a book I have just finished

I could not imagine which book I would finish reading in Singapore. And the answer turned out today. You may have already guessed right. It is HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS.
It was just a coincidence that I picked up this book. I was reading THE KITE RUNNER a few days ago. That is also a best-seller book for it moves tens of thousands of people. I had to admit that I cried three times before I have finished reading it when I was in China. It describes a love between two brothers. When I borrowed this English edition from Wei Yaxin, I couldn’t help to wait to read it. After I have finished almost half of it, a friend of mine asked if he could read the book. I was glad to share such a great book with him because I had already known the whole story. So I thought I could wait to read the book after him.
With nothing interesting to read, I wandered around the dormitory, asking my friends if there were books they could lend me. One of them gave the HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS to me.
I have read the whole series of HARRY POTTER during my stay in China. (But I still could not finish the fifth book for I thought it was too boring to read) I can still remember clearly when I first saw the book. It was on a school bus. We were going to take a spring outing at that time. And the long trip in a jolty bus was not so interesting. Luckily, a girl who sat beside me brought two books of HARRY POTTER with her. And she was very happy to see that I was interested in it. So I began to read it on the bus. However, one thing had gone wrong was that I could not bear to put it down. After the trip, I asked whether I could borrow it. She said OK for she was reading the first one, and she lent me the second book of the series. It was exactly the one which I have just finished yet.
To be honest, I have finished reading the book in three days. I spent a whole Saturday reading it. Seldom have I found books that can make me laugh when I was reading alone. When I was reading with my friends, I would share with them the interesting parts and I would laugh. But when I was the only one in the dormitory, I would read books silently. But this time, I couldn’t help laughing because of the amusing conversations in it. I had to admit that J.K ROWLING have created a vivid imagination in my mind.
Before I read this book and THE KITE RUNNER, I was reading the book’ AROUND THE WORLD IN EITHTY DAYS’. I gave it up when I had finished three quarters of it. It was a little boring for me to read so I could not find fun in it. Maybe J.K ROWLING has the magic that appeals youngsters to follow her.
