Book Review 2-13

I read the book "L.A. Raid". I will review this story.
Lenny Samuel who lived in Los Angeles was a private detective. It was Monday morning in June. He was going to the First City Bank on Sunset to put his money in. Outside the bank he saw a woman with long blonde hair. He smiled at her. At that time, he saw a duck that was coming out of the bank. In fact, it was someone with a duck mask on. The duck had a brown bag in its left hand and in its right hand had a gun. He threw himself to the ground. The duck ran past him. He decided not to put his money in the bank. At that time, he heard a police car. An officer asked him questions for three hours. After that, he drove back to his office. Then he listened the radio news about it. He wanted to have a rest, but he got a call from the President of the First City Bank, Mr. Carter. Carter asked him to work for him. That’s why he had to go to his office. The headquarters of the First City Bank was in a tall office building. There was a private car park. He parked his old grey Chrysler. He went into the building and got into the elevator. He rode up to the tenth floor. A secretary took me to Carter’s office. It was a very big room. Everything was white. Carter was sitting at the desk and unhappy. He had lost
10000000. He said to Carter that he was expensive. However, Carter asked him to find the robber. Carter also told him about other robberies.
On Monday night, someone had railed the First City bank in Glendale Boulevard. The bank robber had dug a tunnel to the bank. He had made a hole in the floor of the bank. Then the robber had taken the money away through the tunnel. On Tuesday evening, a helicopter had flown over our bank in Main Street. The raider had come down a rope from the helicopter. He had made a hole in the roof. Then he had climbed down into the bank and robbed it. The raider had gotten hold of the rope again. Then the helicopter had lifted him out through the roof. On Wednesday morning, there was a raid at the First City Bank in Santa Monica. The robber had stopped one of the bank’s vans. The van had been full of money. The robber had not hurt the driver of the van, but he had stolen all the money. On Thursday night, the raid had been at the bank on Seventh Street. First, the robber had stolen a big excavator. Then he had driven the excavator through the glass doors of the bank. The excavator had picked up a cash machine and driven off. The police had found the excavator ten minutes later. The cash machine had been empty and the robber had gone. On Saturday morning, one of our vans had left L.A. airport. The van had been going towards the city center. The van had been carrying gold. A police car had stopped the van near Florence. But it had not been a real police car. The bank robber had been driving the car. The robber had had a gun. He had made the van driver get out. The robber had driven off in the van with the gold.

Carter promised him that he would pay
10000 to him. He got into the Chrysler and drove around all evening, but he did not have a plan. He thought the bank robbers were clever than him. He got up early on Tuesday morning. He decided to watch the banks in the city center, but nothing happened. It was midday. He would ask a bank manager about how a bank worked, so he went to the First City Bank near the City Hall. He waited outside the manager’s office. There were a lot of people in the bank. The bank manager’s office door was closed. The manager’s name was F. RIVERA. He could see someone in the office through the glass door. The door opened. A woman with long blonde hair came out. She was carrying a plastic shopping bag. She walked to the glass front doors of the bank and left. He remembered seeing her. The secretary opened the door and screamed. A man was sitting at the desk. His hands and legs were tied with rope. There was tape over his mouth. The safe in the corner of the office was open. Mr. Rivera told him about the story. According to a woman whose name was Miss. Waterbird came to see him with gun. Samuel asked him some questions about it. On Wednesday afternoon, he was sitting in his car. It was parked outside the First City Bank in Florence Avenue. A guard got out of the van. He was carrying a heavy bag of money. Suddenly, the motorbike drove between the van and the bank. There were two people on the motorbike and they were both wearing duck masks. The passenger on the motorbike took the moneybag. He tried to follow them and went to the busy streets, and then a police car came and was close behind him. The policeman took him to the police station, so he told the police everything. Later he became free. Mr. Carter was angry because he could not catch them. However, he kept his job. He thought they would come to the bank on Hollywood Boulevard. He asked Mr. Carter whether he could stay the bank on Friday night or not. He was allowed to do that. At two o’clock in the morning, he heard the noise. The someone climbed down a rope into the bank. The robber put something against the safe door, and then he moved away quickly. There was smoke everywhere. The big safe door opened slowly. A minute later, the robber came out again with some bags and then he pointed his gun at the robber. He turned the light on and pulled the mask off. It was the blonde woman. It was the same woman he had been before. Suddenly, something fell on him from the hole. It was the other robber. He dropped the gun and fell to the floor. Everything went black.
When he woke up, he was arrested by a policewoman. His hands were tied with rope. She did not believe his story and took him to the police station. She asked him a lot of question, and then she locked him in a room. Mr. Carter came to see him, but he was so angry. Mr. Carter fired him from the job. At midday, the Chief of Police came to see him. He was free, but he was not allowed to work as a detective. He managed to go back to his office. To his surprised, two people in duck masks were standing in his office. It was the bank robbers. The robbers took off their off. They were twins. They had blonde long hair. One was Lyn and the other was Liz. They told him about the Mr. Carter’s secret. To tell the truth, they were working for Carter. He paid them to rob the banks. In other words, he was robbing his own bank. He told them where the money was and Samuel was. He was so rich, but they did not like him. That is why they told him about everything. They said to him that they would leave town and go to Hawaii. Then Lyn gave him a letter. The letter told the police about Carter and the bank. Samuel closed his eyes once. The moment he opened his eyes, both women kissed him quickly and then they left. He took the letter to the police. Carter was arrested. He could be a detective again. A week later he got a phone call. He put some clothes into a suitcase and got into the Chrysler. He was going on holiday. The phone call had been from Hawaii. He would leave the town!!

I think it was the most longest book review I have ever done. I was happy to be long. Speaking of this story, it was easy, but it was too long. However, it was interesting. I want to find books such as this again. Perhaps, the next time I review one book; I will make it be longer than this. It is very hard to me and takes long time, but I want to try to do it!!
