Cosmic was brilliant. I have read many books, however this book made me laugh. This book is targeted towards children in between the ages of 9-13.
CTRL-Z was my second favourite book. Most of my friends liked it including Callum Smith. The book was quite slow paced, therefore children who would like to start reading would like it.
Cosmic inspirated me a lot so I had to put it first! Liam was being unbeleiveably risky doing all the things that he did. Although it was quite a large book I really enjoyed it because it made me cry with laughter! Cosmic is also like a saying – do not judge a book by its cover – as people thought Liam was an adult by just looking at him. People should learn lessons and not just beleive what they see. I would rate this book nine and a half out of 10! I reccomend that ten to thirteen year olds should read this book as they would enjoy it the most!
