Grate book ,it's better than the movie!!!
I gotta say that this book is a lot better than the movie.I like the part where the GORGANITES go to the lake on the boat that Alan had gave them. I would wish that there was a part 2 !!!!!!!!!!!

The book you can't put down when you start reading!
This book is about this guy named Alan.He gets a delivery of some talking toys.But these toys aren't ordinary toys.There toys that destroy everything in their path.And there is no off switch!

Good follow-up to the first
The un-official sequel to the awesome flick Small Soldiers is no where near as good as the original,but a fine follow-up nothenless.This sequel lacked the action of the first and the ending is even worse than that of the first,but it's improved in places.The human characters have much better development than those from the first and the script is a lot less predictable.You get to know the Gorgonites better than in the first so you'll really start to like them,as they go on great adventures.Driving a toy jeep in a toy store,doing battle with The Commando Elite with a bulldozers and dueling in a fortress with the commandos.This sequel also has a lot less plot holes than the first and the violence is very low,so it'll probably be rated PG if it's turned into a movie.Although it's no where near as entertaining or as funny as the first and it was a bit disappointing that none of the human characters from the original returned,it's still an above-average follow-up to the first.It simply MUST be turned into a movie and I really hope a Small Soldiers 3 is planned!

this book is action packed, funny and a great comedy.
this is a great book and i think it would be able to make another great movie.i saw the the movie and i am telling you it is funny.

This book is funny, entertaining and just plain delightful!
My 8-year old son and I both really enjoyed this book. Having already seen the movie, we felt that we knew the characters, and truly enjoyed their antics. We are hoping that Gavin Scott will write more books in this series!

A Testimony For a Humble International Modern Gallery
If readers simply want to have a general overview of the making of Tate Modern Gallery, perhaps, this book is suffice. Should the readers be curious of cogs & wheels that create the Tate Modern machine, then, there's another superb book that shouldn't be missed. It is called "The Power of Art" written by Karl Sabbagh. Perhaps, these 2 books should be combined as a total reading experience so that there's nothing is amissed. The deficiency of "The Power of Art" is that it contains too few pictures but the shortcoming is succumbed by the author's inquisitive observations & countless interviews with all pertinent professionals, which were all recorded down in his confident but fluid writing style. I enjoyed every moment reading about the showdowns among architects (Tadao Ando, Renzo Piano, Herzog & de Meuron, Rem Koolhas, Rafael Moneo, David Chipperfield during the competition stage) & subsequently, between Herzog & Norman Foster regarding linking the Millennium Bridge with the Tate Modern itself, showdowns between architects & engineers, headaches & traumas of completing the project on time & on budget, unforseen circumstances which were never expected in the scheduling, clashes of personalities, inner politicking, different mindset between professionals & builders, reality is different from the model set, comparisons between it & the Paul Getty Centre, & Bilbao Guggenheim, how the presentation was going to flow, the election of the new gallery director, the parody or mannerism of Herzog & de Meuron (the firm), the PR exercise conducted between the Gallery & its surrounding neighbours, the selection of a new landscape architect Kienast Vogt Partner, the professionals' obsession with toilets, & so forth. "Building Tate Modern" however, ignored the "tasty" bit by simply informed the readers briefly of every & each process. Pictures took precedent in this presentation & the quality was adequate. The index for the building plans, nevertheless, was too small for naked eyes. What "Building Tate Modern" exceeds Karl Sabbagh's book is mostly the allocation of one chapter to explain Bankside Power Station & its architect, Giles Gilbert Scott before it was finally converted. These 2 books are 2 different kettle of fish together & therefore, it's impossible to say which one precedes the other. Suffice to say that both publications tried to do justice to the Modern Gallery by presenting it in formats which authors & publishers deemed best. An experience not to be missed.
