Book Review 14

I read a book whose title is Marcel and the Shakespeare Letters.
There are two mice. Marcel is a French mouse and Henry is a British mouse. Every autumn Marcel visits Henry in London. Marcel and Henry sit in big chairs and talk for a long time with drinking tea. Henry talked about his new neighbor upstairs. The neighbor’s name is Professor Barton. He’s going to be famous because he has a letter from Shakespeare and he will give it to the British Museum in London. Two mice want to see the letters so they go upstairs but it’s not there because a woman stole them. The woman is going to New York so they run after her. They took a train and go to the airport.
At the airport, they find the woman listening to her Walkman and she reading a newspaper, too. Her bag is on the floor so Marcel climbs up the bag with his small knife. He cut a hole in it and he goes into the bag. He finds the letters but at the time, she sees them. They run away but she is very fast. Fortunately she cannot get them because she hits a fat man so they did not be caught. They go back Barton’s house and put them on the table. The man come to the room and looks at the letters. He is really surprised and he is happy. He can give them to the museum.

Book Review 11

I read a book whose title is The Other Man. This story was strange and the story is a man’s experience. Something strange has happened to him.
He is a writer and he wanted to write long book so he left his home and he found a little room. The room was really quiet and it was good for writing. Then things began to happen. He put his pen on the table and he went out but there was not his pen when he came back. Another strange thing happened that night. He was in bed and the room was quiet. Suddenly he heard a man’s voice. He can see a man in the room. After that, strange things happened every day. The room was small and there were just a bed, a table, a chair and a mirror. One day he looked in the mirror and he saw a man who is not him. He decided to leave the room the next day. He had a strange dream the night. The other man stood by his bed and spoke to him. The man said he will never leave the room. He opened his eyes and he tried to leave the room soon but he couldn’t. He looked at the room and he also looked in the mirror. He did not see the other man and also he did not see his own face. The mirror was empty! The other man was not in the mirror and he sat at the table with his pen. The man wrote his book. The other man has taken his room and his body and his voice. That is his story. I was so frightened to read this story.

On the way his car stopped and he noticed that he hadn’t any petrol but he didn’t know where is he. He saw a girl and he asked to her where can he find some petrol. She said come with her to her village. The village was small so it(s not on his map. He was surprised because people who lived the village are little strange. They cook their food over a wood fore and their clothes were strange, too. He asked her family about petrol but they didn’t understand. They didn’t know the petrol!
And then after the dinner, the girl and he went out into the garden in the moonlight. Her name is Mary. He falls in love with her. She is very pretty but her face grew sad. She said he must go now and she said good-bye. He didn’t understand what she meant and he said he comes back after he’ll find some petrol and he had gone. He got some petrol and he asked the name of village but the man at the petrol station gave him a strange look. The man said there was a village there, but it isn’t there now. He was really surprise and he cannot believe that. The man told him a story about the village. For one day in ten years, it lives again. Then it is lost again for another ten years. He has to wait ten years and he decides he will not leave this time.
