Beatle Meets Destiny
Gabrielle Williams
7/10
Hmm, where to start? Well, it is probably good form to mention that i only picked up this book because it was promoted at our school. Yes Gabrielle Williams came to our school and talked about this book in order as well as giving a short talk on how to write better stories. It was rather interesting and was really funny. She had a way of talking that made it seem as if she was closer to our age than hers. She spoke as if she had personal experience of our time as opposed to hers. No offence, she wasn't really old or anything but the way people live these days, especially teenagers, changes far more frequently than any other age group so to have that knowledge and experience was impressive. One of my favourite remarks that was made on the day was "No, because that would be weird." if you were there then you should remember. If not, I don't care, all my important readers were there so there's no problem.
The book itself is great, a good storyline and an awesome set of characters. However the book reminded me very much of, are you ready for this?
Don't Call Me Ishmael!!
Yes! One of the year 8 English texts and its a shame because, compared to Don't Call Me Ishmael, it's a letdown. Ishmael was funnier, more interesting with an even better cast of characters. So if you were lucky enough to read D.C.M.I then know that this book is like that but not quite as good. If you didn't like Ishmael you probably wont like this so its all a matter of perspective. I'll leave it to you.
It's a nice story but not worth a detention, not this close to exams but if you carefully read when your supposed to be studying, then that is OK because studying is really boring. I'll leave it to you.
