| 1* | Leave it on the shelf. It's covered in dust for a good reason |
| 2** |
When your mum asks you what your book is like, you shrug your shoulders,
stare at the floor and say quietly "Mmmmm? It's okay." but you'd rather be
watching the washing tumble than be reading it.
|
| 3*** |
It's a pretty good book but nothing to rave about. It's a toss-up between
reading it and doing your homework, and you choose your homework.
|
| 4**** |
A must read. You'd cop the strife for being caught reading it underneath
the covers with a torch after lights out.
|
| 5***** |
It's so good you'll eat your broccoli, tidy your room AND be nice to your
sister if you can finish it NOW! You'd even give it to someone for a
present.
