The No.1 Ladies’ Detective Agency
This book talks about Mma Ramotswe. She has opened the No.1 Ladies’ Detective Agency in Botswana where she lives so she has become a private detective and her agency is the best one.
I’ve enjoyed this book so much.
Firstly, she’s a very honest person and she does her job very well, she helps everyone even if they are poor.
Secondly, in Botswana there were a lot of bad things which she has stopped. For example, there is one boy who was missing for a long time and his parents did everything to find their son, but they didn’t find him. When they told her about their son, she did everything to find the boy. A lot of things like this happened in Botswana and she did her best to find out what had happened.
Now in Botswana if someone has got a problem they should go to the police station but they go to see her instead because she can solve their problem much more quickly than the police.
I would like all detectives to be like her, nice and clear and to help as much as they can.

Fode's Book Review No.2 - A Tale of Two Cities
A Tale of Two Cities
This book talks about France and England and how much the people suffered in France in the eighteenth century.
In France there was a king and a queen and in England there was a king and queen. The problem was they believed that nothing would ever change. In France the people were poor, hungry and unhappy and they couldn’t say nor do anything.
This book talks about France and England and how much the people suffered in France in the eighteenth century.
In France there was a king and a queen and in England there was a king and queen. The problem was they believed that nothing would ever change. In France the people were poor, hungry and unhappy and they couldn’t say nor do anything.
Then began the French revolution and the rich aristocracy were being sent to the guillotine so they decided to escape to England and became emigrants. These emigrants particularly suffered because the new law of France stated that all emigrants must die. They were taken to the prison for nothing and most of them were sent to the guillotine. They couldn’t see their parents nor write them a letter.
There was one man called Darnay who went to England to work and got married with a Frenchwoman. When he came back from England to France, they took him to the prison because they thought he was an emigrant so he spent many years in prison for nothing.
One day he had been questioned by judges because they wanted to condemn him to death but he explained to them why he had gone to England.
If you want to find out what happens to Darnay, you will have to read the book.
It’s really interesting to read this book because you can learn a lot of things about France and how France was many years ago.

Li's Book Review No.1 - The Smuggler
The Smuggler.
It’s a really interesting and cliff-hanging novel which talks about two gangs of smugglers and police. I enjoyed reading it again & again to really absorb some episodes in it. The plot of this novel is rather complicated and unpredictable. There are many peaks in this novel. Even I was sweating when I read it…
A 3000-year-old Egyptian gold head in the museum went missing! Harker had written a poem before he was killed. But he wasn’t a poet. He was a smuggler, a shrewd smuggler. He left a message in that poem. Another smuggler, Ezra, and his men, and even Inspector Roland wanted to get the poem, because the poem was about the place where the gold head had been hidden. But the mysterious poem was in Fame’s hand. Fame was also a smuggler who crossed the frontier many times a week by car. Ezra & the police thought Fame was the only man who could understand the poem and work out the message in it. So they wanted to capture him!
In fact, Fame wasn’t so interested in the gold head. He just wanted to continue his smuggling business and find out the truth of Harker’s death. He used his intelligence to fight against his enemies. At last, He escaped from his captives successfully and discovered the treasure! At that time, a gun was pointing at the back of Fame’s head, the gun was in Ezra’s hand......
It isn’t a cruel ending. As my favorite character in the novel, I wouldn’t want Fame to die.
To find the ending, read the book. You’ll also encounter someone’s greed and Fame’s intelligence, bravery & probity. In my opinion, doing an illegal job doesn’t definitely mean being a bad person. We need professional morals & righteous character, even in an illegal job like smuggling. And teamwork is also very important. If Fame hadn’t had those two good workmates, he wouldn’t have been so fortunate.
At the end of the novel, you may smile or laugh, for the delightful ending & the interesting truth; for smart Fame and the foolish customs officers.
