This book has 55 pages and 1600 basic words.
Actually this book has three different stories inside it. Firstly "Used in Evidence", then "The Emperor" and "There Are No Snakes in Ireland".
"Used in Evidence" - It is about building a new shopping centre in Mayo Road. One man doesn't want to leave his house and police makes him leave. The workers find a dead woman body. Mr Larkin is charged with the murder of his wife but it appears that the dead woman isn't Mr Larkin's wife dead body. At the end of book Mr. Larkin smiles and it isn't said why but if you read book then you can guess it.
"The Emperor" - Is about two workers of Midland Bank. Roger Murgatroyd and John Higgins were the Midland Bank's Employees of the Year. They are rewarded with a holiday to Mauritius with their family. John doesn't have family and Roger has a wife they had been married for twenty-five years and Edna is always complaining about something. Before the end of holiday John tells to Roger to come with him to fishing. After long hours of fighting with fish Roger catches a marlin the Emperor of sea and releases it. In the end Roger stays to Mauritius.
"There Are No Snakes in Ireland" - Is about Indian student who wanted a job for summer holiday. But the foreman is cruel to Ram and gives him always the hardest and dangerous jobs. At on point Ram is so angry and flies back to India to buy a Indian Viper and bring is to Ireland to put it near foreman. At the end the foreman dies and snake was taking care of her babies.
I liked all of them because every story has something to say.
I don't know if i recommend this book to classmates or not. It's their decision if they want to read it or not. I can't tell them to read it or not to read it.
The book rate is in middle of good and fair. I can't say it was really good but fair is not enough.
This book was actually easy to read.
Good on yer! = Good on you! When Australian says this he means, "You are clever person!" or " You have done that well!"
"Used in Evidence" You can't always get away with the bad thing that you have done, they hunt you down someway.
"The Emperor" There is a limit how much one person can take in. At one point when the limit is crossed that person is like living bomb. Then you say all the things what have bothered you they may be really old.
"There Are No Snakes in Ireland" All bad that you do comes back to you. It is never ending circle.
