My Favorite book this month

I have just read a wonderful book, it's, "Mister Pip", by Lloyd Jones. It's a story about a girl named Matilda, who lives in New Guinea, and what her life was like in the middle of a brutal civil war. The story tells how her teacher Mr. Watts, gives the gift of love of great literature to the children of the island by reading aloud to them, "Great Expectations", by Charles Dickens. Matilda's story tells how Mr Watts and Charles Dickens' book have a profound and lasting effect on her life.

Mr Jones has crafted a wonderful book, that should be read by anyone who loves great literature.

One of my favorite quotes from the book: "You cannot pretend to read a book. Your eyes will give you away. So will your breathing. A person entranced by a book simply forgets to breathe. The house can catch alight and a reader deep in a book will not look up until the wallpaper is in flames."
