Oliver twist's mother died and he was poor so he was taken by a criminal to another criminal to another criminal. Not long Oliver Twist found out that he was trained to be a criminal. He was innocent actually..

Teresa A | 16 comments Trumpet Voluntary Level 6 by Jeremy Harmer The book I was assigned was 'Trumpet Voluntary' by Philip Prowse. In my opinion, it was not a very good book because there were some inappropriate themes that were wrong in it. The book was about a love story that was actually very interesting and filled with suspense but contained some themes that were not good. I do not recommend this book to those who like happy stories as there were many sad parts in this book. As there are some inappropriate and wrong themes in the book, I do not think younger readers should read this.

Ancilla.M | 15 comments I read the book 'Joy Luck Club'. This book is quite good, I guess. It's good for all age.
It is about the club named joy luck club, and all the members are chinese woman. But they are born when there is a revolution in China and they lost a lot of things, including their babies. So they all went to America and had new families, but because of the different cultures they argue with they're new daughters a lot.
This book is consisted of many parts, half of the chapters each for the members of the joy luck club, and the other half for the daughter of the members of the joy luck club. I know it's very confusing and the book is also very confusing. The chinese-english names is so hard!! and confusing. Also some parts are sad because they don't support women(typical China culture), also honestly I think the mother of the mother of the american girls are so mean! No wonder all the american girls' mother(member of joy luck club) are so depressed not just becaue of the war.
So..... I don't really know if I like this book. Moms would probably say its good but personally I am really mad when I read this book. Some things are so unfair.


Michellechartanto | 19 comments The title of my book is tess of the d'Urbervilles. I would not recommend this book since it is very confusing and boring.
The story is about a kind girl who had a boyfriend but then he betrayed her.

Ian | 23 comments I read Murder by Art by Janet McGiffin.

I really recommend this book for people who like mysterious story. It is very interesting, thrilling and you can play detective too by guessing the culprit according to the clues found by the main character.

I really like Detective Grabowski, he is the main character of this book. He is very smart, brave and firm. He solves the case with his common sense and intelligence. I really adore him.

But, I don't recommend the book for children under age and people with weak heart. Because there are many ruthless scenes. There are also many murders.

Winston | 16 comments I read a book called 'Deadly Harvest' by Carolyn Walker and I will do a book recommendation on this book.

I will recommend this book to people that loves murder mysteries and thrilling stories. This book was able to build excitement to me when I was reading it. Jane, the new head of the CID, was able to solve the problem and find the killer in a few days with few clues and common sense intelligence. If i were to rate this book, I would rate this book 4.5 stars

However, I would not recommend it to kids because it contains some adult contents.

I read this book named Nelson's dream. It is written by J.M. Newsome. I didnt quite like it since it is quite confusing and pretty much boring. It is about a man named Nelson Mbizi. He studied in Birtain and after so long, he went back to his home in Southern Afrcia. Why? Because he is planning to work in his dad's hotel. Ever since he was young. He wanted to work in a hotel since he wanted to help the less fortunate people. So the story continues...

HEHEHEHEHE THATS ALL THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING.

The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins
I've read this book and the story is great, you won't get bored reading it. This is a story about a girl that has escaped from an asylum and she knows a secret that can bring shame to a man. The man wanted to kill her but in the end he died.

JasmineF | 20 comments I've read this book called Barchestwr Towers by Anthony Trollope. I do not recommend you this book since IT IS SO BORING!!! I do not understand whatever I read. Seriously. So the story is about the wife of the bishop of barchester. She went there to make sure that her husband is not cheating on her. Her husband is quite a player, his mission is to find a rich wife and to win advancement for himself (yes so selfish) he is also willing to argue with his wife. The story contains a lot of confusing part. SO I DO NOT RECOMMEND YOU THIS. TRUST ME.
