Sound And Music

 In concert halls, the walls are not flat. They are usually made of different panels. The sound bounces in different ways so there's no echo.(p.15)

I belong to brass band club and I like music very much. As you know, music gives us good effects in some ways. This book tell us the things related to sound and music. For example, physics, structures of sound, instruments, music in the world and so on. My favorite part is instruments in the world. In India, there is a Sitar which is very long and has many strings. You should read this and know more about music!

    I have read this book, too! This was interesting and made me interested in many musical instruments I did not know.

Mystery in London

イメージ
"You are sitting in your house in London, one cold November evening. There is a knock at the door. It is Inspector Freewell of the London police." (p. 1)   It's 1898, and you are a detective in London. You are asked for help to arrest the Whitechapel killer, who has killed six women and another woman recently. You started a search, but there are many options. Who will you ask and which place will you go? Can you arrest him?  Mystery in London is a detective story, and readers can choose action in this book. And your decision will change the story. I made it through to reach a good ending at once, but if you choose the wrong way, the ending won't be fine. I enjoyed reading it. Brooke, H. (2007). Mystery in London.  Oxford University Press.

L.A. Detective

イメージ
"Len says, 'I don't like you, Blane. I don't want your money. But Carmen is in trouble. She needs help. I'll help her.'" (p. 7)  Lenny Samuel is an L.A. detective. One day a man called Frank came to his office and he took Len to Mr. Blane by force. Mr. Blane is a rich and also a bad man. Recently, his daughter, Carmen has been kidnapped and the suspect demanded a ransom, so he asked Len to save Carmen. Len doesn't like Mr. Blane, but he agreed to help his daughter.   This book is the story of a detective, and I was surprised to the story. In the end, the position of client and suspect exchanged. In fact, the suspect is a very nice person, and the kidnapping was the plan to punish Mr. Blane. I felt it was a short but good story. Prowse, P. (1993).  L.A. Detective . Macmillan Heinemann ELT.

The Red-headed League

イメージ
"As a rule," said Holmes, "the stranger a thing seems the less mysterious it really is. It is your ordinary crimes which are really mysterious, just an ordinary face is the most difficult to identify." (p. 40)    One day, a red headed-man visited to Holmes's office. He asked him to detect the mysterious organization, "the red-headed league". The client was the member of it, but the league has closed suddenly. As Holmes surveyed this accident, he revealed that this relates to the big crime.  This is the story of Sherlock Holmes. This may be the first time that I read Holmes, but I enjoyed it, and I felt this story is very serious. I wondered that other Holmes's book are also like this story, so I want to read them more.
