The first page, the opening, attracted me to keep reading. It was unique. It was written of what the character was wearing in the first paragraph of the first chapter. Also, there was no difficult word on the first page.

There are two main characters in this story. One of them called Bella, moved to a small town. Actually, she was not popular in the school that she's used to attend, but she beacem famous in the new school. Moreover, three boys asked her go out and they wanted to go to spring dance together. However, Bella rejected all three then she goes out with Edward Cullen who is a vampired. He can read people's mind. The Cullens, his all family, are vampires and they dont prefer that Edward goes out with Bella who is a human because it can be dangerous. They. vampires, are not getting old forever. One more thing that is different from people is they dont eat food.

Lion Boy

"Lion Boy- The chase by Zizou Corder"

　

Rating: ★★★★☆

Title: Lion Boy - the chase

Edited by: Zizou Corder

Genre: advanture

　

During the lesson in English, Ms. Farrer handed out all book text each person, also she gave me one text that is called Lion Boy- The chase. I could feel that this is such a good book and i thought it may be an advanture story, even though i heard only the name of this bool, Lion Boy.

Also, i used to be bored with romance or horror book such as Twilight, so actually i needed a new book!

　

NEW VOCABULARY: 1) mend to repair somthing that has been damaged or broken

　

2) mushy too emotional in a way that is embarrassing

　

What kind of writing style and language does the writer use? Quote examples to support what you say.

It is written in such a innocent and child-like way that there is never any doubt who the book is written for. "What's wrong with me?" "Obviously this is nonsense and he is crazy, so we send him to the secure hopital." As i read these quotes, i felt that the authour tried to use easy words and be friendly with the young readers.

　

What i liked while i was reading.

The characters are more three-dimensional and the narrative more consistent. There is plenty of action but also a subtle subtext that will interest gifted readers. There is some interesting commentary on the wide divisions of wealth in our global community, as well as a few sly digs at the use and abuse of genetic manipulation, and the uncaring and impersonal attitude of large companies.
