a 27-year-old girl named Titania. Titania is an Indonesian girl who lives in the U.S.. Cultural

To Catch a King

Book Title : To Catch a King

Author : Harry Patterson
Publisher : Hutchinson, London
Date Publisher : 1979 Number of Pages: 222 pages
Genre : Legend
This novel tells about a Jewish girl who named Fraulin Hannah Winter. She born in Berlin but
when she was a child her father brought her to New York. She was a singer. The other main
character is Walter Schellenberg. He was a major-general of police in Lisbon. The story based on
history of World War II 1940. The issue of this novel is about a plan to kidnapping David or
usually called as The Duke of Windsor. He was a major-general in France who wanted to be a
governor of Bahamas.
The interesting point in this novel is Hannah who only an ordinary person had to against a major-
general of police to save The Duke. Actually she was not an agent, but her uncle who he was a
Russia Agent needed her helping to send a report of kidnapping plan to The Duke in France. But
the part that made me confusing in this novel is about the politic problem between Nazi Party
and other capital in Europe. Also, I dislike with the part when her uncle, Max Winter, was joined
her in this problem. Hannah as an ordinary person, it would be dangerous to her. In my opinion if
I could change the story, Max Winter must solved this problem professionally. He could send the
report with other Russia Agent, not Hannah.
I don’t have any experience that related with this story. But I ever read an article about World
War II. From this novel I can imagine how their life is. Many Jew people had been killed in
Holocaust tragedy. It’s very frightened. While I was reading this novel, I was excited with how
Hannah struggling to help his uncle. Although his uncle had been kill and dead, she still struggle
to send the report.

Publisher : Casssel & Collier Macmillan Publisher, London 35 Red Lion Square
Date published : 1979 Number of pages : 511
Genre : Romance, Detective

The main characters in this novel are Sharon Field as a famous sexy actress in America that has 4
fanatic fans; Adam Malone, Kyle Shively, Leo Bruner and Howard Yost. They had a dream to
making love with her but in condition Sharon did it sincerely without any pressure. They made a
plan to kidnap her. After they had kidnapped her, Kyle, Leo, and Howard raped her. Only Adam
that didn’t do it because he is a kind man and keep his promise. It’s the interesting behavior in
this novel. But, the part make me confusing is in the end of this story when police didn’t check
the place where she had kidnapped so Adam wasn’t be jailed.
I dislike with their plan of kidnapping because it is big crime. As a fan we just like our idol
normally, don’t be too fanatic. I don’t have any experience about it. Actually I have an idol but
it’s not like this story, just usual fan.
If I can change the story I will make the ending of the novel in different way. Adam is also a
criminal although he helps Sharon. He has to be jailed. Reader can think and make it as example
that it’s bad and bad guy must got his punishment.
The larger issue in this novel is about the fanatic fans that become criminal persons. Firstly the
kidnapping only to rape her, but after that they also want her money because she was rich. It’s
happened because sexy actress like Sharon can make any people do something bad to her. Thus
as a women you haven’t to expose your sexuality if you don’t want to get same experience like
her.
While I was reading the novel, I feel the story is interesting and enjoyable. The choosing of
vocabulary is good and easy to read.

Belladonna
April 8, 2012

Book title : Belladonna

Author : Karen Moline
Publisher : Warner Books
Brettenham House, Lancaster Place
London
Date publish : 1999
Genre : Horror Page : 630 pages

There are some character s in this novel, they are Tomasino Cennini, Matteo Cennini, Belladona,
Matter Canaan, and Leandro. The main character, Belladonna, is my favorite character here,
because she was not desperate although had been a victim of a British aristocrat who kept her
drugged, tortured, and sexually enslaved for 12 years, even she did the revenge to the people
who became him Lordship by establishing a night club and murdered the members. I found a
difficulty in diving Tomasino’s character, because there were many parts which was described
him as a servant who opposed his boss, Belladonna, but there were many parts too which was
described him as an obedient servant.
There is a part of the story that i dislike most. It’s when Belladonna only thought about her desire
to revenge without thinking about her life.
Actually i never read book like this before, but the author’s idea for revenge is so out of mind.
The author usually writes about the revenge only to the person who hurt the character, but in this
novel the author made revenge also to everybody who became him Lordship for the women.
If i could change to the story, i would add some explanations about her life too, because the
author only wrote about Belladonna’s life very short, whereas her private life is also interesting
to be told.
This novel told me that women trafficking happen everywhere, not only in developmental
country like Indonesia, but also in Britain which has been progressive.
When I read this novel, I feel so curious, because the author’s way to tell the story was very
unpredictable. Beside that, he also uses the simple language which is easy to be understood by
the reader. There is one thing that i have learned from Belladonna, It is we should not be selfish,
because she also thought about the other woman who became a victim of Lordship too.

The boy who invented the Bubble Gun

Book title : The boy who invented the Bubble Gun

Author : Paul Galliico
Publisher : Dell publishing company
Date published : – Number of pages: 239
Genre : Science fiction

The main character is Julian who drew a picture of the Bubble Gun. He wanted to realize it
became real gun but he didn’t have money and tools to create it. The second character is Marshal
who helped him when Julian was accused as a killer. And the third is Colonel who brought him
to government to realize what he wanted.
I am interested with his spirit in getting what he wanted. He went to New York alone without his
mother permission. But finally he can invent the Bubble gun. I was confused with the police that
accused him because I think the picture is not enough to be used as a proof. I like ending part
that he finally got what he want after he had struggled from police. But I dislike with his mother
who didn’t permit him to reach his dream because as a mother, she has to support her son. I don’t
have any experience that related with this book.
When I am reading this book I feel enjoyable and the main character brought me to his spirit in
getting his dream.

The Dead Zone

April 8, 2012

Book title : The Dead Zone

Author : Stephen King
Publisher : Viking
Date published : 1979 Number of pages : 402
Genre : Mystery

The main character of this novel is Johnny Smith who he got a power as clairvoyant because an
accident. His girlfriend is Sarah who has married with other man because Johnny got coma for 5
years. His parents are Herb and Vera who always care with him.
I like this novel because this novel has a good plot. The interesting part is when Johnny saw the
future of Stillson who he was a candidate of President. Stillson will make nuclear conflict around
the world. It is will be a big problem and he want to stop it.
But the part that made me confusing is how a human can get the power to see the future. I think
it’s impossible. The part that I dislike is when he was dead because I think he should survive and
help other person with his power.
I don’t have any experience that related with this novel. As I know in Indonesia, there are many
shamans who can see the future but I don’t believe with them.
If I have opportunity to change this novel, I will change the ending. He can against his brain
tumor and still alive. Then, he got a good position in government because he has saved America
from Stillson. While I was reading this novel I felt enjoyable.
