**TITLE** My Name Is Mina
Review by Samiksha Choudhury: My name is Mina is a very different and interesting book. It is a journal of a young girl called Mina with a very strong imagination. It has many philosophical questions and it really makes you think. Although some people might find it a bit unusual I found it quite fascinating.

Review by Kathleen Wright: The book "My name is Mina" by David Almond, is an interesting book, and it is quite different. I didn't really enjoy this book, however, for people who have an imagination, or perhaps want to be somewhat "Challenged" by the philosophical questions. Majority of people, just as I did, will find this book strange, and un-usual, not something that they would usually read. But, of course, that is my own personal opinion. Now you should read the book and you will then be able to give your own opinion on the subject.
