“mouse” — 2. i was hoping this book would redeem itself but it’s been a downward slope so far.

“the old lion” — 2. ok, and?

“fairies” — 3. i can’t stand it when the main character is relentlessly bullied. even more so when the comeuppance sounds lame.

“bob-a-job” — 2.5. had potential, but slogged immediately after it started.

“going large” — 4.5, surprisingly a positive ending…? am i being punk’d?

“carcinisation” — 2.5. it became meh.

“rosheen” — 2. also boring.

“the smiling african uncle” — 4.5. grim. and i wouldn’t be surprised if this new immigration process makes its way into real life.

“shade” — 2. boring.

“waffle thomas” — 1. wtf was that??
