Change of hearts
By
Linda A. Cooney
The kind of this
novel is romance novel. The story of this novel is enough good because the
beginning of story makes someone confident to do something. But, sometimes I
found some old vocabularies that make me confused and bored. This novel is told
about woman who changes her hearts to another man in short time when her
boyfriend went to Princtone.
Many characters
include in this story, but there are three main characters in this story. The
first is Phoebe Hall. She was pretty woman but she didn’t have confident to be
a great woman. The second is Brad. He was Phoebe’s boyfriend. He was handsome
and smart. And the third is Griffin Neils. He was falling in love with Phoebe although he knew
that she had a boyfriend.
Brad is the best
character for me because he never gives up being success in his life and he
cared to his girlfriend even though he has long distant with her, he always
keeps his heart to be faithful man. In contrast, I dislike with
Phoebe because she was hurt Brad whereas she knew that Brad very cared with her. The most interesting part for me is when Phoebe didn’t have
confident to be good singer, Brad always support her to try it and convinces her that
she could do it. It was good suggestion for people who didn’t have confident to
be success.
The value from
this novel is confident to be success.

When I was at bookstore with my friend, she
suggested me to read this novel. She
said that it was romance novel because of its cover and I could read it
quickly. Then, I bought it and read it. After I read it, I felt confused
because it was complicated story.
The most character that I hate is Elizabeth
because she was unfaithful woman and didn’t care to her boy friend, Dr. Chen Li.
When both of them were separated and trapped in dangerous
situations, there was an attentive American soldier. He helped her
from dangerous situations. She was falling in love with him, and then she left Dr.
Chen Li in dangerous situations. Actually, if she was a faithful and cared to
her boy friend, she would help him to out from those situations but, she didn’t
do it.
The best part in this novel is when
Chinese came together to rescue their country from western country who would take
their wealth and change their culture. They did it hardly. So, they could trap
western country and make them to be down and out.
From this novel, I can learn about togetherness. It
can solve our problem easier than alone. Besides, it can make us stronger than
before to defend our country when there is a colonialist is coming here to
carry of our wealth. United we stand, divided we fall.
