Reading recommendations


   





Dear Charlie,

It was quite a pleasure to listen to the reading reviews of the OIB 2de. Thank you!

They were all  interesting but our class top 5 are:

One Day, David Nicholls
The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, John Boyne
The Hobbit,  J.R.R Tolkien
The Help, Kathryn Stockett
The House of Sleep, Jonathan Coe

And not far behind

The Old Man and the Sea; Ernest Hemingway
Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen
Lord of the Flies, William Golding
and as you know,  the first book of our book club is
Haroun and the Sea of Stories, Salman Rushdie

If you haven't read them, do so!
Best,
Mrs. C

  5. The Old Man and the Sea seemed very interesting to me, too bad people couldn't take much more time to make a more complete analysis or express more precisely their opinion, I could have been charmed by more books..

  6. I had finished to read Haroun and The Sea of Stories faster than planned, I just got caught in the story and couldn't stop going on reading...
    I'd like to thank Judith for her book review, it was captivating too.

  7. The house of sleep looks very pertinent, I reckon it has a lot of plots twist. Lors of the Flies has an intriguing plot as well.

  11. I did like Juliette's reviews, which was so long but so cool! She makes me want to read the book!
    The Boy in The Striped Pyjamas was also well introduced by Gaetan, it seems to be an intereting story about WW 2!
