Uh...Overdue book assignment:
George's marvelleous medicine by Roald Dahl


This story is about a boy who live with his parents and his evil grandmother in a farm.
Grandma treats him horribly with her selfish and grumpy attitude. She takes a medicine every afternoon to keep her strong. George then manage to plot of a plan to get rid of his grandmother one afternoon while his mother was out. He found all the harmful item in his house and made them all up into a 'special medicine' that he gives it to his grandmother. Unexpectedly, his grandmother grew and her head crashed through the roof after taking the medicine. Being as tall as their house she did not freaked out but was glad that it all happened for she had been stucked in the house. When George's parents came back, they were shocked to find out that his Grandmother was so tall. George's father fed the medicine to his chicken and it grew about 10 the size of itself.
George's father tried to get the formular for the medicine so that he can become rich but no matter how hard George thinks he cannot remember all the ingredients as he just dumped in whatever he saw. But the other medicine did made his grandmother shrink but she was so small then she could not be found. They all lived happily ever after...

I will NOT recommend this book as it is gross and it is not really possible to a big chicken and grandmother,it teaches children bad thing too(how to get revenge on other people you dont like).Also the ending 'the grandmother shrunk but was nowhere to be seen' was ...disturbing because George's plot somehow worked out after all (without using the main plot). So this book is kind of weird...

lixian :P

Eh, 7th to post, &overdue. Oh well...

Title: Rage of Angels
Author: Sidney Sheldon (Yes, it's a male.)

The story revolves around a girl named Jennifer who, on her first day as a lawyer, makes a devestating mistake that ends her short career.

Undeterred, she sets up her own small private law firm, in a building which she shares with a detective, whom Jennifer suspects to be gay.

After many successful cases, thanks to her out-of-the-box thinking, Jennifer can finally afford a large office all to herself.

Meanwhile, she gets involved with a man whom she met during the short span of her gig as a lawyer. Specifically, a married man.

Subsequently, she moves ahead on her career track, stirring up the attention of the local mafia, while feelings develop between herself and the married man, whom she kept in touch with and confided in.

Then, just when everything seems smooth sailing, she gets mysterious calls from an anonymous person.

Over the course of the next few months, she becomes a tool of the mafia, abeit an indispensable one, and in her pursuit of power as an attorney, she risks everything she knows and loves.

Without a doubt my favourite character is Jennifer, overlooking her bloodthirsty attitude in the courtroom. She is portrayed to be a cool and calm person, a quality which I highly value in a person.

I highly recommend this book. But you do need alot of time to digest it, its a 500page tome. Even if you have A.D.H.D, your total attention will be focused on this book.

Yeah, well. I'm done.
