| This is a superb book!
I would recommend it for years nine to fifteen. In the book Charles finds a crashed German plane and takes the machine gun. Then he and his friends make a camp and place it in the camp. |

|

| |
|
| The Machine Gunners is an exciting and suspenseful novel, the characters are realistic, and the dialogue is excellent. Chas is a hero everyone can relate to because he is not just a one-dimensional character. He has both friends and enemies, he's sometime |

|

| |
|
| IT WAS ..... AND I HATED IT |
| |
|
| I thought this book was very good, the characters were very emotional, and the book kept me going for a long time but it was NOT boring. I really recomend this book to any one aged 9-14 especially those who are interested in World War Two. |
| |
|
| This book is one of the best. with its suprises and adventure through out the book i just have to read it over and over again. |
| |
|
| This book is the worst i've ever read!!!!!! I didn't even read the end because it was sooooooooooo bad!!! Just like a bad nightmare, I thought it would never end!!!!!!!!!! |
| |
|
| I have not yet read all of the book but i think that the book was not as good as i thought it would.At some points i got bored it and lost my interest.The discription of the World War 2 was pretty good and gave me an idea of what it was like.The part i liked about the book was when Audrey appeared as she was funny and i found her interesting.Iwould give the book 5/10. |
| |
|
| I have not read all of the book, but it is about a boy called Chas who finds a machine gun and wants to use it to help his country by shooting down bomber planes with the gun.This book has given me a better understanding of world war two,and the description in this book was great for people studying this subject in history, although it it is not the best book I have read. |
| |
|
| i liked the book the machine gunners because the book is more exciting than other books and the fact that it relates to the war and the way the character Chas is raring to go and find some artrefacts of the war to beat boddsers record of collections but cant until he finds the machine gun. |
| |
|
| The book í«The Machine Gunnersí» is an interesting, educational book to read. The writer has used descriptive descriptions to give you the impression as if you were there. The writer does this so well that you can picture it in your mind. The book is based in World War 2 and it is about a boy called Chaz who loves looking for war souvenirs. He wants them so bad that he would get anything to get the best collection so he does! |

| |
|
| I thought that the Machine Gunners was a good read because it relates to the horror of the War and writer shows chas as enjoying this horror in stead of fearing it.It has been a good read. |
| |
|
| Its about Chas who collects war souvinirs but is beaten by boddser brown. when he finds the machine gun he adds it to his collection and the police get involved and everything goes down hill. I can't tell you the ending because our class hasn't finished it yet. I am not all that interested in war so the book is a bit boring for me. It is too descriptive and leaves nothing for you to imagine, I couldn't get in to it. But I think its definatly a boys book but I would recomend it to anyone who is interested in war. |
| |
|
| The book is about a boy called Chas. He collects W.W.2 sourvenirs and has the second best collection in Garmouth (beaten by Boddser Brown). All this is changed when Chas finds a German plane. But when the police get involved, things are not as simple as they seem.... I think the book is okay, but sometimes gets a little boring (but has its good points!!!). It is quite a detailed book, giving alot of information about the second world war. |
| |
|
| The book is set in world war 2, it focuses on a boy called Chas. who with the help of his friends he collects soveniers from the war he has competitions with a boy called Barry bodser. We thought the book was very boring and incredibly slow, i think that it would be more interesting if we read it ourselves. i think it is a bit of a waste of our school lessons. |
| |
|
| I thought that the book was very boring and not very good. I think the book is more for boys as it is about war,guns,fighting and action.I only liked Audrey parton because she spoke her mind and she was a tomboy.Ithought Chas was a good character as he was very imaginative,adventurous and knowledgable. |
| |
|
| The book is about a boy called Chas, who collects war souvinirs, like bullets and bits of shell. But one day he finds a machine gun and the police are searching for it. I didn"t enjoy because it was pants and I don"t ever want to read a book as boring as this ever again. No points for this total pile of complete and utter rubbish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| |
|
| I didn't really enjoy the book, at times i found it interesting. I think it was more for the boys because it was about guns and things like that.I wouldn't choose this book to read out of school.I think some people would like it, mainly the boys. I might have enjoyed it, if it had more excitement . |
| |
|
| I didnt really think that this book is very interesting but its worth reading. I think that the book is really more for boys because it was a about guns and the kind of subject that boys like. The biggest problem of the book is that it lacked excitement and it dosent have much suspence or mystery. Overall i think that this book is ok but im certain that boys and elderly people that were involved during the war would enjoy reading this book. |
| |
|
| I think that this book is a boys book mostly because it is about machine guns, dead germans and the war. I think other boys will like it but not many girls will like it. |

