what a great book i really loved it i read it 5 years ago i think other people should read it.i also watched the movie 5 years ago it is exactly alike

I do not like this book. It is very fiction, a little to fiction for me. Maybe you like fiction, or maybe you don't. You deside if you want to read it or not. It is not believable to me. I don't feel like bugs can become giant. The whole story is basically about that bugs become giant human size, creatures.

His aunts aunt spiker and aunt sponge are scary to me ant spiker is very skinny and aunt sponge is over weight a little but I am still reading this book I just started I am on the point where they just saw that there was a peach on a tree and they said that they had never seen this tree grow anything (page 16-17.)

P.S. I really love this book soooo much!!

When i started reading it, i just couldn't put it down until i finished it in record time and read every word.

I agree with you when I started I could not put the book down too.

i really dont like the book but if you have watched the movie it was good. try it you might like it

good book and funny

wathched the movie and read book they are both good but the illastration was better!?!!!!

Still love this book and I recomend it, it's fantastic. Also, it's great for a person like me, I love peaches.

This story is about a little boy called James that lived with his two awful aunts. One day an enormous peach started growing from the tree because Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker had a peach tree in the horrible house of his aunts. But one day James went flying on that mammoth peach with lots of seagulls. Do you want to know where he landed? Where did he stay to live? Who with? I enjoyed this book because I liked James, the main character because he is powerful, with lots of courage. He is a very good person with a nice personality. My favorite part was the end. I recommend this book to anyone who is an adventurous person who is 9 or 10 years old and loves eating peaches.
