A suspense
In France, a secret organization plans to assassinate the French president. Their leader, Colonel Marc Rodin, decides to hire a professional, someone unknown to French police. He and his men choose the Jackal. It was duty for police detective to stop him.
It is 1963 and the Secret Army Organization (OAS) want to assassinate General de Gaulle, the French president. They hire a professional assassin, a tall, cold Englishman who calls himself "the Jackal" who agrees to kill the president for half a million dollars. However, through one small twist of fate, the French authorities heard of this plot, and set Claude Lebel, their best detective to find The Jackal.
I really would recommend this book, because the chase by Claude Lebel and Jackal’s escaping are very speedy. So it may be very interesting for you. Furthermore, they passed many place in Europe, so you may also imagine some European scenery.
However, you'll see some unknown proper nouns. Therefore it may make you difficult to understand.

This story described how Adeline Yen Mah lived her life. Her life was full of hardships although she was working hard. She was given unkindness from some of her family and treated cruelly.Even though she was in a difficult situation, she hoped that she would be the member of her family.
She wanted her father to be proud of her, but he were not however hard she studied.
Her stepmother felt something repugnant about her and treated her cruelly. Her father said nothing about it. She had to follow them. If she did not, she was punished. She always felt sad; however, her hope finally came true.
I would really recommend this book. This story told the truth about Adeline. I could not believe what happened to her at first, but I was impressed with her strong spirit reading the book. I think that words in the book are easy to understand and that it would not take a long time to finish reading.

This is a sad and historical story
1.Love, sadness and indipendence were key words on this book. Whatever happend to our lives, we could have a hope if there were people who love and loved. Indipendence sometimes caused sadness and lonliness, althogh if we have storong will we could get them over.
2.Adeline was the main character in this book and she spend hard time in China and also by her family. Because her mother passed away after she was born, her familly thought she brought bad luck to them. What she hoped the most is love. She wanted to loved by people especially from her father. In order to do that, she always got high score on her exams and she became a doctor as her dad expected to her.
I would you recommend this book because there were lots of information which I didn't know about Chinese history, customs and even Japanese soldiers. It will be a good oppotunity to think what we had done to China and how love important to our lives is.
