This book was really funny but not as funny as the Mr Gum books which he also wrote. Some bits were funny e.g when he beats the robbers up and some bits were sad when he was being bullied at the new school.

Harry gave The Story of Matthew Buzzington 4 out of 5 and now plans to read Bodyswap: The Boy who was 84.

I loved this book so much! although i hated the way its set out but the word were all right and my younger brother who is seven loved it so I think that it is a good book but maybe it should be targeted for younger readers!

Kiran gave The Story of Matthew Buzzington 4 out of 5 and now plans to read The Eyeball Collector.

i would rate this book 4/5 because i absolutely loved the way that the author wrote the book but the thing i was not so keen on was how the writing was set out. my favourite part for the book was when Mathew Buzzington turned into a fly. i expected something different but this was the complete opposite. my favourite charachter was pineapple jhonson because he turned out to be diferent from the inside while on the outside, he is the opposite.

When I first saw this book I thought it was a childs book (7-9 year olds)but when I read it O found it quite interesting and very funny my favourite chapter was chapter 2 Off to the big city! my favourite character is Amanda when she turns into an elephant and all she said was elephant.

it was funny when the elephant sister sat on the robbers but why would you want to turn into a fly?

I think this book is random and i think it is funny how he grows pineapples to throw at peoples face.I like it when his little sister turned into a elephant.I really liked this book.

Harrison gave The Story of Matthew Buzzington 4 out of 5.

I don't think this book should be in the age span of 9 to 11 year olds. The first chapter repeats Matthew Buzzington too many times and it doesn't interest me. The story is too rushed, especially at the peak of the story! The language used is just too simple, no interesting vocabulary and doesn't challenge you. The story doesn't excactly lure me in and make me want to read on and it doesn't fire my imagination at all. Overall, I think this book is not exciting and is boring and dull, which is why I gave it the poor score of one out of five.

The only good bit in this book was when that elphant sat on the robber and killed him. But the rest of it was rubbish.

Ellie gave The Story of Matthew Buzzington 2 out of 5 and now plans to read Mondays are Murder.

I did not find this book interesting, I feel that it should have been aimed at 8 year olds as I found it was VERY repetative.Also it could have had better vocabulary instead of said ,it only took me 15 to 20 minutes to finsh it it was to short but very out there.It was not to my tastes but others will enjoy it more...

beth gave The Story of Matthew Buzzington 5 out of 5 and now plans to read Mondays are Murder.

I think it was too short and simple for me. It should probably go to people around the age of 7 because I
think they would enjoy it more. Also it has no good vocabulary e.g it always says 'said'so this book wouldn't really help anyone from the age of 9-11.
It took me around 20-30 minutes to read the book and I prefer longer books.
A gold fish has a memory of 3 seconds and even a gold fish would be able to remember Matthew Buzzington's name because it is repeated that many times.

Shannon gave The Story of Matthew Buzzington 2 out of 5 and now plans to read The Eyeball Collector.

I did not realy enjoy this book as it was a too simple read with words like said instead of a lot better vocabulary.
I read this book in the space of 30 miutes but I like longer books.
This book would have been quite Ideal for late 7 year olds as I think they would enjoy this the most.

I am aware that Andy Stanton has also written the expectational award winning Mr Gumm seiries but those are the books I see the most inspiring to the children under my age.

ellie gave The Story of Matthew Buzzington 5 out of 5 and now plans to read Mondays are Murder.

I loved this book, it was very short but very humourous and extrmely RANDOM. I loved it and read it in less than one hour which disappointed me as I had less hours than usual for this book to keep me entertained. I only gave it four out five because it was so short and my favourite character was definately Pineapple because of how tough he seems but then when the lights are out he shows his weakness. I was very happy for Matthew when he actually turned into a fly and trembled when he was going to get squished the first AND the second time- I'm so glad he DIDN'T get squashed!!
I have read Andy Stanton's Mr Gum books which are hilarious so I wasn't surprised when I found myself in fits of giggles! I LOVED it.

I didn't like it at all.I thought it was far too short and there wasn't much writing

I thought this book was really funny especially when his little sister can only say the word 'Elephant'. It was a bit too baby-ish for 9-11 yrs. It didn't have much tension and the exitment went pretty quickly. I would recommend this book, but foryounger and begginer readers.

