review 1: This book recently entered the Wishing Shelf Awards. It was awarded the GOLD MEDAL. This is what our readers thought:FEEDBACKAuthor: Christopher NuttallTitle: BookwormCOVER: 9/10The readers thought that the cover was very good, even ‘spectacular’. They liked the title very much and they thought that the blurb was well-written and persuasive. One reader did feel the blurb was overly-long and ‘gave too much of the plot away’.CONTENT 9/10All of the readers thought Bookworm was a very exciting book. They loved the mix of magic,adventure and history and they thought the initial idea ‘A girl with a library of magic books in her mind’ was superb and very original.The characters were also interesting and the readers quickly sympathised with them and their plight in th... moree story. Many of the readers thought this book would make an excellent ‘first book’ in a set. (Note from Ed – I see book two is out. Congrats to the author). Two of the readers felt that the hero of the book did not develop too much as the story went along but they hoped that she would in later installments.Regarding the sex in the book, most of the readers had no problem with it although three of them did suggest it might limit the market to adult-only, when, apart from the sex, this book would be ideal for the very lucrative YA market.EDITING 10/10The readers thought the book was well edited and discovered no glaring problems with grammar, punctuation or spelling. The readers thought the book had excellent pacing and was well-structured.STYLE 10/10The style of the author’s writing was very much enjoyed. Not only was it easy to follow and well-structured, there was also a nice undercurrent of humour. The plot was very well crafted, the beginning strong, pulling the reader in; the ending enjoyable and fulfilling making the readers want to read a sequel.STATSOf the 33 readers:32 thought the cover was excellent; 1 thought the blub was too long.16 thought that ‘description’ was the author’s strongest writing skill.10 thought that ‘pacing’ was the author’s strongest writing skill.6 thought ‘the structuring of the story’ was the author’s strongest writing skill..33 would like to read a sequel.‘A thrilling adventure packed full of magic and memorable characters. Highly recommended.’ The Wishing Shelf Awards
review 2: I really enjoyed this book but it has unnecessary strong sexual content. The first book has some cleverness to it that make up for some of the stupidity. The second book left much to be desired. The author has an agenda for the story and the characters are not going to be allowed spoil it through cleverness. The main characters bookworm ability never gets used for anything significant and the secondary character doesn't use his ability even in the simple ways he was taught, much less realizing its potential. When the main character goes to a murder scene she's absolutely worthless and the whole library in her head can't be of any help. She NEVER uses any of the information to do something clever during battle or anything else. I wouldn't expect her to always have the answer, but never? less
