Third day of English Academic Writing Class

Hello everyone......

Have you done something useful today? and don't forget your smile :-)

On the third day, I learn how to make a simple book review. I took the MADAGASCAR book ,which the movie is also my favorite, as a source to my work.

So....please enjoy my MADAGASCAR review below this post.

Cheers,

A Book Review : MADAGASCAR

MADAGASCAR..... what are you thinking about that word?

Similar to me, probably, most of you will agree about the name of an island.

Based on that, when first I saw this MADAGASCAR book, it will tell about daily life of the animals.

This book is published by "DreamWorks" which has been success realeased many popular movies and books. Therefore, you do not have to worry about the quality of their products.

At first glance, you will find many cute and funny animal pictures in this book. They are Melman the giraffe, Gloria the hippo, Alex the lion, Marty the zebra, Fossa the lemur hunters, and the lemurs who are headed by King Julien. Particularly, I really like the King Julien Character. He is not only can sing and dance, but also very cute.

The first chapter recounts the story of  four close friends (Marty, Gloria, Alex, and Melman) who escaped from New York zoo. See how they could do that.

Next (second chapter), you will see how they can be stranded in wild island, what they found, and what happened with them in the MADAGASCAR. So...unexpected!

Finally, in the last chapter, you will see how the real close friends mean? Dramatic!

Overall, this book is very interesting.

Enjoy it............

Cheers,
