GOLD WINNER
The Method Writer by ladyrowyn - 28/30
Wow! What a cover you have! Very good! It was clean and nicely done! The blurb as well was very good. I could sense that the book was going to be very funny just by reading it. It got me excited to start your book.
It was very well written! Your style was very clean and flowed very well from scene to scene and it was steadily paced- not to fast but not to slow. However there was tiny amount of punctuation and grammar mistakes- nothing a proof read can't fix.
This plot had to be the best in the category! It had me in tears laughing numerous times. Maxwell is a very positive character even though her circumstances aren't and I really enjoyed reading through the eyes of someone who's sometimes very stupid and naive! I liked her friend and I felt like all the characters deserved to be in a humour book- funny as hell and entertaining, going to finish reading this for sure!
Does the backup judge agree with this score : NO, would give it 29/30!
The writer has shown exceptional writing abilities throughout the book. The plot is creative and thoughtful, and suits the title and the cover well. There are one or two spelling errors, but overall, a fantastic read! I can find no major flaw: I'll definitely be reading any other book that this author writes in the future :)
SILVER WINNER
Kick Ass Nanny by cottoncandykisses - 20/30
I really liked the cover it was simple but nice. I would suggest maybe making the font a little bolder to make it easier to read but it was still nice. The blurb was average. It was short and straight to the point but I still would have wanted to know a little bit more. The title suited the book for it category...it was funny.
The writing style was clear and precise, easy to understand and straight to the point. Sentence structures where good, but might need a touch up for spelling and grammar mistakes, still easy to read. My only thing was it did lack writing devices such as metaphors and similes. I would also suggesting using a range of punctuation- there was A LOT of times I feel the author could have used a semi-colon or colon.
I really enjoyed this plot. The main character, Bonnie, was funny and such a interesting character. Her interactions were the funniest and she had A LOT of spunk. However I would suggest also focusing on the other main characters. The blurb suggested a lot about the kids. I would have liked to see more of their funny sides since it was suppose to be humour. It would be nice if more than one character was funny.
Does the backup judge agree with this score : YES!
I think this book suits the Humour category well, however I felt as though some of the jokes were forced and slightly overused. Regardless of this, the author has shown off the plot of the story well: it's not predictable as there is a host of potential outcomes. Alongside this, the author seems to rely on pictures too much: their descriptions are well done, and I believe that they do not have much faith in their writing ability (which they should have). Overall, a good read with a few grammatical and spelling errors.
BRONZE WINNER
Cooking With Boys by droptops_ - 16/30 (original) / 19/30 (modified)
The cover was simple and easy. It was related to the title, yes, but I still felt like it didn't match with it. The blurb was a little disappointing. There was spelling and grammar mistakes- and it felt clumped (maybe because of the long sentences that had commas instead of full stops?)
The writing did flow very well. I was able to really follow what was going on. I did find the sentence structures to be a little weak here and there and I felt like some punctuation was used in wrong places. There was a little too much mistakes like punctuation in the middle of words and missing words in sentences. But it didn't drag on which I liked.
Having said that I would still read this book because this plot is very interesting. The premise is well laid out and I enjoyed what I have read so far. My only thing is I don't feel like this was humour. Can I suggest the author think about making it a chick lit? It felt more chick lit than humour. The plot was the perfect premise for a chick lit book- humour not so much.
Does the backup judge agree with this score : NO, would give it 23/30!
I couldn't find any spelling or grammatical errors! So that's great :) However, I couldn't find any humorous aspects to the story either.. Perhaps this book would've done better in Teen/General Fiction or Romance?Regardless, I think it has a great storyline that's fairly unpredictable, and I really like this. The cover looks better now than it did beforehand, but I still feel like it's missing something... Hmm, I'm not sure, but one thing's for certain: it suits the plot well! The one thing that has let you down is the lack of humour... Try adding a few jokes every now and then? Overall, a good read :)

Guilty Pleasures by chocfudgeo - 21/30 (original) / 19/30 (modified)
The cover picture was ok but the font was hard to read. It was too thin and dark to understand. The blurb was great! I loved the closing sentence- it really grabbed my attention, and I for sure wanted to read more.
The writing was clean, easy to read and flowed tremendously. The writer kept things short and precise when describing but also used loads of different devices such as similes and personification. It was very well written- it was just simple. It didn't drag or was over the top, and sentences structure was really good. Couldn't find any spelling mistakes either! Has to be the cleanest and structured book I have read so far.
I actually enjoyed this plot it was cute and the characters contrasting personalities where very interesting. I didn't however find it funny to be considered humour. There was laughs here and there but I didn't feel like it was a humour book. I actually forgot what genre I was reading by the time I was done- because I didn't get the humour.
