Book Description
Child genius Becky Bexley entices a group of her fellow university students to play a rowdy game in
class for fun one day that has worried tutors coming to investigate what's going on.
On another day, she and a group of other students have a long long discussion where they talk about
such things as world leaders taking foolish risks, false rumours, and interviews with transsexuals, and
tell stories about scams and broken friendships.
The discussion often becomes humorous though, as they tell each other funny news stories, make up
jokes, and think up wacky ideas for fun.
BLOG TOUR REVIEW
Review for 'Student Fun And A Mammoth Discussion' by Diana Holborn.
Read and reviewed paperback for Diana Holbourn, Windy Seaside Publishing, Netgalley amd Literally PR.
Publication date: 31st July 2023.
This is the second book I have read by this author but won't be my last!! It is also the third book in the 'Becky Bexley the Child Genius' series but can be read as a standalone. I have previously read the first book in this series 'Trying To Make The World A Better Place' which I would also recommend.
This is a lovely and light read that covers a fantastic range of topics, many that are sensitive but that are very important to speak about too!! Diana has written it in a perfect way so the reader isn't overwhelmed with too much information at once and has broken it down into smaller sections so it can be read in small chunks. Although there are only 2 main chapters there are loads of mini chapters between with headings stating what the students are talking about during it.Although the book has serious topics Diana weaves them in between fun moments which is perfect as it stops it from being too "heavy" and serious a read while still conveying the importance of kindness and supporting others. I will admit that the way some of the students spoke and the subjects were definitely not ways I believe university students would speak in and about but it was still a fun book. During a ten hour lunch break they discuss a variety of topics including, but not limited to, drugs, death, food, driving, war, random and disgusting items in food such as eyes and worms, crime, radiation poisoning, scams, judging people and much much more!!! Some of the topics I found intriguing, some disgusting, some fun, some boring and some definitely random!!! There are discussions for everyone but I would definitely say avoid eating while reading this book!!! There are moments of gloominess between the students depending on the topics but it doesn't take long for them to lighten the subject up and get back to laughing and joking. It is definitely unlikeable other books I have read and I'm looking forward to reading both book 2 called 'Good And Bad Times At University' and book 4 called 'Comedy, Alcohol, Trauma and Games' so keep your eyes peeled for my review of those books coming soon!! Some of my favorite topics discussed were about scammers and the fun had in the psychology department. If your looking for a light hearted read then it's definitely worth grabbing a copy today!!! A very cleverly constructed and well researched book that would have been amazing to have around while I was younger. I am definitely looking forward to reading more books in this fantastic series!!!
Amazon rates this book suitable for children 13-18 years old. I would agree with this rating.
Overall a light, fun and enjoyable addition in the Becky Bexley Child Genius series.
326 pages
This book is just £1.99 to purchase on kindle and £9.99 in paperback via Amazon at time of review which I think is a bargain for this book.
