"This book tells us how people can improve despite the events. Robert Williams tries to explain to the readers how friendship is the best way to fight against a dreadful situation.
I recommend reading it because it shows the importance of friendship and it is not hard reading.
The characters try to do their best to help their relatives and friends to overcome tough times so it is a positive message for the reader.

Matilda. Roald Dahl
Oscar Casado. NI2 Group A
I think that this is the kind of stories everybody likes. It is a good story, not only for children but also for parents bacause it has a nice message and it can help us understand children's world.
I recommend reading this book because it is easy and funny and especially because it brings back Cinderella in the character of Matilda. There is also a witch, Miss Trunchlook and the fairy godmother, Miss Honey. It is, therefore, a narrative with all the ingredients of a classic story. Summing up, interesting and recommended.

Desert Flower. Waris Dirie
Eva Jiménez, NI2 Group D.
Waris's determination, courage and strenth made her change her destiny. They are the main ingredients in this amazing story. I highly recommend reading it.

Twilight. Stephanie Meyer
Minka Paris (NI2 Group B)
Twilight is a very beautiful and interesting book because, from the first page, the story is interesting and easy to follow in English. It mixes fantasy and reality. Bella, the main character, is an ordinary girl, like me or like anyone I know and Edward is a misterious and dangerous vampire. Despite being different, he introduces her to the vampire's world and they fall in love.
The plot is good and gripping and the characters are very interesting, so I highly recommend teenagers read it.

The Curious Incedent of the Dog in the Night-Time. Mark Haddon
Eduardo Pérez . (NI2-Group D)
I have enjoyed a lot reading this book. First of all, it is easy to read because the narrator is a teenager. It is worth reading in English as the vocabulary is not hard and the plot can be followed easily.
I have especially liked the way the writer explains Asperger's Syndrome. It made me understand people with this symdrome and see the way their mind work. I have also enjoyed Christopher's drawings and dyagrams which reflect his own thoughts and the author has wisely used them as a resort.
Summarizing, it sometimes is funny and sometimes sad but always a good option.

Fantastic Mr Fox
Eva (Group D) said:
In my opinion this is another great story written by Roald Dahl. I read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory many years ago and I liked it a lot. Nowadays, when I was reading Fantastic Mr Fox, I realised that Dahl is a very special writer with singular imagination which makes him a great story teller.
Despite being an easy book, there is a wide range of new and interesting vocabulary.
I highly recommend reading it. Enjoy as if you were a child!!

In the company of Cheerful Ladies. McCall smith

This is a very entertaining novel which shows us the life in Botswana. The main character, Mma Ratmoswe, lives without economic problems because she has worked hard to have a good life but there are other people who have a lot of problems and a difficult life.
It's a story of loneliness, loyalty and survival. I've liked it and I'd recommend it because it is easy to read.

Matilda. Roald Dahl
Ana said:
Matilda is apparently a children's book but I think that it also shows a hard reality whose cruelty only adults can value.
On the one hand the books tells a story that, unfortunately, is quite common for special or just different people who feel that nobody understands them and they are seem as if they belonged to another planet.
On the other hand Dahl shows a situation that nowadays is more and more frequent and it is a society that values the most superficial things, like physical appearance and money and, however, neglects some of the important values like respect, affection and sympathy.
This book is easy to read because of its structure which is divided into short chapters where the author tells us highly gifted chil's exciting and funny adventures. It is very interesting and entertaining and I would recommend it to readers of any age.

It's one of thehardest books I've ever read. Its main characters, Mariam and Laila will stay in my mind for ever. They made me know just how lucky I am to be a Spanish woman and how unfortunate people can be in some countries...
Reading this novel by Khaled Hosseini has made me have strong feelings because you feel the pain and the sorrow these women do. I would strongly recommend it. It's unforgattable!!!
