Book Review 11 - Cooking with Eggs

I love cooking, and I also love to read cookbooks! And today's book review will be one of my cookbooks! Here's the picture of it:

 
This cookbook's name is 'Cooking with Eggs'. In the book, there are 26 dishes of exquisite egg delicasies. All the recipes contain eggs, such as recipes, 'Quail Eggs with Mushrooms', 'Fried Banana French Toast', 'Toast with Scrambled Eggs and Ham', 'Fried Rice in Omelette', 'Mango Crepe' and etc. I've only triped 'Quail Eggs with Mushrooms' and they taste delicious! I will post a recipe soon, and for now, let's see the score for this book!
 
Content: 9/10
Colours: 9 and a half/10 (The whole book has colour, and I love it!)
Intresting facts: 9 and a half/10
Total rating: 28/30
 
Same as the last book review. That's the end and I hope you enjoyed it!

Book Review 10 - Mind Boggling One-Minute Mysteries and Brain Teasers

Don't you find this familiar? If you find the title about the same, you're correct. If you find the book cover exactly the same as the one you've seen before, you're wrong. See Book Review 9 and you'll know. This book is another series of One-Minute Mysteries and Brain Teasers! (Book Review 9). Although it is another series, some of the brain teasers are the same and some are different. First, let's look at the cover of the book:

                                    
There are a total of 100 and 2 types of mysteries. Here are they:
1) "Word Mysteries" (1st 80 questions):
In the book, they will give you a brain teaser. Set 1 minute on your timer. You can play on your own, or challenge a friend to see who can guess the brain teaser first. If you get stuck, check the Clues section. Or if you're not stuck, still check the Clues section, it may steer you in a suprisingly new direction!

2) "Picture Mysteries" (Last 20 questions):
There are 2 types of Picture Mysteries - "Direction Mysteries" and "What's Wrong Mysteries". For "Direction Mysteries" you have to find out whether the picture given is backward, developed correctly or impossible to determine its orientation, and "What's Wrong Mysteries" to find out what's wrong with the picture given. And, here are the instructions for both types of Picture Mysteries.
Instructions:
(Direction Mysteries - First 10 questions out of the last 20 questions) - There is a problem with some of the photos within the *case file. A rookie detective developed the film upside down, so some of the images are reversed. These pictures look like a scene viewed in a mirror in which the left and right sides are switched. For example, a reversed photograph of a married couple would show their wedding rings on their right hands instead of their left. Find the clues within the illustrations and determine whether the picture is backword, developed correctly or isn't possible to determine its direction. (* refers to questions 81-90)

(What's Wrong Mysteries - Last 10 questions out of the last 20 questions) - Something is not quite right in each of the pictures in this section. Find clues within the illustrations to determine what is wrong with them. These puzzles contain all the infomation you need to determine the situation, do you can solve them by yourself or with the help of your friends. There are clues at the back of the book to help with your investigation.)

Now, here's the ratings of this book!

Content: 10/10
Colours: 8 and a half/10 (Because Orange is my favourite colour, I added half a point to it!)
Intresting facts: 9 and a half/10
Total rating: 28/30

Top-rated book! By the way, the list of my favourite books will appear in Book Review 11! (Latest table in Book Review 9).

That's the end and I hope you enjoyed it!

Welcome to the Super Lamb Blog! Today I'll be doing Book Review 9, and as you know in Book Review 8, I'm going to show the updated points list for the books! Let's get straight to the point, and here's the picture of the cover page of the book:

 
It's about short little mysteries to rack your brains. Set one minute on your timer and your friend can read out the mystery and clues if you need too. Sometimes you can do it on your own too! It's very fun. Here's a mystery for you:
 
Mystery: A man is looking at a clock that displays the correct time, but he doesn't know what time is it. Why not?
 
Clues:
1. The man can see perfectly well.
2. The clock is normal and in plain sight.
3. More than 1 clock is in the room.
 
If you have the answer in your brain, like our Super Lamb Facebook page and answer the question! Each person that gets the answer right on the Facebook page gets 100 points!
 
Now, back to the review.
 
Can you think outside the box? These short, interactive mysteries will provide hours of fun whether you solve them alone or test the sleuthing skills of your friends or family. Challenging enough for adults yet appropriate for detectives of all ages, each puzzle includes a cartoon that adds to the fun.
If you get stumped by a puzzle, check the "Clues" section. Or if you think you know the answer, look at the clues anyway - they may steer you in a surprising new direction! The solution for each puzzle is included in the back of the book.

Book Review 4 - The Digital Deception

This is the last review for the CSI book series (for the moment)! If you haven't seen book review 2 and 3 for the CSI series, please check it out before you've seen this!

This one is my favourite book of the series, since it is about computer games and technology! The book is called the Digital Deception, and the first mystery is actualy not sort of a mystery, because the two classmates (Whitney and Alyssa) tricking the CSI team wanted to spend time with one of the team member.

The real mystery is about Whitney needing CSI's help when mysterious charges from a popular internet doodling game appear on her parents' credit card bill. Alyssa is also a suspect because the girls are always getting into fights... The team must gear upn for their first digital forensics case to find out who made fraudulent charges!

Btw, this series pictures does not have colours at all.

Hope you like this Book review!

Overall rating:
Content: 10/10
Colours: 7/10
Intresting facts: 9/10

The total rating is 26 upon 30.

That's the end and I hoped you enjoyed it!

PS: Sorry, I can't get the photo on the post, hope you don't mind!

Mystery Meat Loaf Story starts with nearly every one in the school having food poisoning when they ate the meat loaf. A science teacher get blames for it, but she wasn't the "murderer" at all. Find out who it is when you buy this book!

Missing Moola Story starts with the whole seventh grade raising money by selling magazines for a class trip to Washington, DC. But soon, someone steals the money. Anybody is a suspect, even a member in Club CSI since someone heard that he could use that money to buy a Quark Pad.(what is Quark Pad?)

Book Review 1 - The Famous Five Adventure Game Book 3 (Five Run Away Together)

If you have read the review of my own CYOA book, then you should know that I like CYOA books. For those who does not know what is CYOA, it stands for Choose Your Own Adventure. Today, I am writing a book review of one of my favourite books - The Famous Five Adventure Game Book 3! It is based on the book, Five Run away Together.
The preview behind the book:
Join the Famous Five when they run away to Kirrin Island and find a mysterious locked trunk. Are there smugglers at work?

I use circles for my book, but they use red herrings instead. Begin at paragraph 1, and read until you see a time when you need to choose which page to go. (This also happens to any CYOA book) In the end, you will try to get in the range, 0-25 red herrings. If you can't, then try the 26-50 range. 51-75 red herrings is nearly impossible to get, so that's a good thing. 75 or more red herrings is even worse, but to me, it's impossible. If you all think the ending is always different, it's always the same (only for Famous five CYOA books).

Overall rating:
Content: 10/10
Colours: 7 and a half/10
Intresting facts: 8/10
Total: 25 and a half/30

Hope you like this book review!
