Read on for OWLconnected reader Lillie's review of this need-to-know pop-culture compendium**.
Lillie says:
I really liked the fact that they really engage you into the book and make you want to read more. The thing I really liked aside from the amazing records was the interviews with the people that were important for that page.
What I thought could be a bit better was the movie section. For instance, when I was reading the Kung Fu Panda page I was thinking, what does how much a python weighs have to do with anything from the movie? Overall though, I thought it was a brilliant book.
I think other kids would read it because who does not like hearing about world record blockbusters, right?
My overall rating out of 10/10! ??????????
