The book which lives in my soul

Maybe everything is too incredible, maybe everything is too ridiculous. But when you are thinking in this way, you just can’t help but keep reading it.

Why do this series named “A to Z mysteries”? It is because the books’ titles in this series were all set in two words that have the same alphabet begin. For instance “Absent Author”, have double A in the title! There are twenty-six books in this series just match to twenty-six alphabets, really amazing right?

A to Z mysteries is exactly that kind of book. I really like this series since I was little. Thinking bold and imaginative with three main characters:Dink, Josh and Ruth Rose is amazing. Getting myself into the story to find out suspicious point, looking mere carefully at every single person or thing we met in the book, doubting he or she the suspect? Every time when I am how smart the inference I have made is, then boom! The end is always not the same. The book “Absent Author” is talking about a famous mysterious hovel writer who has been kidnapped. Three main characters start to make a painstaking investigation. With the mood of approaching the answer closer and closer, my heart beat quickly ups and downs with the plot. Why didn’t the writer, Wallis Wallace, appear at a book signing affair? Why did the cleaner said that there was no one live in room 303, but actually writer lives there? So many questions popped into my mind, twisted and tangled. I turned pages more and more quickly, less and less the pages are left, and finally heart beat mere quickly with the coming of the end of the story. What a Surprise! The “kidnapped” was actually Wallis Wallace arranged.

Every time I finish reading this novel, I feel like I had taken a fantastic mysterious adventure and I am a detective. Maybe the story isn’t as soul-stirring as Sherlock Holmes, and maybe it isn’t as gorgeous as Arsene Lupin. But I love its materials, which is getting from our daily life. The main characters are three ordinary kids just like us, no extremely high IQ and do not have any special super power either. All of these let me feel closer to the story and make me enjoy the naive things, during the adventure. This book is not too thick and neither too difficult to read, but the unexpected plot caught the craving for adventure that hind deeply in my soul. I have seen many detective novels before, so at first I thought this book might be same as that I seen before. But really, a great book does not need too much graceful modification or any famous people’s recommendation. What all about is when you finish reading, there will be a smile on your face, that’s it.

This evening, sun shined beautifully over the sky, the breeze came across my face softly, I walked out the bookstore with a novel in my hand. What a lovely day!
