I chose this book because of the cover and the title.  I found the title intriguing.

Personal Opinion:

Why I choose the Book:

I choose this book because I went in India 2 years ago and I know how difficult the life in

India is.

What I enjoyed about the Book?

I really enjoyed the bravery of the two kids (Hari and Lila)  because its very difficult for kids of 12 and 13 years old to work in another city and take care of their family. They are determined  to adaptto a changing, growing world  which is still developing.

 
I would recommend this book to readers who

I would recommend this book to readers who like novels developing  from a sad  at the
beginning to an happy end. In addition novels comparing the lives of  rich and poor
countries and difficult living conditions are always interesting to explain to readers
that there might be more difficult living conditions than theirs.

 Level: It is not very difficult to understand and quite fast to read.

Pride and Prejudice (4ème/Groupe2)


Author : Jane Austen
Genre:  19th century classic

Blurb :  Pride and Prejudice is the story of the five young girls who need to get married. Those girls are the daughters of Mrs and Mr. Bennet. As a young man named Mr.Bingley is coming in Netherfield, the family is excepting that one of their daughters will married Mr.Bingley. However, Mr.Bingley is not coming all alone, he is coming with his friend Mr. Darcy and his sister. Will Mr. Darcy like Miss. Elizabeth?


Why I chose this book:
I chose this book because I love the author Jane Austen. In addition,  Pride and Prejudice is a book that needs to be read in a life-time. As I first saw the film I thought the book could be as good as the film. I also like the countryside and I found the scenery gorgeous. I am also extremely sensitive about the way of living in the English Countryside at that period of time.

What I liked about the book :
My personal opinion is based on the writing which was extremely good but complicated and the story which is like an emblem of the “gentry” and was a description of the behaviour of citizens of the English countryside who are always in need of money and glamour.

In Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen shows with humour and affection the mentality of the “gentry”, in pinning the stupidity and the strength of the prejudices of this little noblesse of the English countryside, who goes from balls to receptions, and who envies and admires the wealth and titles of the nobility.


I would recommend the book to   the readers who are interested in Jane Austen’s books and who like glamour and irony. I would probably recommend it to girls around 13 years old but after this age, everybody can read it.

Level : I would say that the English language was difficult but I could follow because I had seen the film before.

Theodore Boone : The Accused (4ème/Groupe2)



Author: John Grisham

Genre: Realistic thriller

Blurb: He certainly never expected to be the victim of crime himself. But then his bike is vandalised, he's attacked while doing his homework and, worst framed for a robbery. When stolen computer equipment turns up in Theo's locker, the police start leaning on him hard. And he's the only suspect. What if he is found guilty? What about his dreams of becoming a lawyer?

My opinion: "The intelligent person is accused, he is being bullied by one or more people but he doesn't know who or why. He and his uncle are trying hard to resolve the problem not to  get in any more trouble because the police do not believe them". For me this part is very interesting : this is what the story is about. Only Theo and his uncle can solve the mystery. But there are as well other mysteries and problems to look at...



I chose this book because I love thrillers, mysteries and adventures books.

Level of reading: It is a book that can be read from level A2 and plus.

Recommendation: I would recommend this book to people who love adventure, thrillers and mystery books.

Rating: 5/5

Why I chose this book:
I like books that tell a real story. And I had heard a lot about this book so I was curious to see if it was an amazing book. And, yes, it is!

What I enjoyed about the book:
I really enjoyed this book because we can feel the feelings of Joe, and it’s a story about friendship.

Millions$ (3ème/Groupe1)


 
Author : Franck Cottrell Boyce
Genre: humour, adventure

Blurb: After the death of his mother, a  young boy,  Damian,  is totally obsessed with saints. He wants to become a saint. One  night, as he is with his brother, something heavy hits the roof. He runs outside:  A sack with its contents spilling out. It is a lot of money… Millions….