|
| This book is very instresting, it starts off quite boring but when it gets going you can't stop reading. I have read this book once before and now i'm reading again with the school. This is one of the only books that I have enjoyed reading in school. I like the suspence. I give this book 9/10! |
| |
|
| I thought the book was interesting but not that good. I think it is more for boys because it has alot of action to it and fighting. It is worth reading it though if you are in to that kind of stuff. The only person that i quite liked was Audrey Parton because she was bossy and really the only girl in it. It was very different to the books that i read and now that i think about it, it wasnt that good at all!!! |
| |
|
| This book is a good read for people interested in the war. It had adventure, excitement, and danger. It is also quite educational aswell. Chas is a curious youth who collects bits & bobs of war souvenirs, with his friends Cemetary and Audrey. and stumbles across a gun. Read it & find out what happens.............................................................. |
| |
|
| I didn't really find this book that interesting, I think it is more for boys. I didn't really enjoy it that much and it lacked excitment but i'm sure other people would enjoy it. But it wasn't really a book i would choose to read.Overall I think it would be a good read for boys as its about guns. |
| |
|
| I thought thgat the book was very good and a very easy book to read. It was a very interesting book to to read and i suggest that you get yourself a copy i am reading it with the school at the moment and we are all reading as the different parts which is very good as well. It has a lot of adventure in it ans is as a very suspending story i give it a 7 out of 10 |
| |
|
| i dont really think that this is a very interesting book and i found it a rather bit boring and it was not as good as past books i have read by Robert Westall. Hopfully good old Robbo can bring can bring out a few craking books, ho ho. I found a few of the chapters ok but it wasnt up to the standards of what I expected. |
| |
|
| I think this book is ok, It is an intressting book that involes the reader through the dialog and brilliant discriptions! I really recomend this book! I give it 7/10 |
| |
|
| i think that this book is average.I think that the story line is too predictable so because of this i would have to say that this story is not enjoyable to me.the story started interesting but after a while it gets boring because i think it drags on i would not carry on reading this book if i had the chance because i think it is too slow and boring to read.for this i would give this book 3/10 |
| |
|
| I feel that i cannot comment on the book yet as i have not read that much of the book.I think this book was rather good from the start but then i kind of lost interest as there was no action involved. Also my good fellows at my QUALITY school agreed with me saying that it is rather poor. It is about the second world war ands about these kids who are in contest with every one else. |
| |
|
| this book is trougally interesting in one word i would describe it as fantastic it is very interesting and compells you to read on it is spitefully a cracking read a one of robert Westals classics and great hits i give it 10 out of 10 |
| |
|
| i liked this book because it is very exiting and funny.It always got another thing lurking around the corner making it very mysterious.Sometimes it can be a little long winded and having to much desciption in it making it a little boring. |
| |
|
| i think this book is a very average book. i dont think it has a very good story line because it is too obvious wots going to happen.the story doesnt attract my attention becaue it is plain and boring. i mean , wot is interesting about reading about a boy finding machine guns and pieces of shrapnel . the story may get more interesting later in the book but i do not think that the book started off very well . i wouldnt class this book as a good interesting book to read and i wouldnt recomend it to anybody else, i give this book 4/10 for its lack of adventure!!! |
| |
|
| i thought the book was very interesting but when u read it at school with your class it can seem very boring if some people cant read very well or read slowely. i would have liked it better if i read it by myself so one day i will. i havent finished reading the endof it yet so it hasnt realy got into the plot yet so when it does i hope it will b very good other wise i will have to have a whole term on a boring book! so far thing it is a bit boring but i think that that is becauseits not quite got going yet. |
| |
|
| I think that its a very interesting book but can be to long winded and is a very truthful but not as good as roldaldph |
| |
|
| I think the book was total Rubbish. It totally bored me out. The program was also a pile of old rubbish. |
| |
|
| This book is Superb. The text is amazing and there are a wicked range of words and metaphors. I would recommend this book for anyone, any age. In one word, simply fantastic and fun. For example, the book is about a machine gun, which is always exciting. |
| |
|
| Utterly AMAZING. I automatically began in-depth reasearch about Garmouth and wartime coastal England. In my opinon, this book has everyhting a great book needs. 10/10! |
| |
|
| the book the machine gunners was so wicked i wish i had internet to come this web site again |
| |
|
| This book was an exciting read and I have learnt so much more about the war and the effects it has on young children like myself. We ahev been reading it in class and now we are drawing a map of the area with all the streets, woods, etc. It"s really hard but it"s so much fun because I can go over the book again. I enjoyed it so much and erge others to reading the most adventurous and sentimental book. Thank you. |
