georgemackenzie/Bookmarks/wish/2130411576 I chose this book because I like basketball and the book is basketball related. It has a different type of setting in the book. It is a comic in a normal book and the pages are easy to read and it is understandable.  It has funny catchphrases and the story is well told.  The book is about a boy who loves basketball and can't get good sneakers, but he is dreaming that he will be the best player ever. ]]> 2022-04-05 10:38:57 UTC https://padlet.com/georgemackenzie/Bookmarks/wish/2130411576 Kayleigh's review of Ratburger georgemackenzie https://padlet.com/georgemackenzie/Bookmarks/wish/2130414353 I liked this book as it is a not very realistic and it’s not like the storyline in the book would ever happen in real life so it’s sort of fantasy and the main character in the book is around my age. The book is about how a little girl called Zoe whose stepmother is very lazy and she even asks Zoe to pick her nose for her. Zoe had a hamster called Gingernut but the hamster sadly dies very soon in the book. Her dad feels very bad for her so he buys Zoe a rat but things don’t go very good. I would recommend this book to around 12 year olds and overall I rate it a 4 out of 5. ]]> 2022-04-05 10:41:45 UTC https://padlet.com/georgemackenzie/Bookmarks/wish/2130414353 Craig's review of UFO Scotland - Beyond the Falkirk Triangle georgemackenzie https://padlet.com/georgemackenzie/Bookmarks/wish/2130417018 I liked the book, and it has a cool cover, I would recommend to others that are interested in the space genre. A fact I learnt from the book was that aliens aren't real. The author Ron Halliday is a cool name, and his books are cool!  ]]> 2022-04-05 10:44:18 UTC https://padlet.com/georgemackenzie/Bookmarks/wish/2130417018 Mohammad's review of You Are A Champion georgemackenzie https://padlet.com/georgemackenzie/Bookmarks/wish/2130424731 I like this book because it’s really good in general and it has so many positive message like dream big because you can do anything as long as you put your mind to it.  Marcus also told a bit of his life story, so I rate this book a 3 but I am going to put it higher because it’s Rashford. ]]> 2022-04-05 10:51:11 UTC https://padlet.com/georgemackenzie/Bookmarks/wish/2130424731 James's review of Black Panther Book 6 georgemackenzie https://padlet.com/georgemackenzie/Bookmarks/wish/2130429619 I liked this book because it's cool and there are lots of guns.  It’s about Black Panther who is a superhero. Black Panther is my favourite character because he is a cat. My favourite part is when Black Panther's dad got killed.  Two guys do a deal at the end to kill Black Panther.  That's my favourite part at the end. ]]> 2022-04-05 10:55:46 UTC https://padlet.com/georgemackenzie/Bookmarks/wish/2130429619 Rhys's review of Hide and Seek georgemackenzie https://padlet.com/georgemackenzie/Bookmarks/wish/2130432208 I liked this book because it was scary. I didn't have a favourite character. The book had a creepy twist that made it scary. It’s overall an okay book. ]]> 2022-04-05 10:58:13 UTC https://padlet.com/georgemackenzie/Bookmarks/wish/2130432208 Finlay's review of Fear georgemackenzie https://padlet.com/georgemackenzie/Bookmarks/wish/2132202454 I liked this book because it was intimidating and fascinating. The part that I like the most was when someone died it made me feel happy because I like boxing. ]]> 2022-04-06 08:08:41 UTC https://padlet.com/georgemackenzie/Bookmarks/wish/2132202454 Theo's review of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone georgemackenzie https://padlet.com/georgemackenzie/Bookmarks/wish/2132208444 The start was boring but I knew it had a lot of potential.  My favourite character is Professor McGonagall because she is good and she gives sass! I like the part when Dumbledore eats Harry's sweets when he is in the hospital. And when Voldemort was at the back of Quirrell's head.  The book made me feel scared, thrilled and thirsty for more. ]]> 2022-04-06 08:13:35 UTC https://padlet.com/georgemackenzie/Bookmarks/wish/2132208444 Calum's review of One-Punch Man Volume 2 georgemackenzie https://padlet.com/georgemackenzie/Bookmarks/wish/2132210296 I liked this book because it wasn't just lots of writing as it also had some pictures. That helped me really grasp the concept of the book. This book was about One-Punch man (Saitama) who is on a mission to become a brilliant hero. Technically, there is no end to this book since it's a manga with different parts.  This book made me feel good due to it showing you that you don't need to have superpowers to be a superhero. All round, I really liked this book. ]]> 2022-04-06 08:15:03 UTC https://padlet.com/georgemackenzie/Bookmarks/wish/2132210296 Sharvil's review of House of Hell georgemackenzie https://padlet.com/georgemackenzie/Bookmarks/wish/2132364302 I liked this book because it was horror and I read it at night so it became more horror.  The story was about a man whose car broke down and he saw a house and went in there but he was lost. There were many different types of ghosts. I like the tall man because he was the number one ghost.  My favourite part was when he met a lady who is dressed up and hurt badly and tied to a pole and she asks him to save her.  The book made me feel a little scared. Sometimes I didn't like the book because I had to turn pages so many times. ]]> 2022-04-06 10:22:34 UTC https://padlet.com/georgemackenzie/Bookmarks/wish/2132364302
