I am a 9 year old girl and I am reviewing this book by Liz Pichon. I like this book because it is funny and nice to read.
I don't like this book because it gets a bit boring at the end.
I recommend this book 8 to 12 I gave it five stars.

It was very funny and full of silly tricks and pranks. The song was amazing as well like in other Tom Gates books !!!!! I would definitely recommend this book to people around my age 😎😃

Ik kon hem maar niet vinden in het Engels, dus dan maar de vertaling lezen die ik wel kon vinden! Dit was wederom een superleuk boek over Tom, en het laat ook duidelijk zien dat mensen eens moeten leren dat je niet een hamster op de slaapkamer van je kind moet laten wonen. Ik vraag me wel af of die hamster echt steeds wegliep of dat gewoon Tom's fantasietje was. Ik vond het erg leuk om te zien dat mensen zijn band zo leuk vinden, hopelijk komen ze nog ver met de band.
Het boek zit weer vol met leuke fonts, illustraties, en meer.
Hopelijk komen er nog veel meer boeken over Tom.

I've been reading this series for a few years now, but it's starting to get a bit old for me now. There are a lot of pictures and hardly any writing and the writing that's in it is very easy. I would recommend this to 7-11 year old.

Die Tom Gates Reihe hat mir besser gefallen wie die Gregs Tagebücher. Sie ist unheimlich kreativ und man findet viele Tipps und Tricks darin.

Funny

There are lots of funny scenes, but I'm only rating it four stars because there were some glitches when trying to turn the page.

[Shihoo Park]

It wasn't actually about Dog Zombie rule and the reason why I chose this book was because I wanted to learn more about Dog Zombie Band. However I still like this book!

It is a good book

[XOX · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fun read. This is my first Tom Gates book and I am curious why it is so popular among children, especially boys.

It is from a child's perspective. Pet is fun but not allowed as his sister has allergies. So he hoped that he could have the opportunity to play with someone else dog for a while.

It turned out it was not a dog.

The teachers at school are encouraging them to move around and do a bit of dance. Tom and his friends Derek and Norman were making a new video for their song Dogzombies Rule using his dad's phone. Another disaster.

The use of illustrations and graphic fonts makes it an easy read. The story itself is simple but rich. Tom is still a kid and his time is between school, homework, play and visiting relatives. That's about it. So whatever happened on these occasions and how he acted is part of being a kid. That's why it is so popular.

4 stars read.

In this book Tom and his band have a disaster trying to write and film new music/music videos while Tom's uncle also gets into his old band and Tom's gran and granddad help him in a surprisingly shocking way!



It was a good book not as fun as the others I feel however kids will still enjoy the tale I'm sure especially with all the quirky drawings as usual throughout to bring it to life I enjoyed the Fossils and what they did for Tom and his friend's especially!

[Judy Wollin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Tom wants a pet, but his parents said no. His sister has allergies. His chance comes when his friend from school asks him to mind his pet while he moves house.
The hamster arrives and Tom finds having a pet can be tricky. Marble sleeps all day and runs in his squeaky wheel ALL night. How can Tom survive with no sleep? Trouble at school and at home arrives in big doses. How does Tom sort it?
I enjoyed the misadventures Tom has.
Recommended for MG. Great for reluctant readers too.

Książka dobra dla dzieci w wieku 9 - 14 lat.
Mi osobiście troszkę się dłużyła, jednak nie była to zła książka.

[Malak Ali · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read Dogzombiees, I give it a 5 rate I like the book, it is about a boy that goes to school and he has problems like when he didn't sleep when he had his friend's pet hamster, I am currently reading it again..
I suggest that you read it sometimes.

It was a great book and would recommend it for people who like funny books

[Joseph McCloskey]

hilarious

[Henry · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is good because it introduces more about the brilliant band Dog zombies. With Tom getting
in trouble by throwing food out the window, that made me laugh so much. marble was a nice character to be introduced as well. The part when Tom was a potato face i was in stitches. The surprise music video also took me by surprise and a new song is always fun. One thing: Let's stand up for doodling. That part felt like I was in was in a protest.

Let's talk about the top three things.
no.3 Potato face. Yeah that's right the potato face moment was a sight to behold and hilarious.
no.2 Marble. Marble is quite an energetic character and is very playful and he's a hamster what else would you want.
no.1 DOGZOMBIES! It is the whole point of the book and the best point. I got to learn way more about dogzombies than I ever did. Great job Liz.

[Ethan Jung · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book shows me a band called Dog Zombie rule and Toms grandad, and grandmom likes the band. Tom is a boy who loves Dude3 and Dog Zombie and his sister Delia is annoying and sometimes Tom pranks her. Toms' friend Derik is his best friend and Derik's dad is ready for Teacup Tony and the saucers. You know so many songs are in this book and Marcus Toms friend he is very annoying like Toms sister.

[Arthur · Rating 5 out of 5]

The book has got me back into Reading Tom Gates. My favourite part was when he was starting the band. I like Tom Gates because he is a fantastic character because the way he reacts is really cool and he is very funny.

[Sarah!! · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read this entire series when I was like 8-10 and I loved it so so much ir e read it about 50 times so this review is for the whole,series and you bet I will copy and paste this to every single Tom gates book if that’s what it takes.

[Roksana Wronska · Rating 4 out of 5]
