Rina's book review

Just think. You min five million pounds in the lottery - suddenly you are rich! Everybody wants to win the lottery. A million pounds, perhaps five million, even ten million. How wonderful! Emma Carter buys a ticket for the lottery every week, and puts the ticket carefully in her bag. She is seventy-three years old and doesn't have much money. She would like to visit her son in Australia, but tickets are very expensive. Jason Williams also buys lottery tickets every week. But he is not a very nice young man. He sometimes steals things. One day, he hits old ladies in the street, snatches their bags and run away.. I like the lottery because we can dream for rich. This book's title is "the lottery winner" and I decided to read because of just this title. I thought this is happy, dreaming and fun story. However, the story is not only happiness but also sad. It was very interesting and I recommend you to read this book.

   I finished reading this book but it took longer time to read than I have expected. This book is a little difficult for me to understand, I think some expressions are unclear. At first, I was able to understand clearly and it kept me in suspense but I think it was imperfect around the end of this book.    This is suspense or mystery fiction about a sibling. Richard Walton is in trouble again. He has lost his job, and he has borrowed money from his sister, Jennifer again. And now he has disappeared. Jennifer is looking for him, and police, too. They both have some questions that they want to ask him.     How did he lose his job?     Why did he fly to Frankfurt?     Who gave his girlfriend those very expensive gold ear-rings? Will they find him? 

This book consists of three short stories; 1. The girl with green eyes 2. South for the winter 3. Mr Harris and the night train These are all stories of what happened on the train. Each story was very short and easy to read, but the content was not so detailed.

'I can play the piano,' he thought. 'Nobody taught me, but my mind tells my fingers what to do, and I can make music.'    One day, a farmer tells a farm boy to take everything out of an old building and throw it away. 'It's all rubbish,' he says.    In the middle of all the rubbish, the boy finds a beautiful old piano. He has never played the piano before, but now, when his fingers touch the piano, he begins to play. He closes his eyes and the music comes to him, and the music moves his fingers.    When he opens his eyes again, he knows that his life is changed forever... 　I thought all character in this story is good. This book made me happy.

’What a strange feeling!’ said Alice.

Later, many things happened to Alice and  she  is then called as a witness in the trial of the Knave of Hearts, who is accused of having stolen the Queen’s tarts. However, when the Queen demands that Alice be beheaded, Alice realizes that the characters are only a pack of cards, and she then awakens from her dream.    As you know, this is very famous fantasy story. I had read this book in Japanese but reading in English is the first time for me. I read  same story, but re

I stopped in front of the shop and looked at the picture. At first I felt interested, then I felt angry, then afraid. It was a horrible, ugly picture.
