Gallipoli Book Review by Nathan Beattie

Gallipoli  is a book about the war this story is written by Alan Tucker. It is part of the My Australian   Story series.

If you were going to read it, I would suggest you buy it for a teenager or an older person because it could be a bit upsetting or a bit full-on.


The reason why you should get this book is because it has a very good story line. It is fiction and it also has no-fiction included in the story. If  you like war, death and sadness it would be a good book for you.


If I was going to rate this story, I would rate this book a 7/10 because at the start it took a long time to get interesting, but when it got into the story it was a very good book

HIDDEN- Book Review. By Jack

                                         
This story is written by Marcel Prins and Peter Henk Steenhuis.

Hidden is a book that has 14 true stories about different people based on survival during the Holocaust because they were Jewish.

If you were to buy the book for someone for their birthday or Christmas, I would get it for someone over 12 years because it is all about how people survived the Holocaust and it might be pretty hard for people younger than 12 because some of the words are quite hard and could be quiet confronting for some people.

If I were to rate the book out of 10 I would rate it at a 10 because it is very interesting to read and it is good because there are 14 different true stories.

The Firm

The Firm is written by John Grisham. A man goes for a job at one of the law and tax firms. He checked all the firms and went for job interviews but he was still not sure which firm to work for. Finally he chose a job straight away after a job interview and knew this was a great deal and a good job. Mitch and his wife would move to a town closer to the small firm and the firm will loan money to them so they could  buy a house.

Mitch (the main character) would get paid two hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year and the longer he worked for the company, the more money he would get and the more discounts. They offered him a job that he should have said no to. Soon people start dying at his work and he is being tracked but he doesn’t know it. What will happen?

I rate this book seven out of ten. I think this book is great and the middle of it is great. It is very exciting in most parts but not in others.

I think people should read this book if they  like mysteries and that are aged in between ten and fourteen years of age. If they like lawyers and fiction books they will love this book.

Vegemite Review


Vegemite is a dark brown spread; it can be used many ways such as a filling for sandwiches. It was made in1922 by Cyril P. Callister in Melbourne, Victoria.

 

My opinion of vegemite is that it’s a plain and boring filling. But it’s fine. I get sick of it later if I’ve used it too many times. I give vegemite a rating of 6 out of 10.

 

I recommend vegemite for mothers and for children’s sandwiches. It gives bread a bit more of a kick.

Gilbert Netball Revew. Ruby


Gilbert Netball

Gilbert Netballs are the best netball you can get. The Vixens use Gilbert netballs when they’re versing different teams. Gilbert netballs were invented by William Gilbert in 1823 and the netballs are called Gilbert netballs because William’s last name was Gilbert.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/510mDRSUmoL._SX300_.jpgGilbert netballs are good because if you are giving it to a friend or child you can order them in a different type so it can match them, because they might not like plain white netballs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I would give Gilbert Netballs a 5 out of 5. Every girl in our class likes Gilbert balls and the boys don’t really, because there aren’t any footballs.

Gilbert balls were made for Netball and Rugby. I would highly recommend that you get a Gilbert ball for you or your child, they’re very similar to Kukri netballs but not as grippy.
