I think Ostrich
Boys is a good story because it takes you along with the boys (Blake, Kenny
and Sim) on their journey to take Ross
(their dead friend) to Ross (a small hamlet in Scotland) for a proper, fitting
funeral. Also, it has lots of description so you really get a feel for the
characters and where they are. However, I think the ending was a little rushed
and did not complete the story.
This book has a
lot of sarcastic humour from the boys mocking one another. Also, a lot of
compound nouns. These words will certainly make you giggle. This provides the
story with some light-hearted comedy.
Overall, I think I
would rate this book 4 out of 5 stars,
because although it has a great storyline, comedy and a lot of
description, the ending (one of the biggest parts of a story could have been a
little better.
I don't know if I am supposed to comment on my own but, in case I am supposed to, here it is:
ReplyDeleteI think the review is OK but I accedentally put 2 spaces in between 'their' and 'journey'. It could also be a bit longer.
