This time I read the book"James and the Giant Peach." The book is illustrated by Lane Smith, and the author is Roald Dahl.
Lane Smith's visual interpretation of the characters and settings in " James and the Giant Peach." was used by Disney as the basis for the animation in the 1996 feature film.
I choose this book because my sister suggest that it is worthwhile reading— it's interesting and mysterious and I have heard the Disney animation with wonderful comments.
So far, this book have brought me entering a marvelous fantasy— about a poor orphan: little James's exciting , magical adventure! James was adopted by his two horrible aunts who treated him bad.
One day, he got a magical paper beg comprising a mass of tiny magic power crystals from a strange man. When James accidentally drops some magic crystals by the old peach tree, miraculous things start happening. The peach at the very tip of the tree begins growing, and growing....until it's as big as a house! While James crawls inside, he meets a houseful of oversized friends— Grasshopper, Centipede, Earthworm, and more.
The plot is getting more and more unbelievable and absorbing. I read it 30 minutes a day on average, and I think I can nearly work out my reading log much better than the first book. Besides, I pay attention to it much longer; in the meantime, I also feel I do more effective on it—for spending the same time, reading more pages!!
