هي امتع قصة قرأتها لأكسفورد ،عن الكفاح والسعي لنجاح والتشبث بالحياة ،تتحدث هذه القصة عن مايك مصور لايرضي رئيسيه عمله فيضطر بعد رؤيته لخبر عن بركان في جزر هواوي أن يذهب ويصور فليما ويصور ولكنه يرى امرأة كسرت ساقها فيساعدها ويستخدم التربود أي العصا التي توضع عليها الكاميرا وينفذها ولكن الكاميرا تصوره بعد سقوطه منه ، ثم تأتي طائرة وتأخذهما بعيدًا ولكن لم ينسى الكاميرا صديقته القديمة فيبحث من أتى بالطائرة عن كاميرته وتنتهي القصة بنهاية سعيدة مفتوحة

ربما كانت التعابير عن الخطر والكفاح بسيطة غير معقدة ولكن المهم ما وصل لي وانا أقرأها

It's because of the University's Lazy Staff that i read this book .. they didn't find the books i was looking for; and i didn't want to go home without a book , so i just choose that "interesting title" and got it ..
is it a story for childs ? it seems so :3 with plenty of Drawings .. it's not my kind of books, but i'm happy for Mike for not missing his Last Chance .. few people are as Lucky as him ..

It was an interesting book. We don't know when can we work for own target and when for other person's life. It's depending on my habitation and situation.
