Book Review: The Secret of the Silver Lake

REVIEW: THE SECRET OF SILVER LAKE

I make a review of the book: the secret of silver lake. This book was written by Michelle Telford. Michelle Telford was born in London, England. He is married with four children. He didn’t write anymore books, “the secrets of silver lake” is his only book, and the genre of the book is adventure. Today, he lives in Manchester. I read this book because my school forced to read me. I don’t like this type of books because in my opinion are boring and silly but it have got good things. Then I talk about it.

This book tells about a really history I think. Eddie and his family spent the summer vacation at Silver Lake in the USA, in a wooden cabin next to a strange old house. Eddie met two boys called Leo and Richie who told him the story about the old house and the killer ‘Jack the Devil’ Devlin, who had once lived in the haunted house. One day they decided to go to Devlin’s haunted house. To their surprise suddenly someone appeared holding a large knife. When he saw the kids, he shouted at them. He thought that somebody had sent the boys to this house to investigate a murder that he had committed. He threatened them with his knife and warned them not to tell anybody that they had seen him. A few days later they decided to tell the police what had happened to them in the haunted house. A few weeks later the police found the man and jailed him…thanks to the boys. The characters that I liked are:

-Eddie: is a thirteen year old boy with ginger hair. He was revealed in the story as a very curious and adventurous personality. When Leo and Richie told him the story about the haunted house he asked more questions about their adventure because he was such an inquisitive boy.

- Leo: is a thirteen year old boy with blond hair. In the story he was revealed as a friendly and brave character. He behaved in very friendly way when Eddie came to Silver Lake and befriended with him. When Leo decided to enter the strange house he had a lot of courage

In the history there are more character kike the mother, the father and the brother of Eddie but are not very important.

Now I talk about my opinion of this book. I have two opinions, one positive and one negative. The positive: I really enjoyed reading this book because it’s both interesting and full of suspense. When I read the book I wanted to know what would happen next. I couldn’t stop reading it. The negative: In my opinion there is a one negative point in this book. I think that the story was too drawn out. There are many little details which aren’t necessary. These make the story both boring and uninteresting at the same parts of the story.

In general this type of books I don’t like because they haven’t got much argument to stay with intrigue and want to read more. But I have to admit this book is enjoy and funny because it had some plot although the author does
