Two weeks of school has passed in a flash. I am now in Secondary two this year and will have to work extra hard to get into the subject combination I want I Secondary 3. Thus, I have driven myself into an “all work no play” mindset. Finally, I had some spare time yesterday after completing all my homework. I had nothing to do for a while but suddenly remembered that I bought a book, (The Lost Symbol) during the holidays but had not touched it. I immediately went to find it. There it was, in my bookshelf, plastic wrapping still intact without a trace of disturbance. Without hesitation I tore apart the plastic wrapping and begin reading the book.  And I felt that I hit the jackpot. The book captivated my attention from page one. I realized that I could not put the book down from that moment on. I had to bring it everywhere! The storyline only got better and better from there. There were many twists and turns in the plot. For example, there was one point where the main character was thought as dead but there was more to it than that. It was made also made better by the story set over 24 hours, thus making it action-packed as everything was moving at a very fast pace. I kept reading and reading. The English used was extremely good and I picked up many phrases from it, which I diligently went to find the meaning and recorded down. As I flipped to the last page, I took a look at my clock. To my surprise, it was 10 PM already! I started reading the book at 4PM thus I had read it for a whole six hours! However, as I was preparing to go to bed, I had only one thing in mind. I have to buy or borrow the entire series of books written by this author!
