نوعا ما فهمت القصة ولكنني لم افهم ماذا يريد الكاتب أن يرمي بهذه الاحداث
الأحداث أيضا غير مفهومة اسبابه وأشعر بأنها مُفتعلة أيضا

This is the first book I read it in English. It was an amusing story. The story begins when Bill drives the big red car and sees something on the road. I loved it.

I bought this book for my little sister, her English is so weak that's why I choose "Starter" level.
Anyway, I was bored and I decided to read the book, the book has 26 pages approximately the rest are activities.

The story supposed to be Fantasy, Horror. But, it made me laugh so hard the story is kinda funny.
I believe it would be interesting for starters.
After all the purpose of reading this book is to learn the language.

I highly recommend this kind of books as "gifts" if you know someone who is interested in learning the language, it's written in very easy way and it's understandable.

I read this beginner english book just to read something in english. But surprisingly, the plot of the book was quite interesting. If you are just starting to learn English, you can try to read this book.

Başlangıç seviye bu ingilizce kitabı açıkçası sadece ingilizce bir şey okumak için okudum. Ancak şaşırtıcı bir şekilde kitabın konusu oldukça ilginçti. İngilizce öğrenmeye yeni başlıyorsanız, bu kitabı okumayı deneyebilirsiniz.

I cannot understand this story.

[Linh Tran · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'm not so sure what I think about this book. It is a strange story. I will have to reread it again. There are some loose ends.
