The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes (The Oxford Sherlock Holmes)

The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes (The Oxford Sherlock Holmes)

By Arthur Conan Doyle, Christopher Roden

This is a very classical novel, it contains many short adventures about Sherlock Holmes. All of them are full of mystery and very interesting. The plots are compact that let people cannot realise what happened yet, then the criminals are arrested. I love the way which Conan Doyle used to describe characters. Although there are many characters in this novel. but I can clearly remember each of them. Because the author used many adjective to describe each of them. "The Final Problem" is my favourite stories of this book. Although Sherlock died in this story, the plots are still very interesting. Sherlock and professor Moriarty are both died. The process of the conflict between them is very thrilling.

Julius Caesar (The Alexander Shakespeare)

Julius Caesar (The Alexander Shakespeare)

By William Shakespeare

This is my book review of Julius Caesar, the book by William Shakespeare. I gave this book 3 stars because it was kind of hard to understand, because in the olden times people used different words. Also, the whole storyline wasn’t very interesting. And last of all, it was a play. A play! Not a book. But that is the negative side. I have a few positive notes about the book too. It was interesting learning how romans live. I never actually payed lots of attention to history, but this book got me learning. How Julius Caesar lived, his friends, his allies, and how he died. Read this if you’re interested in history. I would recommend this to kids 9+.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (Step-up adventures)

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (Step-up adventures)

By Judith Conaway

I gave this book a 4 star rating because it caught my attention. This book is about the story of three accidental visitors to an underwater world hosted by the mysterious Captain Nemo. From their arrival on board the Nautilus, the scholarly Professor Aronnax, loyal Conseil, and adventurous Ned Land are torn between exploring the new wonders of their surroundings and finding a way to escape. They originally went to Nautilus to find out what species of undiscovered whale has been damaging world shipping. However, far from encountering a whale that has wrecked world shipping, they soon find themselves on the iron plating of a new kind of vessel, a submarine. Read this book to find out more. I made a connection with this book because I saw the front cover had the tentacles and the tentacles were wrapped around the ship and the ship looked like it was sinking.

The Great Gatsby

This book is great, though you might want to read a dictionary or something first so you can practice learning big words because this book has a lot of them. It would be a great book to have in your collection and defiantly worth the read.

Brown bear, Brown bear, what do you see?

By Bill Martin

A classic book my preschoolers love! Each time we read it they follow along and try to guess what they will see next. It's a great book to be read aloud and allows the children to interact with the text as a group. I recommend this book for toddlers and preschoolers!

By Patricia McCormick

This book is AMAZING. Words cannot express how well the author did on writing this book. It is a very depressing story about a thirteen year old girl name Lakshmi, and her experience with the cruelty in this world. Lakshmi is a typical, poor hill girl. One day her step father decides to let her work as a maid in the city to earn money for the family. But when she visits the city, she finds out that she is not actually there to become a maid but something she never imagined doing in her lifetime. I must warn you this is a very depressing story as it progresses . It can be a lot for young readers to handle. But this book is a very inspiring and excellent book, I highly suggest this book to everyone.

Night; with Connections

Night; with Connections

By RINEHART AND WINSTON HOLT

I decided to read this book when I was at the library and it looked interesting so I started reading it. This book is a boring book in my opinion. I wouldn't recommend it because it dont have good conflicts and plots and stuff. However I would recommend this book to someone who likes war and others teenagers experience. This book is not all bad it just didn't catch my eye it probably will too you.
