Hello everybody Last week I read The Ogre Downstairs.It was written by Diana Wynne Jones.It was published in 1974.It did receive some positive review.
The good
.The characters are hilarious
.It has a very Imaginative story
The bad
.Too short(It's only about 250 pages)
.Not much of an adventure book
Quick summary
When their mothe marrries 'The Ogre'two of her sons immediatly dislike while Gwiiny was less jugdemental sice he onceheled her when she was lost.
When he moved in to the house he brought his two sons Malcolm and Douglas(the ogre's sons)of curse Caspar and Johny(Sally's sons)butfor the sake of theirmother they decided to pretend to care.One day 'The Ogre'bought two non chemical chemistry set.One for Malcolm and one for Caspar but when Caspar was mixing the substance Gwiiny accidentally......................Tha's al I can say since the book is short.
The conclusion
The Ogre Downstairs is a funny book with wild imaginative story that will definetely make you have a good while it is quite short and it could have probably more adventurous.The author probably decided the story was just about the family and for that I applaud her since she really manage to tie the strings to make an enjoyable for me.
Rating:8 out of 10
