ENGLISH BOOK

MY FAMILY AND OTHER ANIMALS

This summer holidays I've read a book called 'My Family and Other Animals'. This book is about an English family, the Durrell's, that move to Corfu, a Greek island.

They found a house helped by a man called Spiro and there they start a new life. Gerry Durrell is the smallest of all his brothers. He loves animals and to live adventures. So the book tells the story of Gerry and his family.

The writer of the book is Gerald Durrell, he was a naturalist, tv presenter, zoologist... 

He is known for writing many books based on his life, as an animal collector and a nature lover. He was brother of the famous novelist Lawrence Durrell.

Some other books of him are: The Mockery Bird,  The Fantastic Dinosaur Adventure, Gothic Horror...

Was born in Jamshedpur, India, on January 7, 1925 and died on January 30, 1995, days after his 70th birthday.

I didn't like this book, in my opinion it is boring and repetitive. 

I understood most of the words but I like the fact that the end of the book have like a dictionary with some of the words of the text.

Actually I don't really recomend the book but maybe other people likes it.

AFTER EARTH

The past 25th of July I went to the cinema with Viki, Sofia, Azadi and Maria because it was Viki's birthday.

We saw the film After Earth. This film is a film based on an original story idea by Will Smith. It's supposed to be in the future. A military father and his teenage son have an accident and end on Earth, one thousand years after some events forced humanity to leave Earth for a new planet. The son must save his dying father. His goal is to recover a rescue-beacon and also prove that he can live up to his father's reputation as a legendary soldier.

The protagonists of the film are Kitai Raige (Jaden Smith) and his father, General Cypher Raige (Will Smith).

The film is great, i loved it. I like the fact that Jaden and Will work together, both are really good. I recomend the film, it's very good.
