The Good Earth

Last week I've reread a classic novel called the Good Earth(yes the one that Oprah showed at her bookclub but actually I've read it first then I found out out that she once had it in her bookclub)It is written by Pearl S Buck and was published in 1931 and receive a Pulitzer Prize in 1932.

The good
.I like how the story was told it was like reading an autobiography but of course it is more interesting.
.O Lan was a terrific character(Spoiler alert:I cried when she died)
.While the ending was sad I really liked it

The bad
.I really hated Wang Lung and Cuckoo for how they treated O Lan

Quick summary
Wang Lung wakes up and prepare himself since today he is going to get married from a slave girl at the House of Hwang her name is O Lan.Luck is on his side as his harvest grows healthily(thanks to O Lan hard work)and he is gifted with a baby boy(after O Lan gave birth she quickly helps Wang Lung at the field )So with some money he bought some land at the House of Hwang since they have so many and their harvesting isn't doing that well........ That's all I guess.

The conclusion
The Good Earth is a great classic filled with detailed description about China(when the author was young she lived there)the story shows about the hardship people has to go through and O Lan sad story makes this one of the best book I have ever read.

Earwig and the Witch

Sorry about my late post I finished already but forgot to publish it by mistake anyway last week I've read a short story by Diana Wynne Jones this is her final book while I hope her final book would be more longer and aimed for teens but I guess she didn't had anytime left.Earwig and the Witch is a short story published in 2011.

The good
.Nice(or should I say funny)illustration.
.I really like Earwig.
.Really nice cover.

the bad
.While I know it is a short book written for kids I really hoped it could be longer.

Quick summary(This is going to be a really short summary since the book is reall short)
Earwig loves the orphanage house every one there do everything she says even the adults so one day when she is adopted by a witch and forces her to do chores she is not happy.................Preety short summary isn't it.

The conclusion
Earwig and the witch is a book aimed for kids generally it is short and filled with illustration so anyone who is looking more than 30 minute of read can forget about but for the Diana Wynne Jones fans(like me)will want to buy the book to savor the last book from her.

Mary Quinn:The Traitor and The Tunnel

Hello everybody I'm sorry for the late post I was really busy with my studies and all anyway you came here to read my review not my life story so I'll just stop writing about me I guess.As you all might had guess I read Mary Quinn:The Traitor and The Tunnel it is the third book of the series and it is written by Y S Lee and published in 2011.

The good
.The story has a more interesting premise than the second book.
.To me the characters develops more than the first two book.

The bad
.To me the mystery feeling disappeared a little.
.I didn't quite like the ending.

Quick summary
Mary is assigned to investagate who keeps stealing antique at the palace so she works there as a maid there she finds out that the prince's friend is dead and the killer might be her long lost father and that James will be working at the palace.She quickly goes to warn James no to blow her cover if he sees her at the palace but ...........................That is all I guess

The conclusion
While the thord book makes the characters more developed amd has a more interesting premise than the second it is let down by the lack of mystery and a dissapointing ending however for a fan it is still aa great book to read but for the one who is expecting a bit of mystery better find another book.
