First Post

What a fine day for a fine blog! This is the first post, so don't expect anything interesting. I just read a story which is "Nothing but the truth". Although it is quite thick, you can read it within two hours or so as the story is written in the form of tables, letters and dialogues. In my opinion, it is very interesting and unique. There are many different views about the characters in the story, whether they are right or wrong. I won't tell you the story, as it is better for you to flip the pages yourself!

There is also another story is would like to recommend. It is "Lamb to the Slaughter", by Roald Dahl. You may have heard of this story before. You should read it as Roald Dahl writes the story in a way that is very unique, especially the ending of the story. It is quite a short story, and there are also many videos on YouTube about it. Roald Dahl is one of my favourite authors because he is very good in writing children books. His language is simple for children to understand, but it is also interesting, in a way. Some of his famous stories have been made into films, for example, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"!
