My favorite book is "Il giorno in più", by Fabio Volo, which is a story of a man that saw the same woman on the subway every morning going to work, and eventually he gets to meet her after observing her from many months. I liked the book mostly because I enjoy the author's writing, many things he writes are very relatable and, at the same time, they help detach from reality for a while, and I think that that is what reading is supposed to be about.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book is "the planet of the Gods", by Zecharia Sitchin, this is a type of historic book that tells that thousands of years ago aliens came to our world and gave us a hand to create pyramids, in fact all the pyramids: the egyptian, the sumerian and the Aztecs were all made in the same historical period and with hi-tech. the evolution of the human specie was to fast we staid 25 thousands years in caverns and all of a sudden we started to create cities. I like this book because it talk of something that maybe had really happen thousands of years ago. The writing is simple and really fluid.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book is "The city of thieves", by Ian Livingstone. Its a strange book, because its like a game, where you are the protagonist of the story and you decide what to do... You are in the city of Silverstone and your main enemy is Zanbar Bone and his bloodthirsty Moon Dogs... Your mission takes you along the dark, twisting streets of Port Blacksand to seek the help of the wizard Nicodemus, should you survive?
ReplyDeleteMy favourite book is "The Boy in the striped Pyjamas" by John Boyne. It's the story about this eight year old, Bruno, who lived at the time of the Holocaust. He is the son of a German general and has a boring life but one day he gets to know a jewish boy his age, Shmuel. I like this book because it makes you see the Holocaust from the unbiased and innocent eyes of a boy. The two boys start talking and the only thing that separates them from being together is the fence of the concentration camp. The story is really involving and interesting. I also like the way the book is written since it's really fluid and easy to read.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite book is "Animal Farm" by Gerge Orwell"
ReplyDeleteOne day Mr. jones the manor of the farm arrives at home late and drunk, forgetting to give food to the animals they start a rebellion. The animals re-name the farm in Animal Farm.They make new laws about working hours , free time and general laws. Acting as a human is forbidden . Only animals that walk on four legs are defended by animal farm. At the end of the book the leader of the farm Napoleon starts acting as the farmer did. The situation of the animals at the starting and at the end of the book is almost the same. I really liked this boom because it is unusual and impossible.The text as many other books written by Orwell are fluid and easy to understand.
My favourite book is "The Boy in the striped Pyjamas" by John Boyne. Bruno is a nine-year-old boy that lives in Berlin with his family durnig World War II. His father is an SS officer who is promoted to "Commandant" by Adolf Hitler and Bruno and his family need to move away to a place called Auschwitz. Bruno gets to know Shmuel, a boy strangely dressed in striped pyjamas who lives behind an electrifield fence. This story is very interesting but very sad too. I recommend this book to people of my age because it makes you reflect a lot.
ReplyDeleteIsotta and Jonathan--
ReplyDeleteTwo classics, in my opinion!
Emilia...
ReplyDeleteI have read the same book, by Fabio Volo last year. It's really a nice book, i really enjoyed reading it!
My favorite book is ' Le parole che non ti ho mai detto' By Nicholas Sparks. It's really a good love story. Theresa Osborne , divorced mum and a journalist living in Boston ..finds one day a bottle with a messagge on the beach. She starts reading the letter and finds out that the man who signed it, Garret has lost his lover and still feels bad about it. Garret writes these letters as if he could really talk to his lover, Catherine. Theresa decides so to use the letter for a new article in her newspaper and soon after finds two more letters by Garret . This novel talks about Theresa's journey to Cape Cod Bay to find out what Garret really looks like. They will both fall in love and Theresa feels like she found the right one ..although this novel will not end as any reader thinks.
I really do recommend this book, to people who like love stories.
My favourite book is "Holes" written by Louis Sachar. The book talks about the life of a group of teenagers, that are in a reformatory camp. The story is really sad, but the interesting writing makes you want to continue untill the end.
