Hacker [Paperback] Blackman, Malorie

This book is one of the best books I ever read. I felt like it was actually happening in front of me, I was able to imagine it really.This is a very interesting book and I'd say that it must be read by everyone

Hacker is the best book I ever read it is mostly about computingI love it!!!Kindle is awesome!! Varun

After reading noughts and crosses , I thought this would be for a young adult audience. It was not. Despite the main character being 14, she thinks likes she’s 10 and the book is very unrelatable for a 14 year old. I haven’t finished the book and I don’t think I will because everytimri read it , i just cringe so hard. I would recommend this book for a 7-11 year old as a nice transition between child and adult fiction genre.

My Son in year 6 has never been a great reader. He finished this book which is the first book he has ever read willingly from beginning to end. I was happy to listen to him read this and enjoyed the book just as much as he did. He read ANTIDOTE next which is equally great. I have now downloaded Below Zero by Dan Smith as it is on the schools recommended reading list. Ill give a review once finished.I highly recommend this author as she has managed to give my son a like (love is probably pushing it a bit far) for reading.We downloaded the Kindle version of the books. This enabled my son to look up on Google any word that he wasn't sure of the meaning of. With a paperback book he wouldn't have bothered doing this. His vocabulary has always been good for his age and its even better now!

Hacker by Malorie Blackman tells the story of Victoria Gibson, a girl adopted into the Gibson family when her parents died. Her adoptive father is accused of attempting to steal one million pounds from the bank he works at. Victoria doesn't believe that he is guilty and so ,using her advanced hacking and programming skills, begins to solve the mystery of who framed her father and why, along with her brother Gibson and his friend Chaucy.Hacker is a brilliant page Turner, so much so that I read the whole book in a few hours without putting it down. It is a great read, a great mystery and I enjoyed it so much that I didn't want it to end.

I chose this rating because the book is quality. It was worth the price. The thing that I liked is that it will make you feel like you are there watching everything that is happening. The thing that I didn't like was that it didn't include much background information like what happened to Maggie or what happened to Aunt Beth and Sebastian. I would recommend this book to anyone who can read it. I was captured in the steady pace of the book. In my opinion Victoria could be a little less emotional but I guess everyone is emotional and a little touchy at that age. I think that this book is a little too BORING an easily read for children 12 or older but when I'm older I'll still read it . Definitely a modern day classic.

Many of the dialogues/emotions were not convincing at all and it seemed like the book was written by a child. The argument scene where Vicky gets upset over her brother's taunts about being adopted are completely unrealistic. None of the characters seemed realistic. In the first chapter - teachers/head teachers dont act like that.
