This review is from: HOW TO BLOW UP TOLLINS (Paperback)

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)

I am a ten year old girl. The books I'm into are the Harry Potter series and Jacqueline Wilson's books. So I did wonder why my mum thought I would like this book with its big writing and lots of pictures it looked a bit young for me. But I really enjoyed the story, the Tollins remind me of Terry Pratchett's Wee Free Men. They are very curious about everything and do daft things. So if you're looking for a book to read for a journey, a story that will make you laugh, then try this.

Ed F "edz314" (UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: HOW TO BLOW UP TOLLINS (Paperback)

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)

A real imagination grabber for the under tens. My Daughter's feedback was "really really good" and it's the fastest I've seen her plough through a book in quite some time. From what I've gleaned from conversations with her during the ad-breaks in Ben Ten etc, it's a great story with some "exciting bits", a "confusing bit" and a "really nice story", which whilst not exactly the most in-depth of reviews is positively statesman like coming from a very active seven year old. According to her it's much recommended.

Short, but fun, 16 Jun 2011

David Burton "aenikata" (London, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: HOW TO BLOW UP TOLLINS (Paperback)

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)

OK, it's not going to win a literary prize, but if you want a humorous fairy-inspired book for boys, this will do nicely. With fireworks, capture, escape, a little dash of romance, and a few squashed fairies, this has all it needs to keep the little ones amused.
OK, so there's no character development - it's a short book. And yes, it's silly. But that's kind of the point. You don't need to pay much attention, as most of the entertainment is less about the plot and more about the slapstick violence that explode or drench the Tollins. For all that it's listed as 3 books, they're so short that they're really more chapters.
My kids enjoyed being read this, and I'm sure yours will too. An adult reading it to them may be amused, too.
