One of the first books I read as an Undergraduate at University and it did not grab me at first. Second and third readings however changed my mind towards rural African political systems.
I was also absolutely honoured to meet the late Professor Achebe before his death in 2013.

Feb 8, 2018 (Updated Apr 9, 2019)
aya was somehow recruited to find a lost treasure. Her old professor starts it off by trying to get to her and with her research. Something happens that, makes Jaya, has to pick up the research after her professor dies.
The author has you intrigued by wanting to know what Jaya gets an email from her former Professor. Once she gets her hands on the sketchbook or famous artist from Italy. Are there connections with Michelangelo?
You will be so involved you will be wondering what's going on with it. How is a ghost story connected to present day Murder? For me, this book seems to have you guessing along the way.
They're a disappearing boyfriend that comes and goes. What up with that. It seems to grow even more intense with a ghost that keeps appearing and disappearing. It comes to be even more intense, as you, go. I thought it was growing creepier. It, not creepy scary. It just my opinion of how I felt at a point. I loved it. You did not ever know what was going to happen when you go to turn the page.

Excellent idea, but ran out of ideas.
Professor Layton and the Curious Village is the first of the Professor Layton series of games, and overall it was a good first attempt. The story was good, and the puzzles involved were very well thought out and certainly tricky in places.
But that's all you can really say about it. After a while, the puzzles get very repetitive, using the same puzzles again with slight differences, and with a new or "new" puzzle seeming to come along every few seconds, it can get laborious, and incredibly tedious, to the point you don't care about the story any more.
There are only two voices featured, the Professor and his assistant, Luke. The professor's voice is fine, but Luke's clichéd cockney voice is incredibly irritating to the point I had to play the game with the sound off.
This also goes for the music, a single pleasant piece of music that plays constantly through the entire game. Again, incredibly annoying: sound off.
Good attempt, hopefully improves by the second game!

This novel was amazing. It made me really think about social issues. I loved the emotions that played over the pages, tempting the reader into wanting more. I had to read this for a class, but I am very glad that the professor assigned it. I would highly recommend this to anyone. Great novel.

Simple, classy, beautifully written
This subdued simple novel about a man named William Stoner is gloriously poignant and subtle to the extreme. His career as a professor, despite his humble beginnings, and his role as a father and husband is punctuated throughout with small changes and crises. It's a gorgeous piece of literature, reminiscent of American period pieces.