His discovery comes at a time when England is about to change its currency and join the Euro so they have to find a way to spend the money as quickly as possible…

Personal opinion :

I choose this book because the bookseller recommended it to me. I asked for advice to a book with an intermediate level and with humour, adventure or suspense. It is a short and amusing tale about two brothers trying to make sense of a  fortune. It makes you think about what you would do with a million pounds to be spent in 17 days…

I enjoyed this book because it is a child’s  point of view about the power of the money. It is very funny and extraordinary story.

I would recommend this book to a person who likes a funny read and who has a good sense of humour. Some passages are boring when the boy doesn’t stop talking about saints.
 
Level : intermediate

Clary Fray is seeing things: vampires in Brooklyn and werewolves in Manhattan. Irresistibly drawn to Shadowhunters , a secret group of warriors dedicated  to ridding the earth of demons, Clary discovers the dark side of New York City – and the dangers of forbidden love.


I chose this book because I love reading science fiction books and because when I read the blurb I found it really interesting.
In this book one of the characters is really funny and made me laugh.
I really recommend this book to people who are reading science fiction because I really did enjoy it and it was a really good book.
This book is not that hard for people who understand English. Everyone could read it.

As fear ripples through his small hometown and the police hit dead ends, it’s up to Theo to use his legal   knowledge and investigative skills to chase down the truth and save April.
My opinion:
I choose this book because I love mystery and thriller novels. 

What I liked about the book:

It is a great book because Theo, the principal character and  the son of two layers that had the firm, Boone & Boone,  makes fun of the police, he knows the laws by heart and the police do not know them all. Theo is being helped by his uncle who finds clues for  him. That’s why Theo could be on the trail of his best friend. It took him two days to find the trail but in four days the police came to a dead end.

I would recommend the book to readers who love adventures, thrillers and mystery books.

THE HOBBIT



Author: J.R.R. Tolkien




Summary: This book is about Bilbo Bagins, a Hobbit. Hobbits are a race which looks like small humans with hairy feet. They love to live calmly in very cosy little hobbit holes under a grassy hill and have many meals per day (up to six!!). Bilbo was peacefully making smoke-rings with his pipe in his garden when a wizard, Gandalf, came to ask him to join him for an adventure. But Hobbits prefer not to have any adventures and live peacefully so Bilbo refuses but invites Gandalf  for tea the next day. At tea time, somebody knocks at Bilbo’s door: it’s Gandalf and thirteen dwarves who persuade Bilbo to set out on the adventure. The dwarves are about to embark on a great quest to reclaim their treasure from the fearsome dragon Smaug, and Bilbo is to act as their “burglar”. The dwarves are very sceptical about Gandalf’s choice, and Bilbo is terrified to leave his comfortable life to seek adventure. But Gandalf assures both Bilbo and the dwarves that the hobbit has hidden abilities which would be useful to the company. Will they succeed in their task or will they die killed by the dragon himself or by other dreadful creatures which infest the region crossing their path?

Personal Opinion: Even if this book is a bit long (364 p.) I think it is very easy to read and not boring. This book is a masterpiece of the well-known J.R.R. Tolkien. Compared to the Lord of The Rings, this book is much easier to read and much more exciting. The book is also a bit different from the film. What I think is amazing in this book is that everything is invented and still full of details. In conclusion, I recommend this book to every reader even for English beginners! 

¨LIFE OF PI¨ written by Yann Martel

 It´s a strong-emotion book, it´s very interesting and it was hard to stop reading.




The main character is Piscine Molitor Patel (Piscine Molitor was a swimming pool in France that his uncle Mamaji loved because the water of the pool was crystalline and warm) who used to live in India but when he tells his story he is living in Canada. When he was a child he lived in a zoo with his brother, mother and father . He practiced three religions, he was a Muslim, a Christian and a Hindu. He moved to Canada because his father wanted to escape from India. They left on a Japanese ship which sank in the Pacific Ocean and only Pi, a 16 year-old Indian, a zebra , a hyena, an orang-utan and a 450-pound Royal Bengal  tiger ended up on a life boat . Will they survive?
