Book Review 2-7

I read the book "LOST LOVE and Other Stories". There were 6 short stories. I will summarize Lost love.
There was a young guy who lived in a city. He wanted to see the country, so he went there with his car. When he drove his car, his car stopped suddenly. He needed to get some petrol and should walk a town. When he got lost, he saw the girl. She was pretty. She asked him to come with her to the village. He followed her. Her name was Mary. There was a village, and it was old and pretty. She invited her house and then he met her parents. They were nice, but looked poor. Their foods were not so good. He liked her, so he didn't mind about it especially. He stayed all day and enjoyed having dinner with them. Suddenly, she asked him to leave there that night. She said to him that there was dangerous there. He didn't want to leave, but had to do that. It was midnight. He walked and walked. He managed to find a town and then got known about that village. One man said to him " There was a village there, but it isn't there now." The man also told him about the history of that village. There happened a war in that village 350 years ago and then people in the village were killed by Oliver Cromwell. He couldn't believe his story. The man also told to him an interesting story. For one day every ten years, it lived again and went away again for another ten years. If a person didn't leave before morning or he would never leave. He loved Mary, so he decided to go back to the village. He now had to wait two months. The village would come again. He would find her again and never leave before morning. He would stay with her.
I will also summarize the other story "The doll" shortly.
Mr Brown was lonely guy. One day, he bought a old doll at a small shop. It was strange and odd doll, but he liked it. He met some unbelievable accidents since he got that doll. He became unhappy day by day. For example, he was disliked by people. He wanted to get it away from him. He tried to threw it again and again. However, it always came back to him. That's why he tried to burn it at his garden. The fire got bigger and bigger. Suddenly there was a loud cry, and people run of his house. There was a big fire round the house and garden. They couldn't find him, but there was a doll near the fire. It was not a pretty doll and there was a smile on its face.

I like this book well. Each stories were short, but interesting for me. This book is level 2, but easy to read. It did not take much time to read. Speaking of Lost love, the guy was crazy for me. He didn't meet Mary so much, but he kept loving her so long time. I think there are many girls like her in the world. I know what this story wants to tell, so I don't say about it anymore. Talking of The doll, I don't like this story so much. The ending was different to what I had expected. I expected its happy end. However, I will recommend my friends to read this book!!
