What I like and dislike about Pobby and Dingan

Eventually our English class started to read new book which doesn't contain the war related content and the Islamic things. Honestly, for the whole quarter period, our class went over the book and poem that has such a serious and profound topics so I was little bit getting bored with those. I am so glad to read another book that is truly enjoyable and easy to understand. And those are actually the reasons why I like this book "Pobby and Dingan".

This book is about the girl Kellyanne who has imaginary friends called Pobby and Dingan. Her mother understands her to play with them. However many people including her brother Ashmol and her father see her as a weirdo and don't understand her. I like this kind of book which talks about a young soul's pureness. It reminds me about my childhood memory. Although I didn't have imaginary friends like Kellyanne, when I read this book, I feel like I am going back to my child time. Anyway, if someone asks me that I like this book or not, I would definitely say I like this book.

This book is I think the first book that I felt easy to read. I don't fully know about this book yet because I didn't finish reading this book, but the plot was not so hard to understand and interesting. Also the words that used in this book were mostly easy that I didn't even use a dictionary when I read. If there was a word that I didn't know, I could easily guess the meaning of the word with the context though. 

I like the plot of this book so far. As I said above, it is truly enjoyable book. I am pretty sure that it took less than two hours to read sixty pages of this book. That is because I enjoyed to read it. Page turned fast than other books that I had read. Not only it has the interesting story but also it has some parts that made me think too. For example at the first of the book, Ashmol says "Things that never exist can't be dead". (Rice, 3)It made me think about it. 

I like pretty many aspects of this book but if I must have the thing that I dislike about this book, I would say the language of this book. I like the fact that it doesn't have that hard vocabulary but it is bit hard to understand slangs of Australia which uses little bit different kind of English than America. I can understand in terms of conveying vivid and actual life of Australian people and their culture. But I think there could be better way not to confuse the readers who are not from Australia. However that is just for some parts of this book. For instance "I noticed one of the blokes was holding his face...." (Rice, 42) The author used the word "bloke" for meaning the men. 

This book is the one that took my mind with its words. I didn't have hard time with it and I didn't get bored which is big deal. I said it has some words that hard to understand as a non-Australian, but still I like this book and I would highly recommend this book. By the way Mr. Huston, a Mathematic teacher, likes this book too.
