YAY! Here's my last required book review for Term 3. Hope you guys like it!
Book Review 4: Simon Bloom (The Octopus Effect) by Michael Reisman
This book is a continuation of Simon Bloom (The Gravity Keeper), so I should say that this is Book No.2.
Firslty, let me introduce this book to you. So in this world, there's this Knowledge Union, a secret organization responsible for making sure that the universe runs smoothly. This is already wierd: I don't even know this! (But yep, it's only a story) The most important people in The Knowledge Union is the Board Of Administration who then looks after The Council Of Sciences.They are like the Parliament of Singapore and some VIPs. Following that, it divides into three main groups: The Order Of Physics, The Order Of Chemistry and The Order Of Biology. Actually,there's one more group that's also important in this thrrrrrrrrrrrillllllling story: the Historical Society. They are the persona of the story, or I should say, the narrator.
Then comes the main characters. Simon Bloom is the Keeper Of Physics (in this book, yes, but in the previous, he's the co-keeper). He controls the gravity that pulls us to the ground, and can make things get extremely heavy or extremely light. He is joined by two of his friends: Owen Walters and Alysha Davis. Owen controls direction and speed, while Alysha can discharge electricity. However, not all things in the world runs smoothly. There will be bad guys who would LOVE TO blow up the universe (not me). Especially this woman called Sirabetta, or in her Union nickname, Sir. She's a rebel of the Union (if I'm not wrong), and she had already fought with Simon Bloom in the previous book. She lost, and was turned into a thirteen year-old teenager.
In this book, however, a few of the order members decided to rebel and made Sirabetta to return to her former self. Simon and his friends must follow Sirabetta to the Order Of Biology realm, a vast undersea dome filled with harsh terrain and fearsome monsters. They will get some needed help from their old friends and also use some biology to absorb some wild abilities! Yep. And another WAR happens and ya, an EPIC battle of EPIC proportions. What are you waiting for? Grab that EPIC book for the library or any bookstore NOW! While Stocks Last! (Wait a minute, this is not an advertisement)\
I would give it a EXCELLENT rating as this book already entices me to continue reading and reading it! Hope you guys like it!!!
HIP HIP HOORAY!!!
I feel that words like "if I'm not wrong' should not be included in your book review as they show that you are uncertain of the content you post on your blog. They also make the reader difficult to believe what you have just posted on your blog. Annyway, this book sounds really interesting, especially when we are currently learning about Physics. Also, you can paragraph your words well to keep your blog in a neat shape and of course, organise your words well in order to allow the reader to read more conveniently. Just a piece of advice from me to you. Thank you.

Thanks Jack!
ReplyDeleteWow Zhefang, you managed to give the summary of the book, with your recommendation of the book as well as some jokes in the book review.
ReplyDeleteHowever, you need to understand that it should be a little more formal as this is your LA blog that Mrs Anu will be marking. Like what Jack said, you also need to organise your content into sections, maybe with subheadings too.
But overall, I enjoyed your book review. It urges me to go and buy the book as well.
