Book review. My book report is on ‘Catcher in the Rye’ by J.D.Salinger Over a month I have really enjoyed reading this novel. It’s a very perceptive book‚ but only in one point of view: Holden’s.

English 4 28 May 2014 Safe Haven: The Review Safe Haven is a novel written by Nicolas Sparks. Like most of Mr. Sparks novels‚ it is a love story.

Penguin Books in Association with Hamish Hami‚ 2000 1 336pp.‚ £9.99‚ ISBN-10: 0141184949 “The sedge is wither’d from the lake‚ and no birds sing.” I was pleasantly surprised when I firstly opened the title page of Silent Spring.

Animal Farm I don’t know if this is truly a review for this book‚ a major reason may be that most of the people pass out of high school having read a book and written a book report too sometimes; thanks to our education system‚ somehow I skipped that complete episode. At this age‚ if I write a book review‚ it wouldn’t be fair; on the internet there is no shortage of different reviews. One more additional review is not going to make any difference; the difference lies in how and what lessons can
