Antonio's contribution
When I was rummaging in the library searching for a special English book, it seemed to me that I came across one book that triggers memories of a present given by a north American friend. As both of us do love science, then, we try to share our tastes. In addition, this is a story of friendship and it is hard to believe that such a book is the debut of the author. Yet, this page-tuner book, not only will it make you laugh, but it will also make shed a tear.
Concerning the plot, the main character, Ben Chambers, wakes up to find an unfamiliar object, rusty and lost, sitting in the garden. He is reluctant to throw it on the skip as his wife Amy advises, he lures it at home. Ben does not want children or even a job, and now he has found yet another reason to be apart from others. It is only when Amy walks out that Ben realizes he has alienated all the human beings in his life. He has only one friend left.
I do love this book, the more I read it, the more I cannot turn it down. In words spread in handwrittengirl.com: "A story that spans across many countries, A Robot in the Garden is a light-hearted and poignant tale, packed with humour, love and an adorable little robot that just wants to make friends"I would not miss for the world and you might even end up having to get a robot for yourself.
Enjoy your reading!
