L’adversaire – Emmanuel Carrère
Ce livre que vous avez dans vos mains nous raconte l’histoire d’un homme Jean-Claude Romand, qui a menti et qui a trompé tout le monde pendant vingt ans. Quand il ne peut plus, le 9 janvier 1993, il tue toute sa famille: sa femme, ses enfants, ses parents et après il a l’intention de se suicider mais ça ne marche pas. C’est unn écrivain, Emmanuel Carrère, qui nous raconte l’histoire, car il veut savoir pourquoi il a fait cela. Le meurtrier nous raconte toute sa vie depuis qu’il était un enfant. La chose la plus effrayante est que c’est un fait réel. C’est un livre qui nous emmène dans l’esprit d’un meurtrier.

Pas pleurer – Lydie Salvayre
“… où elle dut apprendre une nouvelle langue et de nouvelles façons de vivre et de se comporter, pas pleurer”
Lydie Salvayre exprime dans ce roman jusqu’à quel point la guerre peut changer les gens, les sentiments, les relations, les idéaux, les amours et les ambitions. Dans le cadre de l’affrontement en Espagne pendant la guerre civile, entre républicains et fascistes, mais aussi entre communistes et libertaires, entre tradition et changement, entre hommes et femmes, l’auteure représente juste en deux familles toute la société de l’époque.

Un homme à distance – Katherine Pancol
“Un homme à distance” explique l’histoire de Kay Bartholdi (libraire à Fécamp, France) et Jonathan Shields (un inconnu américain qui commence à écrire des lettres pour lui commander des livres).
Peu à peu, ils apprennent à mieux se connaître et le ton des lettres commence à être plus intime et affectueux. Comment va finir cette aventure? Qui sait? Si tu aimes lire des romans romantiques
pleins de confidences, de reproches, de jalousie, etc. qui s’allongent page après page et qu’il semble qu’ils ne vont pas finir, je t’invite à lire “Un homme à distance”.

WONDER
WONDER
Wonder was written by R.J Palacio in 2012.
This book is about a fifth-grade boy called August Pullman, who has several facial differences compared with a “normal” kid’s face. The book starts when he was homeschooled by his mum and she decided to change to a real school. So, August and the rest of the family reacted to this decision.
The novel follows his entire first year of school, which is incredibly emotional and he has good experiences as well as bad ones.
I started reading this book only to improve my English without any interest. However, from the beginning I was extremely keen on following August’s story and I couldn’t stop reading. In my opinion, this book shows perfectly all different positions and opinions in whichever situation and the feelings which involve that moment. Therefore, Wonder is a fantastic book because it transmits the feelings incredibly well.
Finally, I would recommend this book to everyone, especially teenagers and kids, in order to avoid bullying which is a real problem in our society.

WONDER
Wonder is a novel by Raquel Jaramillo, written after an incident getting ice cream with her son and published under the pen name R.J. Palacio in 2012.
The main character is August “Auggie” Pullman, a 10-year-old with a rare facial deformity and a cleft lip. Because of his many surgeries, his mother had been home-schooling him, but his parents had come to decide that he should be at a local private school, Beecher Prep, for middle school.
Auggie first visits Beecher and meets the director, Mr. Tushman. He is also introduced to three students, Jack Will, Julian Albans and Charlotte Cody. Auggie is uncomfortable and self-conscious around other kids, but he slowly learns to get around at school. He befriends both Jack and Charlotte, and another girl named Summer. Julian refuses to interact with Auggie, telling him that he is disgusting.
Julian calls Auggie a freak, and Jack punches him, getting himself suspended for two days. Auggie’s mom considers pulling him from school, but Auggie stays and Jack apologizes for what he said. During the remainder of the year, Julian continues to bully Auggie, leaving threatening notes in his and Jack’s lockers, and they write notes back using humor.
During a school trip, Auggie and Jack are attacked by some seventh graders, but a few of Julian’s group comes to their rescue. Overall, Julian’s popularity declines, and people begin to accept Auggie more fully.
At the end of the year,…
In my opinion this is a book that everybody should read, because it is an example that appearences are not important and we are too used to judging people before meeting them, so it is a good book that I recommend for all ages because everybody needs to learn to be respectful with people. I enjoyed the book a lot.

Review The No. 1 Ladies´ Detective Agency
The No. 1 Ladies´ Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith
Joan Manel Minguell Mir. Fourth English Level
The main character in the story is Precious Ramotswe, who lives in Botswana. Mma Ramotswe ( That how she is known throughout the story) had no mother and was brought up by her father and her father’s cousin. She grew up to be a sensible, intelligent and quite well educated woman. She married for the first time to a musician, Note Mokoti, but they divorced when she got tired of being hit by him. At the end of the story, she will accept to marry to owner of mechanical workshop J.L.B Matekoni.
After his father died, she used the money from his farm to buy a small building and start his own detective agency. She called “The No. 1 Ladies’s Detective Agency”. She set up the agency with a shortage of means: a small white van, few furniture and an old typewriter. But Mma Ramotswe has two main abilities: the intuition and intelligence necessary to solve the cases.
Mma Ramotswe encounters lots of different cases. Most of them which she has to solve are related to issues of everyday life: deception, betrayal or ambition. One of the distinctive features of the character of Mma Ramotswe is that she makes deeply observations about human behavior and reflects how these behaviors have been developed.
Being a book of adventures, in general, I could understand the plot, although with some difficulties, since there were many words that I did not know the meaning.
