More interesting than drive into danger and escape

[Abrar Alarjan · Rating 4 out of 5]

نوعا ما هذه القصة أجمل مما قرأت في أدب الجريمة لدى اكسفورد
مسلية جدًا على عكس police TV و drive into danger فلم تكن مسلية ،هذه القصة تتحدث عن كيني الذي يجول أمريكا بالحافلة ولص الذي سرق السوبر ماركت وكيف اشتبه بأمرأة تشبه اللص الذي رأه يسرق ولكنه لم يكن سوى رجل شعره اسمه اندي تنكر بملابس امرأة ولبس باروكة من أجل أن يتخفى ،وتكون هذه الفتاة ميل التي اشتبه بها مجرد امرأة تظهر في تلفاز لذلك كان وجهها مألوفًا لدى كينكي ثم تعرض عليه أن يأتي معه رحلة على دراجة حول أمريكا

Read again with my English students. Very suitable for starters, it only contains present simple and present continuous tenses but has relative clauses with a subject, omiting "that", so it has to be explained. Nevertheless, adult students like this book, they find it intriguing.

Une lecture très courte, fluide et particulièrement efficace ! Issu de la collection « Oxford Bookworms Starter », ce petit livre de 48 pages s'avère idéal pour s'immerger dans une histoire en anglais sans prise de tête.

Les illustrations de Kevin Hopgood viennent parfaitement appuyer le texte, rendant la compréhension très naturelle. L'intrigue reste prenante et dynamique malgré le format très condensé. Une excellente surprise pour une pause lecture express en VO !

No me ha gustado mucho el libro ya que es un nivel muy básico de inglés y tampoco tiene mucha historia que contarte.

What's a brave girl, she surprised me ✨️

[Linh Tran · Rating 4 out of 5]

I like the story. It's quite good. The main character thinks that he is clever and trying to solve the crime. He is lucky for not getting killed in the process.

An entertaining comic book!
