As I said, I haven't been reading a lot this year at all. Maybe about once a month, and at the 10 mins at the beginning of each English lesson is how much I read. Although I haven't been reading a lot, I have been consistently going on and reading this book called "Sold" by Patricia McCormick. It's an extremely good book to me, this is because I hate it when I open up huge books with a massive amount of writing! I will faint just looking at it. I bought this at a book shop, it caught my eye due to it's massive yellow bright colour. When I opened it, it was well-spaced with a font that I actually like ( I extraodinarily hate so much of the Arial font!)... Also, another was that each Chapter was between 1~4 pages the maximum. It's so short an extremely easy to read. That's why even the book looks likes it's impossible to read with a little amount of time, it took me this whole term with just a few minutes each day at class plus like once a month (weekend hour) read makes me finish the book very quickly.
It's a very heart-wrenching story of a girl called Lakshmi, from Nepal, who is sold into prositution at the age of 3, and kept captive in a place called the 'Happiness House', where she not only survives, against all odds, but is actually triumph and happy. Lakshmi was sold due to the poor-ness of her family and she didn't know that until she arrived at the "Happiness House" for a while. This was because her father lied to her about the truth... It is very sad how such a young girl who only JUST experienced her 1st period and already gets sold off into nightmare. Slowly, she does make more and more friends in the 'Happiness House' until a day she actually finds her own courage to face the world and fight for her own life and reclaim her own life.
It's a wonderful, eloquent and kind of a "shocking" story to read, but it is nice and simple to read (especially to such a lazy reader like me)... It is a very lovely story and therefore I rate it [About 9 out of 10] >_<
Future readers, enjoy it... Relax
