The best book ever.
I liked it because it has loads of mystery.
Same my favourite character is Grampa
Why?
It is very tense and mysterious.
Awesome
I like this book because it has lots of mystery
I think its a very interesting and I like it a lot because it has an element of mystery. Also,
it has an unusual structure and make you think about it in a lot of different ways.
I agree with Elpida.
I agree with Elpida aswell
I think the book is aimed towards 9 and above
Why do you think this?
It is because Grampa is a bit mysterious for example he had a black eye and, he is loosing his memory so it is very interesting.
I think it’s a very mature book because it generates questions for you to think about that could actually affect you in real life
Like what?
Having family members with dimensia affects lots of people and you can think about questions such as: what sort of trauma did Alex experience in Bosnia? Would it be better if grandpa forgot about his wife?
I like Alex because he always wants to find out whats going on.
I love the book because everything keeps on getting more and more suspicious.
My favourite character is grandad because he is very secretive.
I LOVE THIS BOOK BECAUSE ITS INTERESTING
Explain more about why you love this book more Joey
I really like the book because there’s lots of mystery and my favorite character is gram-par because he has dementia so it makes it more interesting and because he goes of and does different things without realizing what he has done and came back with a black eye.
The memory cage is a intense and eventful story which shows that a boy from Bosnia who has been adopted into a family with mysteries and stories.He has flashbacks from the war in Bosnia were he lost his brother and feels it was his fault. He also tries to help his granddad who has a disability in remembering and has flashbacks of things from the past in his life.
Good synopsis Jake.
I love the memory cage it is so interesting I love finding out all the characters backgrounds and about there life. I like how every time we Finnish reading we end on a cliffhanger it is so interesting and there is so much tension. I love the whole setting of the story.
Same with me Imani, you have such a good explanation.
I think the book is very interesting because of the tension.
This is one of my favourite books of all time because it leaves you in suspense at the end of the chapter and I can really connect to the characters and my favourite is Leah or Alex.
I like that it leaves you with a question at the end of each chapter.
This is a really good book because it is very mysterious also, Grandpa and Alex both are keeping secrets and never want to talk about them that makes this book so intriguing!
Ya, it really does.
I ment Ya, it’s very interesting.
Mr. Burns left us on a cliff hanger! I am so exited for the next ‘Drop everything and read’ session!
Great comments everyone! You’ve made me want to read this book too. Sounds fascinating.
Thanks for commenting Margaret!
It’s a fantastic book and poses a lot of interesting questions about the importance of memories to our identity.
Also, it is linked to an exciting project that we will be taking part in later this year…
At the start I thought I thought it was so boring because I just could not understand it, but when you read it today I thought it was better because I could finally understand it! And my favourite character is The bully brother (I forgot his name.) because he is just so fun to listen to, as Mr Burns reads to us and he is actually sometimes funny 🙂
Whoops I put a comma in the wrong place.
His name is Lenard.
I really enjoy reading this book.
I LOVE this book.
