The woman who dissapeared by Philip Browse


In my opinion "the woman who disapeared" written by Philip Browse level 4 to 5 is absolutely interesting to read, is a police story.It´s an adventure story and I love adventures story, like tho hound of the baskervilles or the sign of four.
It is about a new policewoman (private investigator)that she was exclouded from the police, because she was a very nervous girl ,in a bank she killed 5 people, and his father the sargeant takes her put from the police, her name was Mary Jackson.

Genís Lama Montosa 3rd D.
"Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley.
This book is a level three to four book of Oxford Bookworms Library.
I think that this story is really easy to understand althougt it has many expressions quite difficult, but the idea is relatively easy.
Maybe, the most difficult part to understand of the book is the message that the writer would like transmit. I say that because there is a subliminal message to tell. Not only the lonely that the Frankenstein's monster suffer for the treatment that he recives.
I think that Mary Shelley would also like to explain the cruelty of the women and the men.
She protests against the prejudices that the society has since the begining of times.

Frankenstein is a very good fantasy and horror staory and I have remained very pleased. I knew the story but I prefer the books instead of the film, but because this is a little adaptation of the real book and it is so short for me.
It is about an university student who fell ina hole which he will never can escape.
"I have created a monster" -said Victor Frankenstein-.
Victor Frankenstein creates a monster after give him life, because Frankenstein's monster needs love and anyone gives him this feeling, all the people try to hurt him.
So the Frankenstein's monster learns very quickly how to hate and immediatly soon he learns how to kill.
The Frankenstein's monster converts the life of his creator in a martyrdom killing the members of his family and his best friend, because Victor Frankenstein die in the boat of a captain who finds Victor lost in the ice, and his creation-the Frankenstein's monster- loses in the darkness.

I recommend you this book because iy will wrap you in proportion that you are reading.
I have read all the book because I liked it from the begining to end.
