Although a man was a writer, he didn't work well. One day, he had the chance of success. He bought the computer to work. It helped him, but it helped him too much!
In my opinion, the book is very good. It is very funny. And because it is level 1, I can read fast and easily. So I can enjoy it without difficult.
The book is very funny!Frank,who is a writer is not well enough known.One day,he get a computer and dream a rich with enthusiasm.But more and more,it helped him too much.
I feel the story is the present fashion.I empathize with the hero of a story because I am also very weak in machine.I was anxious about him who played into it. But,it was funny.I think this book is rich in content despite level1.
Frank is a writer.He doesn't have much money and his wife is unhappy.To help him finish his stories,he started to use a computer.It talks and works as he says.But iy gives him more help than he wants.Thenhe really needs "help".

Now is the age of IT,a computer is so important to people all over the world.Thet can't live without it anymore.This story satirizes that people depends on computers too much.I'm afraid that someday the day will come when computers get to have their thoughts and show more control human nature.
This book is very easy to read and interesting so much!I like it.
