Monica Gunawan | 16 comments I've just read the book " The mayor of Casterbridge" written by Thomas Hardy and its about a guy named Michael Henchard who sells his wife and child to a sailor. Afterwards, he regret what he did and tries to find for his child and wife again but he couldn't seem to find them anywhere.He went to the town of Casterbridge where he works very hard to rise up to be the mayor of the town. And one day suddenly his wife (Susan) who's rumored to be death showed up with his daughter, Elizabeth-Jane and he is forced to the right thing and marry Susan. However, marrying Susan involves letting down a woman he have been wanting to marry, Lucetta.

I wouldn't recommend this book to you guys because it's very boring and this book is such a complex book. I don't really get the story but that's all what i understand. I'll rate this book 2/5 .

Sharon Brandie | 13 comments The book I read this week is " Do androids dream of electric sheep ?", it is a very interesting book . The story is about a man who plans to kill enough androids so that he can replace his electric sheep with a real one. But while he was hunting the androids down, he encountered something. He fell in love with an android and learns about himself. This book is well-known and very popular, this book is the blending of human and the artificial. I rate this book a 3.5/5 .

Maybelle | 17 comments I read the book "two worlds" it is a book about some people whose lifes are not so easy going and has gone through many hardships. There this journalist came along and helped them and it turns put all of them are a part of each others lives. I would give this book 5 stars as it is somehow like a diary and through this book we can see what other people has been going through so we wont self pity ourselves but think of others in need.

Thalia | 18 comments I just finished reading a book called tasty tales. It is about people's life that was changed by food. This book teaches you to like what your doing and be happy with it. The first story is about not giving up and the next story is about not forcing someone if they don't want to do it and to not lie.I didn't read the third one because it looks so boring. The forth one is about encouraging yourself to be confident. There was two stories I didn't understand. I recommend this book and I rate it 3/5

Elaine | 31 comments The book was the Accidental tourist, and the storyline focuses on the M.C. ,Macon Leary, a writer for traveling guides and in the story his son, Ethan, was murdered in an attack. Hence allowing his wife, Sarah, lost in grief and moves out. After certain events, Macon decided to stay with his siblings, Rose, Porter and Charles with their house on Singleton street. Macon then hires Muriel Pritchett,a dog expert to train his dog and Macon later finds himself drifting into a relationship ( with Muriel obviously) in a way which is the total opposite as the relationship he had with his wife who was a chatterbox and lacked accomplishments in education and social status. Macon loved the fact that with Muriel and being in a foreign country made him feel free and more to loving himself. The theme is romance. Rated 4/5
