My foreign books

I'm a hard- core fan of Hally Potter.

I have 6 books in a sereies.

From 1 to 3 are good condition and very easy to read.

"Historian" is about a vampire.
It beconed me to go to the Eastern European contries.
I made more remarks in my blog

"Twenties girl " is a very funny and cute story.

I recomend this book for all girls.

"Twilight" and "new moon" are horror fictions.

There are a lot of adrable characters, vampire and wolf man.

But I'm sure that it's a dream of girls.

"blink" is written about the truth of "glimpse".

I'm interesten in some evidences, can tell just by looking or love at first sight,

the baced on the science researches.

"Hole" is a wonder story.

Boys are sended to a prerelease center, are digging holes in a dried up lake.

I'm wondering whether you may think it is real boring

or you can read with great interest.

I want to share our feelings.
I have some other books, "Catcher in the rye" "predictably irrational" "out liers".

I need more time to read books.

Twenties girl by Sophie Kinsella

I've read this book at the recommendation of Josh, my English teacher. I' d really enjoyed this humorous, charming story.

This story's main character is Lara. Lara is an ordinary girl except her uncle, he has built up a big coffee company. Lara has just lost her love and failed her job. One day Lara meets a ghost at her aunt's funeral ceremony. Her name is Sadie, she is just Lara's aunt. She importunes Lara to search her necklace, lovely dragonfly and limestone beaded necklace. She has been holding a sad love story with a painter. At the end, all mysteries are going to the one answer. The story is set up by a lot of well thought pieces.

After reading, I'm wondering why there are a lot of feel-good victorious stories in US. I think that this is good to adapt the novel for the screen.

I'm sure that this is a very fantastic story, and perfect for a change.

Twilight

Since I heard the reputation of "Twilight" in US last summer, I had wanted to read it.

After reading, I've understood the cause of "Twilight boom". I'm convinced that this book was written for young girl's.

In Japan, there are some famous idol groups who girls get crazy. And this boom is spreading to Asian countries, like Korea or Taiwan or Veit nam. I think that such a generation, adolescent children need something that fasionates them. But in US, untill now, there was no idol who young girls get crazy.

There are all kinds of items which fasinate girls, danger and handsome boy and endless love and forbidden love with this book.

The story begins with the heroine's move, to a bit mysterious town. Her name is Bella. She meets with a boy, incredibly good-looking, and she falls in love with him. But in fact he was a vampire. She was an ordinary girl in former town, but in this mysterious town, she suddenly becomes popular. This is a dream of every ordinary girl.

This story is written from Bella'spoint of view. So, as reading, girls would identify theirselves with Bella and they might feel to fall in love with him.

Interestingly, "Twilight" is really leaving from the real world. Girls would realize "this is just a story". So, this boom may not last for a long time, like a Japanes idol phenomenon.

And I'm looking forward to seeing what the last scene will come.

Historian by Elizabeth Kostove

Finally, I've finished reading "Histrian". It took so long time, because it was very long long story for me. But, I really enjoyed it.
This book was written by Elizabeth Kostove, American, she won the 2003 Hopwood Award for this novel, and this will be made into a movie in 2010.
The Historian deals with a young woman searching for her father who is in turn searching for the grave of Vlad the Impaler (the inspiration for Dracula).
Vlad Ⅲmade famous in the Bram Stoker's fictional Dracula(1958), was a real person. the supposed connections between Vlad Ⅲand Bram's Dracula attracted popular attention. During his main reign (1456–1462), he is said to have killed from 40,000 to 100,000 European civilians and 100,000 Ottoman, mainly by using his favourite method of impaling them on a sharp pole.He was a hero scared Ottoman, but on other front he was a bloody dictator. The fear from the inhumanity of the matter was long remembered by the people and would pass into legend.Later, every time when plague was striken people, they would remember it.
The story span three generation. All is the historian. It was narrative and lyrical poetry text, especially, the old and histrical cities in Eastern Europe were described very detail and beautiful.
Most characters were scholars. You will give a grimpse into the academic circles.
And in my opinion, the most exciting part was the scene of chacing the true monestery be burried Dracula.
I bemoan the scences of meeting with Dracula and the cause of floosing Rosshi's memory. Even by these long story, it was too short to discribe the Dracula's mystery.
When make a movie of it, I hope that they tell the story of that's part in detail.
Well, why now, at the end of a century of scientific advance, Dracula is becoming popular in America?
I'm convince that comes from the financial cricis in 2009. Well, how about 1958( which Dracula's movie became a hit. )? 1958 was in the middle of not only the high economic growth, but also the Cold War era and before the Berlin Blockade. People would be perturebed about the world affairs, in between two extremes, and they might feel some indefinable anxieties.
I've realized, now is the one of these eras.
In fact, I read the Japanese translation of this novel, because of winter vacation. I prefer the original to the translation. It became too feel tight, caused by the correct trabslation.
Well, next I'll try to read "twilight", it is also a vampire story and become so popular in America.
I'd like enjoy reading!