I disliked the fact the book was very short I like to read big long books. I liked how Matthew finally became a fly and defeated the robbers and how he and pineapple Jhonson made friends and everything was happily ever after. The funniest part was when Amanda turned into a elephant. It scared me a bit the dream with pineapple Jhonson threw a pineapple at Matthew's head and Matthew had to go to hospital.

I found this book a little bit random as there are flying pineapples and little girls turning into elephants and boys turning into flys but thats Andy Stanton for you, always a bit weird! I also found the book lacked description and therewas a lot of repetition as it always addressed Mathew as Mathew as Mathew Buzzington instead of just Mathew which was a bad point of the story.

Christopher gave The Story of Matthew Buzzington 1 out of 5 and now plans to read The Eyeball Collector.

Samuel gave The Story of Matthew Buzzington 4 out of 5 and now plans to read The Eyeball Collector.

This book was disapointing as it was so short i realy think it is apropriate for the age 6-7. It realy wasn't descriptive in how it described anyone or anything the only thing to rely on were the illastrations,I think that the author should of described Amanda as her powers were suprising, and how did mathew buzzington no that he could turn into a fly had he ever turned into a fly? And a note to the author, pineaples grow off trees, and they can't grow in a day, and four year olds can say more than elephant. What i did like about this story was that it was very original and random.

max gave The Story of Matthew Buzzington 1 out of 5 and now plans to read The TV Time Travellers.

This is an enjoyable and funny read. It tells the story of Matthew Buzzington containing characters: Amanda (Matthew’s sister who can only say elephant), Pineapple Johnson (A bully who makes fun of Matthew.), His Mum and Dad. Mathew has to move to the big city and he doesn’t want to. He has to go to a new school, meet new friends and live in a house near a busy road. I recommend this book to people who like to read comedy.

The characters in the book were quite weird and wonderful. I thought that this book was ok but it only caught my attention once when big robber and little robber smashed the window and matthew didn't know what had happened. When the robbers were talking about medium robber it made me laugh. The story line of Matthews little sister was funny I was wanting to know why she could only say "Elephant" and I thought that it was a good way to end the story.

Kristy gave The Story of Matthew Buzzington 2 out of 5 and now plans to read Mondays are Murder.

This book was OK although it had poor discription as you only knew what it looked like because of the pictures. The only thing that kept me going was that the story line was good but it didn't discribe anything enough for you to understand enough about the book. It waffled quite abit at the begining about his name being Micheal Buzzington. The characters where weird and made me laugh.It could of been a bit longer as it only took half an hour to read and an hour to work out.

rosie gave The Story of Matthew Buzzington 5 out of 5 and now plans to read Bodyswap: The Boy who was 84.

I thought 'the story of Matthew Buzzington was poor. The storyline was clever and very original, but there was a limited amount of description about all the key aspects eg. What was Matthew's changeover like? What were the places called? What did the people look like? (NOT counting illustrations!) etc.

Another thing I didn't like about the story was the amount of research that must have been used. Unlike 'Amanda' no four year old would only be able to say one word unless they had learning difficulies, in which case this should have been explained. Also, pineapples grow on trees, not straight out of the ground, and a pineapple tree takes ages to grow, so 'Pineapple Johnson's' method of torchure is IMPOSSIBLE!

I think the blurb is a bit too revealing, as it immedieately explaines most of the story, rather than just a taster. It would be better if, instead of 'Matthew Buzzington can turn into a fly' it should have mentioned a superpower, with a few hints about what it was, and the fact that Matthew could turn into fly could 'come out' when he is under pressure from 'Pineapple Johnson' in the playground.

I think that, although he might try hard, 'Pineapple Johnson' would not have become kind imminently, and would have needed help from his new friends 'Amanda' and 'Matthew Buzzington', in which case, it would have added more to the story if that was mentioned.

I think that, to make the book more inviting, the paragraphs should have been more lengthy and less 'static' as though the 'audience' was 9-11, not 4-6!

I think that, if rewritten a little bit differently, 'the story of matthew buzzington could go very far, but as it is, I am not very impressed.
