This book has a good moral value to everyone.The Wind in the Willows follows several animals throughout their adventures in the English countryside. Because now i'm reading contemporary YA novel, for you-who start reading english books-i prefer you start with YA novel because it has easier words and the words/vocabulary used are daily conversation.
But in my opinion, this book has a lot of difficult words for a beginner like me. And of course, because i'm a beginner, everytime i found words that i don't understand, i searched it on my dictionary and wrote it on my notebook xD.įor the story itself, this book sure can entertain readers from kids till adult readers. But after 30 or 50 pages, i started to know the story itself. I start to read in english because yeah, can i say that it's interesting to read in english?Īt first 10 pages, i still don't know what the author wants to tell me. But honestly i'm not dissapointed at all! And whoa, because i'm not used to read in english, it was like 'trouble' for me to read english book. First of all, i'd like to say that it's my first experience reading english book.
