Summary:
Jake is eighteen. It is his first time in London and he goes to the Notting Hill carnival. He sees a beautiful girl on the first float; she sees him too. He thinks he’s in love with her. He follows her and is able to speak to her. Her name is Maria. He finds a camera on a cafe table and takes it to get a photo of her. But he loses her float and has to run off with it. The owner of the camera and a policeman chase him. Jake finds Maria, takes a photo and says sorry to the owner for taking the camera. The policeman takes Jake to the police station. He asks Jake what he has in his pocket. Jake shows him the photo of Maria. There is a surprise. A policewoman walks in. It is Maria!

Final review:
The love at first sight and the reckless stealing elements of the book are off-putting, however, the ending is pleasantly surprising.

very very simple.

Kezdő angolosoknak kiváló. Pár szót és kifejezést nem értettem csak, azokat kikerestem. A történet olyan amilyen,de egy alsós olvasókönyvben sem filozófiai értekezések vannak.

It's a simple and basic story which isn't well done.

[Russischergeist · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked the book. It has a lot of performances that are continuing as opposed to the book "April in Moscow". The examples of sentences can really make a difference in the application of present indefinite and present continuing.

Me sorprendió que pude leer tan fácilmente este libro con mis pocos conocimientos de inglés, solo tuve que buscar la traducción de unas pocas palabras.
La historia no me pareció la gran cosa, aunque el final fue un poco inesperado

[Ilearnenglish · Rating 1 out of 5]

This level was too easy, and the story annoying.
