LOST IN NEW YORK

I read LOST IN NEW YORK.

The story is that an English boy; Nicky visited to New York for the first time by himself. He's going to meet his aunt Carrie at the airport, but she wasn't there. Then, for a while, a man; Lou picked him instead of her, but he strayed in New York from him. Also, he met some bad boys riding on motorbikes, and he was thought thief by police. That seems to be a bad dreams for him!

While reading, I felt sorry for him, because everybody must be afraid of being alone in such a big place like New York and he's still a child, so I thought he really must be feel anxious.

However, finally, he could wake up such a bad dream. One driver took him to Pier 83 where was often his aunt; Mrs. Minerva and he could meet her, but Mrs. Minerva was just a monkey! She's Lou's monkey! His bad dream was ending happily.

I never have lost in foreign countries, but I thought experience which lost in other countres or travel to by oneself makes us strongger. I wanna travel alone and more strongger.

JUST LIKE A MOVIE - Sue Leather

I chose this book from English garden. Before I red it, I thought it was pure love story, but it's a bad love story at Toronto in Canada.

Let me tell you its story. Brad Black was a handyman. He loved the movies, and he had a lover; Gina. They wanted to marry. He longed for rich life in Paris like movies, but they're poor.So, he deceived Carrie who is rich and lonely girl. He would kill her because he would rob her money.

I hated this guy.

He tryed to kill her. He thought she dead, but she was alive and Gina and Carrie became friends and they noticed their lover is same guy.

So, in the end he was arrested.

Also, Gina and Carrie wrote this story and sent it to some movie producers. They made millons of dollars! They became millionaries, and he was in prison.

I'd like to read pure love story next...

GIRL against the JUNGLE -book review

I read '' GIRL against the JUNGLE. It was a story that a girl live in gungle of South America.
It was Christmas Eve that Suzanne fell in the gungle airplane crash. She lived in gungle for ten days.
She strayed from her mother, she survived only there. Nobody was there.
I was really moved by this story. How she was a lot of pain, how she was so hungry.
The gungle was really dangerous. Perhaps an alligator will shut her, perhaps Jaguars will emerge.
However, she never gave up. She tried to find a way home remembering her parents words. Her parents had taught her a way of surviving gungle because they had lived in gungle. If I were her, I would cry with pain and scare. Also, I didn't know the way
Then, at the end of the story, she was helped by young Indian hunters.
She could met her fahter, and she said'' Father I'm sorry. Mummy was next to me in the plane, but...'' She had been worry of her mother. She was alive, but she lost her dear mother , and she heard her little bird Pepe was dead too. It was a first time that she began to cry.
This book made me think of life. Some people were dead of unexpected accident even if they wanted to live. We must cherish our life and accident shouldn't happen absolutely.

The Drive to Dubai -book review

I chose the Drive from English Garden, because it's new book and looks interestiong, but it's not interestiong but serious. Actually, I can't understand all of the sentence and a little difficult story, so I cannot explain story definately.

Kareen is a university student, and he loved Smira from rich family. His father id hard worker, because he wanted to succeed in his job. Nobody works hard as him and at last he could be promoted to important section. His family was really happy. However, misfortune happened, the occurrence made them unhappy. His fahter was arrested on suspition of theft in spite of he's not a theft. Then, it spoiled his marriage with Samira, because her father changed his mind and could not approve of it. Also, everbody avoided contact with them.

I was really irritated with its story. Why one innocent man was aressted? I felt frustrated.

After that, he decided to find a real theft. He asked many people who works with fahter and pretended cleaner. So, at last he found a real theft.

I don't like this story. I'm weak on reading detective story.

Anyway, I was reliefed that his innocent could be proofed

the Holiday - film review

Hi, everyone! How do you spend in your weekend? I spent it in watching film: the Holiday.

I expect almost everybody already watched it, so what was your feeling about it after watching?

I was inspired courage, and I felt it's a lovely film. Amanda[Camerondiaz] is rich and a little egotistic, but somehow I like her character, so cute and cool! I like her wearing clothes. On the other hands, Iris is innocent and very kind, but she was hurt by broken heart. I like both. They're only wish to be happy, I know their feelings. I felt if I wish to change my life, take acton is important. If they did not exchange their home, they're still not happy and they could not met belove. Take action, that's really important!! We can change our life with courege.

I like both film, in her shose and the Holiday, but the Holiday is much better as love romance film , I thought.

I wished to excange home with someone, it's seems to be interesting. I wished I lived Amanda's LA home! it's so large and luxurious!

I appriciated it both American English and British one with caption, but ctually, I cannot make a clear distinction^^;

Anyway, it's really lovely, cute and happy romantic film. I'm sure almost everybody like it.
