The Dark Side of The City

He put a dead mouse in the tank. The snake moved quickly and took the animal in its mouth.
-
I read The Dark Side of The City. This story is also mystery.. However the start of story was so interesting for me. The first was the man met funny people in his nearest station. For example the man who have a snake, the lady who asked him that choose her son's birthday present. I thought these enes were interested. However, after that, the story went to mystery. So I was bored..

Apollo's Gold

It began with a vist to the doctor. 'You need a holiday,' the doctor told me. 'You need a rest.'
-
I read Apollo's Gold. The story is adventure and mystery. First, a lady said she should rest. So she went a island and met a lot of mens. One day, they got caught a trouble. I thought,at first, this story was a adventure or a little love story. However it wasn't. After knowing that, my motivation of reading disappeared. I should look for better story!

Ten Long Years

The name's Nat Marley and I'm a new York private investigator. Before that, I was a cop - an NYPD police officer.
-
I read Ten Long Years. I thought this book was mystery. A man met another man by chance. He looked very kind. However he changed by alcohol. And the murder happened. I felt human was very strange. If the appearance of them was very good, they may have another character. This book told me that.

Jojo's story

Everything is dead, so why not days, too? Yes. No more days. No more Thursdays. There's only now.And there's only me.
-
I read Jojo's story. I can't express this story well. This story's main character, Jojo, lost everything. He lost his family, friend, and more. He is only alive in his country. After that he went orphan. A lot os things happened in there. After all, he became a soldier. I was impressed the biggining of the story. He talked with alone. In other words, he talked to himself. He wanted to die and go to his family. However he didn't want to die. I was moved to his waver feeling.

New Yorkers

'Jim,' she cried. 'Don't look at me like that. I sold my hair because I wanted to give you a present. It will be long again.
-
I read New Yorkers. This is five short stories by O. Henry. I like first story the best. It's about a poor couple. The wife cut and sold her beautiful hair to earn money and give her husband a great present. However, he looked shocked after her haircut. It was because he would give her a beautiful combs. I thought it is sad but very heartful story. Their think each other. I was so moved.

Good Wives

-

'I love you very much. Will you marry me?' 'Yes, dear Laurie,' replied Amy. 'One day, I will marry you.'
-
I read Good Wives. This story has four sisters' story. It looks like 'Shokojo' in Japan, I think. One of the sister dead in the middle of it. Another one married soon. The rest of two girls were especially impressed for me. One of the two is Jo. She is loved by Laurie who is her best friend. However he damped. After it, he went to Paris, and met another sister, Amy. He talked about Jo, and he has come to like her more and more, almost immediately, he confessed her and asked to marry. So they married. I can't understand why he changed his feeling!
