How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Book That Every Child Should Read
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 April 2021

Fantastic book, great humour and my daughter absolutely loved it. I really liked how the author made the reader really think about the positives about having no screens - this is a great read for children. Hopefully there will be more books to follow from this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book

This is a great book. Kept the child interested, laughing/giggling and encoraged the habit of reading more. We've since been to our local book shop to try and find similar books as the child has caught the reading bug instead of being on technology. Thank you to the author!

5.0 out of 5 stars Happy ending.. reads like a fairytale
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 December 2021

I couldn’t put it down and read it in one go. It was a very enjoyable, good-old-days-happy-ending read .. I won’t give anything else away.. I bought two copies so to share it around quicker.
I highly recommend it.. it might even give you a bit of survival training, at least mentally 😃👍🏼💕

Great book. A story that I’m sure will resonate with most households.

8yr old boy loved it. Plenty of smiles for adults too.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wake up call .
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 May 2022

A fun way to reflect on our dependance / addiction to screens in all forms big and particularly small. A lot of humour and not at all moralistic. We all can identify to all characters who are so very us . I can imagine the book as part of a class / school discussion - any age big and small / pupils, students AND teachers, headteachers alike - ...... followed by a big class / all school project .
Life is good just as living it, breathing it in and out.
