I chose this book because the picture of this cover was beautiful and I was attracted. I couldn’t atop reading because it was so exciting story. I was attracted by not only this story but also beautiful illustrations.
The history of Egypt and Egyptian tombs are so mysterious and attractive and there are a lot of treasures. So many explorers go searching for treasure. But what they do is breaking a grave open or bad behavior. So ghosts in the tombs, of course, get angry and many strange things will occur because of their curse. That’s horror! (97 words)

This book tells me about English men and women’s custom, their way to think and their behavior. I have known a few things about their culture such as drinking tea and behaving gently, but I read this book and I knew so many things I have never heard. If the author knew about Japanese custom and culture, would he write a book about Japan which Japanese seems ‘Alien’?
I think this book was so interesting. I recommend you to read it. So I evaluated it at 5 stars. (88words)

It is an exciting strange story. Tom, the hero of the story, is Katy’s boy-friend. Both of them are the members of the band, Steel City. They hope to become pop stars.

My heart was beating fast while I was reading it. It was not so easy but I could read it without deadlock. So I evaluated it at 5 stars. (94 words)
