The mysterious murders

Detective Stories
by Philip Pullman

Review
Ron Bajrami

You like murders and mystery? This book is for you.  It’s really interesting and always keeps you thinking and guessing what's going to happen next. 

A murder happens, and next thing you know these intelligent detectives start solving them and finding details that no one would think of. This happens in every chapter. We see different detectives as the story goes on, how they solve the case and try to keep people safe. Young mystery fans will be enthralled by this compelling volume of classic detective fiction. The author is Philip Pullman, and he does an amazing job in explaining the scenes, and when you read it it’s almost like you’re there.

I personally picked this book because I saw Sherlock Holmes and he's considered a big character in the blockbuster series. Some of the chapters that I read were “The speckled band” and “The adventure of the Egyptian Tomb”. They both share in common one thing and It’s that the detectives are solving a murder. In “The speckled band “ the famous Sherlock Holmes walks us through Baker street were Holmes and Watson  wait in the darkened murder room for the appearance of the speckled band, which was caused by the horrifying death of a young woman. In “The adventure of the Egyptian Tomb” there’s another detective named Poirot. As he and Captain Hastings tackle a series of mysterious deaths that follow to a discovery of an Egyptian Tomb. 

I would recommend this book a lot if you like anything related to mystery, murder and even a bit of thriller. I really liked this book and I'm not even halfway through, so I expect it to get better with every chapter that I will read. I am aware of who Sherlock Holmes is; he has 2 detective movies, one is coming out in 2021, so I wanted to learn more about his story, and this book really helped. So if you are interested in any of these topics then choose this book, because the stories are explained really well.

Equality...Kind Of

Black Soldiers-The Unsung Heroes of WWII Christopher Paul Moore Review by Will Hunt          Does color on the outside of us really matter? Why do people judge others based off of our outside skin color?          In Black Soldiers-The Unsung Heroes of WWII you hear many intriguing decisions, for better or worse, made by white males with power in the army or government. These decisions were typically made on whether black or African-American soldiers should be used in combat during the war. Often they chose to use them, but they would be given less significant jobs solely for the fact they were African-American. These included cooking, cleaning and more chores, not fighting. An example of this was when USA started to send men down to Australia. Along with these men they would send big machinery, weaponry and goods to have the ability to set up a base. Australia was completely fine with this...as long as black soldiers didn’t come. An ...

The Fight for Survival

The Death Cure By: James Dashner Reviewed by: Cole Metallides Have you ever wondered what the world would be like if a disease has wiped out most of the population? In the fiction Novel, The Death Cure , which is part of a series of novels consisting of The Maze Runner and The Scorch Trial, by James Dashner, the main character Thomas and many of his friends are trapped in a skyscraper created by a company by the name of the WICKED. WICKED’s goal is to find a cure for the Flare, a serious disease that has killed most of the human population. Their way of finding the cure is very inhumane and involves human testing. I will be summarizing the first quarter of the book. In the beginning of the novel, the kids are put through many strenuous and painful tests that most of the time just seem completely unnecessary. Many of the boys find themselves in rooms that are nothing but white and plain. They haven’t been able to shower for many days and are very confused about why they are there....
