Came across Penguin Popular Classic book collection when i was "cruising" in Popular bookstore in Petaling street .Because the books were very cheap( absolute green cover,made from 100% recycled paper,therefore i couldnt stop myself from buying them...haha)
Finish my first book Grimm's Fairytale....didnt really enjoyed the stories within the collection as some i already knew and feel that it was quite boring.Heath Ledger once acted in Brother's Grimm...one of the reason i selected the book.
Moving on to the second book would be The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett.The book is reasonably readable with 27 chapters and 270 pages.No heavy-duty reading is required and it can be finished within a few days.For those who likes a bit of adventure,coupled with life lesson to be learn,then one must not missed this book.Though the Yorkshire language in this book may not in favor of my short lived attention,but it added unique color to the story.
The Secret Garden -The story started off with an unfortunate girl named Mary,unloved,became an orphan within a few days,and being forgotten.She found rays of hope when her uncle in England had taken up the responsability to take care of her.She was a child with peculiar qualities and resent human relation.Her life changing events started in her uncle's mansion where she discovered the truth that there were more to life that she never saw before.With new friends,new enviroment and new secret,her true personality began to flourish.Being changed and helping other to change for the better,perhaps is the most concise sentence to summarized this book,and i did really enjoyed reading it...Low price but good reading...:D
