not, because very rarely have we been invited to a
wedding ceremony that is other than a formal and a
well-mannered event. Our familiarization with the

with the traditional marriage ceremony of the
Momna community, a minority group in eastern
Pakistan from where I come. In this community, the

Stranger Is Watching Sharon And Neil Point

A Stranger is Watching is a terrific book. I
enjoyed reading this book very much. The non-stop
action kept me reading for hours. One of the best
features of the book is how it was written. The
point of view changes every chapter. For example
Chapter 1 is written in the point of view of the
infamous Foxy character. Chapter 2 is written in
the point if view of our protagonist, Steve; and
so on. I also liked how the author built the
relationship of the characters up, so you care

Opening Chapter Hot Air

A dictionary defines the word addictive as being:
wholly devoted to something, a slave to another
and in a state of wanting more. Ian McEwan claimed
that he wanted to write an opening chapter that

end of chapter one the reader is left needing more
information about the characters introduced and
what tragedy actually occurred. McEwan took the
