Book Review
The Hunger
by Carol Drinkwater
'My book review is about the book 'The Hunger'. It is one of the titles in the series My Story . The Hunger is the diary of Phyllis McCormack. It is set in Ireland from 1845 - 1847 the time when the potato crop failed. It was called 'blight'. Blight was a disease that got into the potatoes and formed a black fungus all over them.
It is not a very happy book because a lot of people die, including her Mam and her little sister.
I would give this book nine out of ten because it is VERY sad. But otherwise it was very good. I would only recommend it to readers who like long books because it has over two hundred pages but I thought it was brilliant and that is the end of my review'.
