Hi,

I've just bought a new book. It's called Notes from a Small Island. It's a travel book, so it's non-fiction. I thought it might be a bit dull, but my mum read it first and told me it was very interesting. Actually, it's very fascinating at times. It makes me laugh, which I like. Paperback books are cheap and easy to carry. The blurb on the back says the author is American but he finds the United Kingdom funny and has lived there for a long time. I haven't read the book you suggested yet. It's next on my list. The picture on the front cover looks a bit scary. Did you find it frightening? I hope not!!
