Sherlock Holmes THE BLUE DIAMOND


I read a book which is Sherlock Holmes THE BLUE DIAMOND. Because I like mystery. When I found this book, I thought this is about thief who stole a blue diamond. It was true, but I was surprised when I read one phrase.
‘No, Mr Holmes. My wife found this in the bird!’
Actually the blue diamond was found from a stomach of a goose. Holmes was surprised, too. The diamond was small, but it was too expensive. Holmes and his friend Watson started to thinking about criminal who stole the diamond and why he put in it at stomach of the bird.

‘Ah, yes. But those geese weren’t our geese. They came from a man with a little shop in Covent Garden. Breckinridge is his name.’
Holmes and Watson went to a shop which sells geese. But the owner said “I bought geese from Covent Garden.” So they went to there but Covent Garden’s owner said “I bought geese from Mrs O.” They thought to solve this mystery is difficult. Suddenly a man came to Covent Garden, actually he is a thief. His name is Ryder.

‘And now, Watson, let’s ask Mrs Hudson to bring in our dinner.’
This is the last phrase of this book. This was said by Holmes. Why Ryder stole blue diamond? Why he put it in the stomach of goose? If you know these mysteries please read this book.

GOODBYE MR HOLLYWOOD

 Book Review:      Today I read GOODBYE MR HOLLYWOOD . Firstly I had thought this book is mystery. However it's not mystery story like Holmes but it contained accidents or questions.        There was a man who is Nick. He is a travel writer and have come Whistler, in Canada for his working. At a cafe in the village he met a pretty lady. He is called Mr. Hollywood from her because Nick likes movies. It's not strange thing but actually the name was beginning of all incidents.       Nick didn't know about the lady, but felt exciting because she was beautiful.

I thought the officer isn't kind and not suit for police men.      To be safe he met the lady again because he has thought she knows something about

'Who, Sir? Me, Sir?'

 Book Review:      Today I finished reading a book of 'Who, Sir? Me, Sir?' This was little long and high level for me, so there are some points that I couldn't understand. However the story was interesting.     There was a teacher who wants his class to have ambition, and to do great things in life. Therefore he enters them for a sporting competition against the rich students of Greycoats School. The team that he has chosen for the competition think the teacher has gone crazy. 'Who, Sir? Me, Sir?' says little boy who is called Hoomey, his eyes round with horror. 'We'll never beat Greycoats,'  the others cry. 'Never in a million years!'      However you don't know what you can do until you try...      If you know the result of the competition, I recommend to read this book. As for me the result made me surprising because I couldn't guess the troubles. About this book OBW3 YL  3.2 Pages  57 Words count  10296 Thank you
