Buried Alive! by Jacqueline Wilson
3.0
This is probably one of my least favourite Jacqueline Wilson books i've read; I don't ever recall reading this as a child so maybe things would have been different if I read it back then, but as an adult there were just some off things with this book.
The main issue for me is the whole book seems to be focused on Biscuit's weight... every page there is a comment on it, how he should go on a diet, or just ridiculous focus on the amount of food that he eats. I get it's meant to be a children's book but when the overwhelming focus appears to be on someone's weight it starts to get a little bit harmful for me.
The plot felt quite weak to me and the ending was so sudden it had me pausing - there was no wrap up to this story which Wilson normally does quite well. It just suddenly ends as if there's a few pages missing. It wasn't terrible at all, but it just isn't one of my favourites.
