Until I arrived at Level 6 Graded Readers, I have realized that I don't like the novels which are the stage of class society in England, like wealth families with some servants. Therefore, when I noticed that this story also included in it, I hesitated whether I should continue to read. In addition, thought stopping reading this story when entering the Part 2 because the words of the narration are difficult to understand it. But I continued to read it to learn English.

This story seemed to mention that "it was the first, the longest and best of modern English detective novels". As the words, but it makes us feel enjoying who is the criminal and where the Moonstone is.

Hated it. Although it was a well written book which was easy and fast to read, the story was way to boring and it didn't make me want to continue reading
