This is one of the best books I've ever read. It is funny and interesting. You can really not stop reading this book till you're finished.

It starts with a very pouty fish and ends with him very happy 🐡he meats a bunch of different sea creatures who try to make him not be a pout pout fish✍🏻👍🏻👩🏻

I read the book Slob by Ellen Potter. The book is about an overweight boy who is having a hard time at school. People keep bullying him, and someone keeps taking his Oreos. On top of this, Owen's parents had just died recently. So tries to build a machine that can replay the video tape of his parents death. I really liked this book. It was really funny, but also very emotional. Also, it wasn't a sob story. Throughout the book you don't feel super bad for him, to where the point you are about to cry. It was just the perfect amount of emotion, which was lightened up by humor. This book is realistic fiction because these things can all happen. He's not fighting dragons, or saving the world from robots. These events could actually happen. I think anyone 11 or older would be able to read this book. Anyone younger wouldn't feel the same emotions as Owen, and there is some profanity. A external conflict in this book is Man vs. Society. Throughout the whole book it's Owen fighting against the bullies and the school. He isn't fighting himself, nature, or one particular person. He is fighting school.

2 stars--I don't want my review to be long and rambling, so let me just get to the point--I did NOT like this book. I didn't finish it--I read about 1/3 of the story before I got bored OUT OF MY MIND and had to put it down. I've read some of Chris D'Lacey's other works before, including the first five books in the Last Dragon Chronicles, so I really tried to give Fire World a chance--but it wasn't very enjoyable for me. There was almost NO action in the first third of the book. None of the people actually do anything. It's just the main character, David, living in a huge library (called the Librarium) with his friend Rosa and the Librarium's curator, Mr. Henry (who, BTW, is as dull as drying cement and not at all a noteworthy character). David doesn't have much of a personality either, other than having a crush on Rosa. I really wish there was more action and character development--the story would've been interesting if there was. Then there's Aunt Gwyneth. I just HATED her personality and the way she acted, as if she's better than everyone else. In the previous books, she was a villain for some time, but a GOOD one. I enjoyed her snappy comments and wily personality. But in this book, she's just an annoying bully who uses power and brute force to get what she wants. The plot was kind of cliche, too. The characters are living in a different world, where the only inhabitants are humans with special powers and strange creatures called firebirds. As the story progresses, the main characters eventually discover the existence of dragons. Now, where have I seen that before? I'm not saying the story needs to be completely original, but this plotline of people discovering that mythical creatures are real seems overused. The only reason I'm giving the book 2 stars instead of 1 is because D'Lacey describes everything in great detail and the world building is okay. Also, the cover is absolutely AMAZING. Seriously, it looks like a professional artist designed it. So if there are more books in the series after this one, I probably won't be reading them, because Fire World didn't live up to my expectations. This is my honest opinion.

This book shows great drama to the main character and the others. The best thing that was about this book was the funny Balloon goons. It made me laugh.

The ebook version was the version I read. It is a really great book, with a shocking climax and falling action. Now that was definitely the kind of novel with 'sugar and spice and everything nice'. I enjoyed every bit of it, despite the fact that I wouldn't really put it on my top three favorite books. Amelie is the kind of girl who is independent and sparkles in her own unique way!