Does the backup judge agree with this score : NO, would give it 17/30!
The book is fairly well written, except for several grammatical and spelling errors throughout the book. However, I really like the cover and the way it suits the plot well: temptations! Unfortunately, I couldn't find any humorous aspects to the book which has let you down considerably. After all, you did submit your work to the Humour category, right?Overall, the book is an okay read: it has an interesting that captivates the audience well, but just several spelling and grammatical errors.
Jax's Drama by dg_and_reid - 16/30 (original) / 17/30 (modified)
The cover was okay. My only issue was the font. It didn't stand out and kinda bled into the cover image. I liked the blurb- it wasn't too long or too short and really painted an interesting picture of whoever was reading it- certainly great for a humour book.
The writing had good structured sentences- and even thought I wasn't used to this type of writing format the author used, it was consistant. However having said that I took off a couple of marks because you kept switching tenses in the middle of your writing. You would often start a sentence implying it was done in the past but used present tense words. I strongly suggest you proof read you work. You also didn't use many writing devices such as metaphors and imagery and lack a range of punctuation.
Usually I'm very easy to make laugh but this book was the least funny book I read in the humour category. I felt like you were trying to hard to make humour and I could sense it- having said that it had a interesting storyline. I rarely have read books written in first person from a boys point of view. This one was really good, just not funny to be in humour. It was a interesting read.
Does the backup judge agree with this score : NO, should have scored 19/30
Unfortunately, there aren't any humourous aspects in your story, which has let you down significantly (as well as the long length in terms of sentence structures). Try shortening the sentences to make it easier to read, and to make the sentences flow together better?But overall, an okay read: I really like the cover and it suits the plot well. I also quite like how the protagonist is a guy: it's hard to find that on Wattpad (unfortunately), so I really like it!
The Bad Boy Has Wattpad by rock_dreamer - 17/30 (original) / 18/30 (modified)
I was not a fan of this cover. If your going to use graphics on your cover- it has be REALLY good otherwise it does end up looking like a knock off- I think it was the font, but it made it look hella odd. However I felt like the author had the perfect blurb! Gave us a interesting snippet of the book as well as a great backdrop of what to expect! The blurb it self was the perfect length and the snippet enticing.
The writing was very good. It was well paced and had strong structures. There was a few- and i mean a few- spellings mistakes. Other than that couldn't find any other problems. Metaphors and similes where used really well-especially in the begging when the reader first starts. It makes the story seem a lot more cool to read.
The author has a great writing style. However this plot was not my cup of tea. It was funny in some areas- but I didn't find it funny enough. I read 6 chapters and lost interest in it very quickly. I didn't feel like author could develop it any further :/ I didn't like the female Bree. She got boring by chapter 3. This plot just felt weak to me which I'm disappointed by because the writing was very well done.
Does the backup judge agree with this score : NO, would give it 20/30
The story was interesting, with a detailed plot. However, I strongly believe that this book would better off in the Teen Fiction or Romance category. The title suits the plot well, as does the cover (which is innovative and creative). However, the major flaw in the book is the lack of humour, as the book seemed to focus primarily on the two main characters love story, as opposed to anything else. Overall, a good read, and as mentioned previously, this book would've done considerably better in the Romance category.
Sirena by sirenaofthesea - 20/30 (original) / 18/30 (final)
The cover was very bland and I wouldn't read the book because of it- which is unfortunate because it's actually very good. I would suggest finding a better cover! The blurb was ok. It was the perfect length and didn't go in to much details but enough to make you want to read more!
The writing was good. It had a basic feel to it so I felt like the story wasn't dragging and was actually going somewhere- it did get a little fast in some places though. It had well structured sentences but it didn't describe as well as I hoped and you didn't use any writing devices- I felt like. So it did come off very bland in some parts.
I found your book amongst the funniest I read. The main female, Sirena was like someone I would I hang out with! The plot itself was very imaginative- from the names to traits the character herself had. It as very original! However you lost a couple of points for being to rushed. Sometimes it felt like their was chunks of things missing- and you just realised and quickly shoved it in a sentence!
Does the backup judge agree with this score : NO, would give it 15/30
The major flaw in this author's book is the lack of description: it can be quite difficult to follow majority of the time due to the brief descriptions. If the author gave more detailed descriptions, it would be considerably funnier as it would give the readers a better insight to the surroundings and to what's actually going on. Overall, an okay read: the lack of information given by the author, makes it difficult to follow the story and find the jokes funny.
