Mario Puzo “The Godfather”

 “The Godfather” is one of the best pieces of literature ever written and the most interesting novel that I have ever read. Mario Puzo described the mysterious and powerful world of American Mafia, which was controlled by a few originally Italian Families. He told the story of the Family Corleone, an Italian immigrant who went from poverty in Little Italy to create one of the Five Families of New York, especially of don Corleone and his four children, Sonny, Fred, Connie and Michael. The most enjoyable character was the hot-tempered Santino Corleone, better known as “Sonny.” He was so real and interesting to me. Sonny made many thoughtless decisions that led to his death…..

 I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes thriller novels.

Ich möchte über ein Buch erzählen. Es hat mir viel Spaß  gemacht, dieses Buch zu lesen. Der Autor erzählt über Helen und ihre Familie: Mutter, Vater und Großvater. Der Leser erfuhr viele lustige Situationen aus dem Leben dieser Familie. Wir erlebten zusammen mit den Haupthelden Glück und Leid. Wir lachten zusammen mit Helen, als sie ihrem Großvater die Großmutter ihrer Freundin vorstellte. Wir fühlten ihre Verzweiflung, als sie eines Tages in der Schule Schmach hatte.
Der Autor zeigte die Beziehung zwischen einem Großvater und seiner Enkelin. Es ist sehr interessant, dass sie zu zwei verschiedenen Generationen gehören, aber sie verständigen sich mit einander. Die Enkelin es zieht öfter vor, sich mit ihren Problemen an ihren Großvater zu wenden, und nicht an ihre Eltern.
 Ich empfehle Ihnen dieses Buch zu lesen.

Sandra Brown "Smoke Screen"

A few words about detective story I recommend to read. When newswoman Britt Shelley wakes up to find herself in bed beside Charleston PD detective Jay Burgess, she remembers nothing of how she got there – or how he wound up dead. Burgess was one of four heroic city officials who risked their lives five years earlier to lead others to safety from a catastrophic fire. His lifelong friend, Raley Gannon, was later assigned to investigate. But Raley never finished the inquiry because one calamitous night his career was destroyed by scandal. Now the newswoman whose biased reporting helped bring about Raley’s downfall might be his only chance to vindicate himself and get justice for the fire’s victims. But the more Raley and Britt discover about that fateful day, the more perilous their situation becomes, until they’re not only chasing the truth but running for their lives.

Rich Cohen "Lake Effect"

Raised in an affluent suburb on the North Shore of Chicago, Rich Cohen had a cluster of interesting friends, but none more interesting than Jamie Drew. Fatherless, reckless and lower middle class in a place that wasn’t, Jamie possessed such an irresistible insouciance and charm that even the teachers called him Drew-licious. Through the high school years of parties and Cub games and girls, of summer nights on the beach and forbidden forays into the blues bars of Chicago’s notorious South Side, the two formed a lasting bond. Even after Cohen went to college in New Orleans (Jamie went to Kansas) and then moved to New York, where he had a memorable interlude with the legendary New Yorker writer Joseph Mitchell, Jamie remained oddly crucial to his life. Exquisite and taut, Lake Effect is a bittersweet coming-of-age story that quietly bores to the essence of friendship and how it survives even as it is destined to change.

Rich Cohen has taken the everyday stuff of life and made it joyously readable. The mundane becomes richly evocative in his hands. The usual becomes unusual, the boring becomes interesting, the sweet becomes bittersweet and Lake Effect becomes the proverbial book you can’t put down.

What to Read This Summer

Ken Follett “The Pillars of the Earth”

It is a story of a British family that built Cathedrals in England. What made the book for me were the characters. The characters were interesting and complex There were the monk, the young woman, the builder and I felt that they were like a real persons As you read this book, you get to know Tom, his family and the lives of each member. The storyline was captivating and exciting.

Also I loved the love stories in it. I loved Tom and Ellen's story most of all. It was sad that it happened so quickly after Agnes but it became so like as if they were meant to be together. This love story is intriguing and captivating
A marvelous and exciting novel.
