It's the story of Kathy, Ruth and Tommy as they grow up and realise their boarding school is more than that.

Beautifully written, although the ending is quite unexpected. It explores the hidden corners of humanity, love and ethics in a world not distant from being just fiction. 

Highly recommended for those who question life at its best. *****]]> 2021-08-20 13:24:30 UTC https://padlet.com/fdmonofre/5udlq74tinnjeskk/wish/1687888880 santistebanmaryfe https://padlet.com/fdmonofre/5udlq74tinnjeskk/wish/1692258168 One day Thomas woke up one day in an elevator that aparently took him to a place that looks like an apocalyptic place. he and the rest do not remember anything except his name.

It's the story of Gregorio Samsa where he transforms into a giant insect and this causes problems with his family.

 The story is easy to follow, however the final is sad.

I can recommend it. *****]]> 2021-08-24 03:59:50 UTC https://padlet.com/fdmonofre/5udlq74tinnjeskk/wish/1692788864 Alvaro Prieto-"Hamlet" by William Shakespeare https://padlet.com/fdmonofre/5udlq74tinnjeskk/wish/1692805302 Hamlet is a theater and tragedy story.

Later, the actual king sends him to a prison because Hamlet was talking nonsense from one day to another and said he was worried about his sanity.

The characters are well written, they talk like medieval people. The book have some interesting topics, although you have to pay attention because it can be confusing for the way the characters communicate.
I would recommend it. *****]]> 2021-08-24 04:08:36 UTC https://padlet.com/fdmonofre/5udlq74tinnjeskk/wish/1692805302 Ever Apaza - "Cien años de soledad" by Gabriel García Márquez https://padlet.com/fdmonofre/5udlq74tinnjeskk/wish/1692922319 This fantastic story of the Magic Realism genre, written by Gabriel García Márquez in 1967.
The story centers on the Buendía's family, one of the founding families of Macondo. In this novel we can see the evolution of seven generations of the family over 100 years.
I personally like stories that contain unreal elements. That's why I read this novel and it didn't disappoint.
The novel is wonderful. Although it can be confusing, since the author repeats the names of his characters to the point that you no longer know who he is talking about as in the case of "José Arcadio" and "Aureliano". 
Removing that aspect, I would recommend the novel. ****]]> 2021-08-24 05:11:14 UTC https://padlet.com/fdmonofre/5udlq74tinnjeskk/wish/1692922319 Jimmy Torres-"Mi planta de Naranja- Lima" https://padlet.com/fdmonofre/5udlq74tinnjeskk/wish/1693178875 This is an excellent fiction novel which talks about poorness in Brazil and was written by Jose Mauro de Vasconcelos in 1968.

It's the story of Zeze and his family.  All start when his family moves to another house and he need to choose a plant from the garden. Another important point is that his father mistreats him and this is the reason why he begins to have his plant as an imaginary friend. However, then he gets a true friend who little by little is replacing his imaginary friend.

It's a beautiful written and the end has an important teachingsFinally, I recommend this book because it makes you realize the problems of poorness and the consequences. Also it makes you reflect about the mental health of children who face these problems
The best fiction novel.****

This novel written by the Nobel Prize in Literature Mario Vargas Llosa, which has a plot related to the violent experiences that the cadets boarding the last three years of Secondary Education of the Military College Leoncio Prado in the capital of Peru, Lima.
I started reading this novel thanks to a recommendation from my father.

This edition of Harry Potter . It was rejected many times because people thought the children couldn't read a book with a lot of pages, however, it was a success.

They discovered the things that they have in common. The story is in two tenses, the present, about Molly's problems and that she is working at Vivian's house doing community service hours for her bad behavior. Also the past, when Vivian was one of the girls on the orphan train.

In my opinion, it is a good book that makes you live in your own flesh what those children lived at that time, where hundreds of thousands of children traveled on that train without knowing what would happen to them, becuase that was true.

I can't find a bad thing in the story, because I even liked the ending.
It can be a little difficult to read at the beginning, but after the first few pages it will be hard to put down.

I really recommend it. *****]]> 2021-08-24 14:28:08 UTC https://padlet.com/fdmonofre/5udlq74tinnjeskk/wish/1693725107 Marilyn Choque- 7 simple steps to financial freedom. https://padlet.com/fdmonofre/5udlq74tinnjeskk/wish/1694180129 This interesting book was written by Tony Robbins in 2016.

This is the story of a young woman in the 1800's, Elizabeth Bennet. 

The Bennet family has five daughters, and in an age where the only thing women could do was marry rich, all the girls are pressured to find wealthy matches to secure the family's comfort. Elizabeth, however, refuses to marry the first man the comes along, and only marry when for love.  This book truly has the best of all worlds a wonderful romance, lovable characters, humor, and beautiful writing.

I was so pleased to find that this is not the case with Austen's writing style. I enjoyed every single page of this wonderful novel, and truly did not want it to end! I will certainly be reading more Austen! I would recommend this book to anyone fans of romance, family-oriented stories, comedies, fans of classics, and even reluctant readers of classics who would like an easy gateway into the world of classic novels.]]> 2021-08-24 19:04:50 UTC https://padlet.com/fdmonofre/5udlq74tinnjeskk/wish/1694256203 Rodrigo Cespedes - "La noche de los alfileres" by Santiago Roncagliolo https://padlet.com/fdmonofre/5udlq74tinnjeskk/wish/1694444447 A very exciting novel with a lot of good reviews, La noche de los alfileres is a Thriller story, about 4 teenagers in Lima in the 90's, who lived a difficult moment and then they have to hide it. 
Although, it's hard to deal with the circumstances, Carlos, Manu, Beto and Moco stay together. I really like this book, specially the way it's related. Each chapter is told by a different frient, so you can see how he sees and all the different tipes of view.
To me, it doesn't have any bad points or aspects, and I completely recommend it. *****
