Anja’s Book Review
‘The Sugar Glider’ by Rod Neilsen
The story is about two pilots and the daughter of one, who transport something in their plane, but the plane has a defect and they crash. After that, they have to fight in the hot and dry part of Australia to stay alive.
Everything begins with a job offer. Paul Copeman is made an offer to fly an old plane called the Sugar Glider and pick up some stuff from a mine and fly it to Melbourne. He also needs a co-pilot and his first idea is his old friend Don Radcliffe, who since his divorce and leaving behind his teenage daughter, Judy, has been flying around the Pacific Ocean for the past year. Now he is returning to start a flying school with Paul, and to see his daughter. Maybe they will have a chance to come together again, but he meets his ex-wife and her new lover, who is a businessman, and looks deeply in love with her. But Don is glad that Judy doesn’t like him as well.
Don agrees to Paul’s offer, even though he has just come back and hasn’t the time to do anything with Judy. So Don decides to take Judy with them. They start the next morning, but then everything turns bad…
I reckon it is a good story. It is full of exciting parts. So I read it in only two hours. It wasn’t really difficult to understand.

Kevser's First Book Review - 'East 43rd Street'
East 43rd Street
East 43rd Street is a thriller about an old-fashioned private investigator whose life was absolutely changed after he saw a woman in a pub. The book is written by Alan Battersby.
The story begins with Nathan Marley sitting in McFadden’s Bar six days before Christmas. He sees a beautiful, expensively-dressed woman with huge diamonds. Marley decides to follow her but he loses her in the crowd.
But in the morning he sees her in his office, because unfortunately he had been selected by her and her husband as a fall guy for their devious plan. But he was not so stupid as they had imagined And after Mr Lam and his two bodyguards were involved in the story, everything started to change.
I found the end of the story a bit weak for this kind of book. After a lot of interesting things happened, the story finished very limply. But generally, it’s a beautifully-written book. I can recommend it to you as a good read.
