This book's story is very comical. Although I read this book at liblary, I couldn’t stand to be quiet. I burst out laughing in spite of myself. But I will be embarrassed if there is actually a person like him.
An early (1907) example of eco-horror telling the tale of a mysterious natural life form in the South Pacific which has the ability to absorb all life around it including any human beings who come into contact with it.
Hope Hodgson tells a fine tale here set in the sea-going environment that so often inspired him. It should also be regarded as science fiction. There is nothing supernatural at the cause of the distress of the couple who come alongside the narrator's ship.

Bobbie, Peter and Phyllis had kind parents and anything they wanted.
But one day their father goes anywhere and three children and their mather leave from London to the country. Then their new life starts near the railway station!
Children anre brave and rash. Adults cna't act like them. Although children sometimes make people angry, children's actions help many people and make them happy.
I like Bobbie the best of three children because she is wise. I'm also a oldest sister, but I couldn't act show more like her. So I respect her. This is very fun and hot story. I think children are very kind and people around them are also very kind.
But I want to know their later life. show less

Hester Prynne has a child but the child isn't her husband's.
That's why she must wear the scarlet letter'A',a mark of her sin.
By the way,who is the father of her child?
It was difficult for me to understand the religion.
However,it was also interesting for me that this book expressed humans' minds well.
I'll try to read it again.
