This is a book which gives you complete knowledge on the World War II. While reading this book, you feel like you are at the battlefield; seeing bombs falling, guns being fired, and, thousands and lakhs of people dying. You are also told about the kind of war that took place in different parts of the world. For example, the Hiroshima and the Nagasaki incidents, that ruined almost the whole of Japan have been explained in a fantastic way. But the book could have been made even more interesting by telling some more about all the incidents and leaders that the world noticed during the war. Though the information is brief, but as I told, more information could be given. But overall, a very good book, and a must- read for those who like studying and are curious to know about History.

the castle of adventure This book is set in Scotland and certainly has a Scottish feel to it, with its mountains, castles and golden eagles, though the country is not specified until The Mountain of Adventure, when Jack recalls observing an eagles' nest at a castle in Scotland. It is the Easter holidays and Jack, Philip, Dinah and Lucy-Ann are on holiday with Mrs Mannering at Spring Cottage, which is set on a hill below a castle. Out on the hillside they meet Tassie, a local girl who lives in a tumble-down cottage with her mother and is allowed to run wild. Tassie cannot read or write but has a deep knowledge of animals and the countryside. She is excellent at climbing, sure-footed and has a good sense of direction, relying on her instincts to guide her: "She was more like a very intelligent animal than a little girl." Indeed, with her bare feet, ragged frock and amazing agility she seems to be a part of the wild landscape around her — rather like a sprite or a wood-nymph. Perhaps because he too has a rapport with animals, she latches on to Philip and even brings him a fox-cub, which he names Button. The children's happiness is complete when they discover that Bill Smugs is on a job in the area and plans to visit them soon. Jack and the others are determined to explore the castle on the hill, despite the fact that the road to it has been destroyed by a landslide and is treacherous. Tassie shows them how to climb up the cliff behind the castle and put a plank across from a ledge to one of the slit-like windows so that they can get inside. The castle is "musty, dusty, fusty," as Kiki loves to say, but Jack nevertheless decides to stay there for a few days, in order to photograph some eagles which have built their nest on a crag in the courtyard. Needless to say, puzzling things soon begin to happen. The pump in the kitchen is being used on a regular basis and there is a light in the tower at night. On further investigation, the children discover an underground room in which a group of men hold regular meetings.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid #9: The Long Haul (English) by Jeff Kinney So funny I have always loved Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. They are addicting. But usually they never follow a storyline, they just give random incidences from Greg's life. In this book, there actually was a story. And eve though it meant having the worst road trip ever, it al gave you something to think about at the end of the book.
