Summary:
　This book has four short mysteries. These are mysteries, so I don’t want to tell you about stories definitely because the end of each story is really interesting, but I have to do. You will be able to find them very exciting throughout four stories. “ Man From the South” begins with the peaceful scene that a man having evening sun besides the pool. So it is like a restful vacation. An oldish man in a white suit came next to the man and sit down the beach chair. They talked friendly; moreover, a cadet and his girlfriend who seem to be around twenty came out of the pool, and joined the conversation. At first they were chatting happily. When a young man was about to light a cigar of the old man, saying, “This lighter will never fail to work,” the old man asked persistently, “never fail?” To the surprise and strange thing, the old man said that he would bet him a Cadillac about whether the lighter works without a mistake. If the boy wins the bet, he can get the Cadillac, but if he loses, …he is to give his little finger to the old man! Why he suggested such a strange bet? The end describing terror of bets will impress you at heart. “Skin” is the story about a painter and a tatooist. “The way up to Heaven” shows humans’ insanity. “ The last tale, “Mrs. Bixby and the Colonel’s Coat” is written about an affair and its humorous end. You will not think that you are ok exceptionally at an affair if you read this.
Evaluation: 5stars
I could read the stories interesting at heart and didn’t feel them so difficult. This is ranked level 2 at publishing’s standard, but at the libraries standard this is level 3.8. Too difficult words don’t appear in the stories and I could also enjoy reading in English. Of course, Roald Dahl is a very famous writer and his works are already admired all over the world.
So, you will be able to find this book very interesting if you read, I assure!
