BR 18: Hulk

     Bruce is an ordinary man, but only when he gets angry, his body changes. It turns green and he is the Hulk. He has been thinking about the reason. Then, he has a problem which he doesn't remember his past at all. In the middle of this book, his father appears and talks about his family's secret. His father is crazy about the power, he is also the Hulk and wants to be the strongest man. Bruce realizes every time the Hulk gets angry, his body get bigger and bigger. His father has used him and got stronger. His thought shocks Bruce.


     This book is penguin readers series. I read MARVEL's book for the first time. As many movies show, there is a discord between Bruce and his father. This theme is one of the most important subjects in the stories. I want you to read this book.

BR 17: Freckles

And - and I love your freckles! (p.18)

     Every one must have their own complex regarding their looks or behaviors. Susie, a protagonist in this book has freckles, and she hates them all the time. Because of it, she isn't confident and good at talking with guys. In contrast, Donna, her friend has pretty hair and beautiful blue eyes and she is popular among classmates. In a sense, Donna looks down upon Susie and feels comfortable. One day,  a nice boy shows up and Donna tries to appeal to him, but he isn't interested in her because he loves Susie!! I think not every guy always like beautiful girls and some complexes are liked by them.

     This book is Penguin readers series. I think in this series, many students feels the same idea with the characters, so it's easy to understand the plot and system.
I want you to read this book.
