’Anita and Me’ by Meera Syal

BOOK REPORT Title & author of the book: 'Anita and Me' by Meera Syal The setting of the book? The story resolves around Meena Syal, the daughter of the only Punjabi family in the Midlands' mining village of Tollington. The novel provides a vision of British childhood in the 1960s, a childhood caught between two cultures, each on the brink of enormous change. Meena is desperate to fit in with the other children in her neighbourhood while forever feeling like an outsider because she is "different". Eventhough the Punjabi family is well respected by the locals, there are still sutations when they have to deal with racism. Plot summary (NB!

Agatha Christie - The Moving Finger

person. The Moving Finger was one of Christie's favourite books, and in her autobiography she recalls the experience of writing it during the difficult time of the Second World War. ''It is a great test to re-read what one has written some seventeen or eighteen years later. One's view changes. Some do not stand the test of time, others do.'' The moving Finger has successfully been adapted for television, firstly in 1985 and the latest film in 2006, starring James D'Arcy as Jerry, Talulah Riley as Megan and Emilia Fox as Joanna, as seen on previous pictures. My opinion: I enjoyed reading it, though I found it difficult to follow all the characters, they got mixed up a lot. But they were believable and the reader can relate to each one. I didn't like the stalling before the exciting parts, which were the murders and the revealing of the murderer. I often got
