My feelings are that I've read it once and I don't think i'm going to read it again. I mostly enjoyed it but at some points it got very boring! It wasn't very exciting at the start, in fact it was probably the most boring start to a book i have ever read!!! I wouldn't read books by the same author again but I would definately read books in the same genre again. || In Robert Muchamores book, 'The General', The genre is set as adventure/ action. It is mainly set in a fake warzone near Las Vegas called Reganistan. Reganistan is a large, fake warzone set up to train U.S soilders in urban warfare. It is not a difficult read at all because it is aimed at around our age-group. The Central Conflict is that forty SAS men and 10 Cherub agents must survive being hunted down by a whole Battalion of U.S soilders (battalion= 1000men).

I enjoyed this book, so I had a positive attitude towards reading it.

I reallyy enjoyed reading this book and I'm definately going to read it again.

Yes, I found it vey easy to get in to. I enjoyed it the more I read because it drew me deaper into the plot.

I would and definately am going to read books by the same author and of the same genre. ||

Bibliography: Defoe, DD, Date uknown, Robinson Crusoe, Companion Library Grosset and Dunlap, New York.

Paragraph: Looking at the cover it looks like a great adventure on a deserted island. Just looking at the cover makes you want to read it. I think it will be about Robinson Crusoe and how he survives a shipwreck and living on an island. Looking at the weapons he is carrying, ( Two Rifles and a cutlass) it prompts me to think that there is great danger on the island. I think in the end, Robinson will get rescued and return to England

First Chapter: He was but a skinny, fresh water sailer after adventure on the high seas.
