About the Author

Choosing An Author

I mainly looked at two author's work this summer. One is Agatha Christie the queen of crime writing, I watched many movies based on her best known novels about Detective Hercule Poirot. It is interesting to read from novel compare to watch it on TV (such as' the murder on the orient express', 'the murder of Roger Ackroyd') , overally descriptions of the personage's psychology are conscientious and specifically. After reading the actual book I had a better understanding of every character and more clear idea of the plot.

Agatha Christie

 I read 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' by Douglas Adams early actually. I love that book, I like how he write about the most serious thing in the universe but make it very fun to read.
