Hello again,
As I mentioned in "Coming Attractions" I recently finished reading "By the Pricking of my Thumbs" by Agatha Christie. It follows Mrs. Tuppence Beresford and her husband through the solving of an ages old mystery. But when Thomas (Tuppence's husband) is away on important government business and Tuppence is left to investigate on her own she digs too deep and ends up in trouble. Will she get out of it?
This book is a wonderful book, from start to finish it has you wondering what will happen next and how Tuppence will get out of the situations she finds herself in. Mopre imprtantly it leaves you wanting more. Not just from Tuppence and Thomas but from Christie herself.
It all starts after Thomas' Aunt Ada dies and Tuppence goes on a quest to return a painting she had to its original owner. From there it's a roller coaster of travel and mystery for Tuppence, who gets into a heap of troouble but bothing she can't deal with. If you like the mystery Genre or classic novels you'll want to read thuis book, especially if you're a fan of Agatha Christie. I found it riveting and engaging the whole way through (Well, there was one chapter where she switched focus from Tuppence to Thomas and it was a little confusing but when she went back to Tuppence it all made sense). I highly reccomend that you read this book.
Sorry to cut the review short today but there's really not much to say. As always your feedback and book suggestions are welcome in the comments below and I will try my level best to review everything that you suggest (that'll be easier now that I'm off for the summer and I don't have classes). So please suggest books for me to read, or movies for me to watch, I'm open to doing some movie reviews as well (You'll recall that in "Coming Attractions", my last post, I mentioned that I was going to see Captain America: The Winter Soldier and was going to do a review).
That's all for me today folks, as always your feedback is very welcome and any and all book suggestions will be read and reviewed in due time (I have to FIND the book and reasd it before I can review it, most of the time it's finding it that's the trouble.) I hate to cut this one short but my German exam beckons. In the mean time keep reading, writing and yes, watching movies.
TTFN!
