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 it’s 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 poorcountries and difficult living conditions are always interesting to explain to readers
that there might be more difficult living conditions than theirs.

Pride and Prejudice (4ème/Groupe2)
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...
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.

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

the blurb I found it really interesting.

funny and made me laugh.
I really recommend this book to people who are

My opinion:
