5.0�toiles sur 5 Great Book, Terrible Ending, Mai 1 2002

Par	Lenny Andrew Bryant (Mishawaka, IN USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

The Machine Gunners is a wonderfully written story. The descriptions of WWII life are amazing. All the characters are carefully built up and grow a lot throughout the story. The one drawback to the "majesty", is the abrupt ending. In one chapter they cut off each story line in somewhat of a cheezy way. No invasion ever happens, and the kids are split up, never to meet again. Overall, the book is action-packed, quick reading and totally unpredictable.

I had had this book for about 2 years before even thinking of picking it up and when I did I read it in under half a day. It kept a constant grip on my imagination (mind you I am very interested in all sorts of aircraft) A GREAT READ!

5.0�toiles sur 5 Gunning a Good Book, Avril 12 2001

Par	Lily McGill (W.A) - Voir tous mes commentaires

The Machine Gunners is a very good book, which I would recommend to readers of ages eleven to fourteen. It's set around 1949 to 1941 in a small town during World War 2. It involves a group of children, Chas, Aundrey, Carrot-juice, Nicky, Clogger and Cem, who find a machine gun and shoot down a German fighter plane during the air raids, causing the plane to crash. After ejecting from the plane, the pilot, Sergeant Rudi Gerlath, accidently stumles across the kids' hidden fortress, and is taken prisoner. It is a very good book, and out of a score of ten, I would give it an eight and a half to nine. Congradulations, Mr Westall, on writing such a good book.
