Book review-15


I read "Holes".
******story*******
"If you take a bad boy and make him dig a hole every day in the hot sun, it will turn him into a good boy." Such is the reigning philosophy at Camp Green Lake, a juvenile detention facility where there is no lake, and there are no happy campers. In place of what used to be "the largest lake in Texas" is now a dry, flat, sunburned wasteland, pocked with countless identical holes dug by boys improving their character. Stanley Yelnats, of palindromic name and ill-fated pedigree, has landed at Camp Green Lake because it seemed a better option than jail. No matter that his conviction was all a case of mistaken identity, the Yelnats family has become accustomed to a long history of bad luck, thanks to their "no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather!" Despite his innocence, Stanley is quickly enmeshed in the Camp Green Lake routine: rising before dawn to dig a hole five feet deep and five feet in diameter styled pack of boys in Group D; and fearing the warden, who paints her fingernails with rattlesnake venom. But when Stanley realizes that the boys may not just be digging to build character--that in fact the warden is seeking something specific--the plot gets as thick as the irony.

I watched this movie too. I like this story.
I was excited!!

Book review-6



I read "MARY QOEEN OF SCOTS" yesterday.

********Story*********
England and Scotland in the 1500s. Two famous queens- Mary, the Catholic Queen of Scots, and Elizabeth1, the Protestant Queen of England. It was an exciting and a dengerous time to be alive, and to be a queen.
Mary was Queen of Scotland when she was one week old. At sixteen, she was also Queen of France. She was tall and beautiful, with red-gold hair. Many men loved her and died for her.
But she also had many enemies- men whe said: 'The death of Mary is the life of Elizabeth'.

It's pretty sad story. It's non-fiction. Mary had many husbands but they were killed someone. Mary was elegant and rich, but she was not happy. Her son, James, thought that James's father was killed by his mother, Mary.
Mary wanted him to the truth that she didn't kill his husband. So she wrote to James. I felt pity for her.

I read "Robin HOOD".

I didn't know know this story, but I've heard the name. This novel describes true love and justice. I don't like a bad man like Prince John. He should pay dearly for his devilish action.

Book review-2

I read "SCOOBY-DOO! Vampaire's revenge".

******story*********
On Halloween, Scooby-Doo and the gang are helping out with an auction in the fancy Brickstone Hotel. Things get batty when a vampaire swoops in and steals a magical jewel from Transylvania. Jeepers creepers! It's up to Scooby and the gang to unmask this neck-nibbling thief!
*******************

It was difficult a little bit, because I couldn't understand some words in the story. If I searched words in this book, I couldn't find them on the dictionary. For example, rike, rick or reat and relp.
This story,,, I like this, becasue I was excited. I didn't notice that who vampaire was.
I think it may plain book, because there are illustrations.

******story******

But then one afternoon suddenly she has a different phone... and it changes her life.

It's about a woman who make new boyfriend by accident. I don't like Andrew (Her ex-boyfriend), so I'm happy that Sally didn't answer his phone. This story was not satisfactory to me.
