The Pyramid

This is a review from a book I've read recently.

The Pyramid by Henning Mankell

The Pyramid is set in Ystad, South of Sweden, in 1989 Christmas time. In the novel, Inspector Kurt Wallander and his colleagues are working on solving two double murders and another murder one with just one victim. The most complicated issue they had was to find the connection existent between them. It seemed inexplicable until Wallander got an idea in his travel to Egypt when he saw the Pyramids.

I was fascinated by the vivid descriptions of both countries, which are absolutely different from one another. I also was also completely intrigued by the plot. Who wanted to assassinate two old ladies in a sewing shop? Why did an illegal light aircraft crash? Why did the main suspect appear murdered in the forest? Three questions that needed to be answered to arrest the right person.

The novel is especially focused on the main character, Kurt Wallander. He is a just divorced man, whose life is a bit chaotic due to his unhealthy habits. In contrast, at work he investigates every case accurately; this along with his intuition makes him an excellent inspector.

If you enjoy reading crime novels, you will really love this book where the action never stops. The way in which the author wrote it keeps the tension and the intrigue high until the end, so it will haunt you. Therefore, you will be transported into a research atmosphere where the hints will lead you to the solution.

A VERY SPECIAL DAY... O:-)

Yesterday was a very special day because my nephew had his first communion. He is eight years old and he's a good child. He was looking forward to that day and receiving his gifts. He was excited as he opened his gifts. There were a lot of things like clothes, shoes, a nice <a id="_GPLITA_1" style="text-decoration: underline;" title="Click to Continue > by Browse to Save" href="#">watch</a> and even a tablet. He was so happy, like any child would be when receiving presents.

The ceremony was very emotional, and his patents were so proud and happy. When the ceremony was over, we went to a <a id="_GPLITA_0" style="text-decoration: underline;" title="Click to Continue > by Browse to Save" href="#">restaurant</a> to celebrate. We had a fantastic dinner and a delicious chocolate cake. It was a great day and we had a really good time.

Hi Isabel :)

I enjoyed your notebook, so keep it up! A few tips for you:

- Firstly, you need to learn how to spell the word 'receiving' as you spell it 'reviving'

- Make your sentences shorter, so don't use a comma too much

- You should try to use your nephews name, instead of using 'he' all the time.

Hope this helps :)

My hobby

I am fond of the arts and crafts. My hobby is scrapbooking. I collect postcards, <a id="_GPLITA_0" style="text-decoration: underline;" title="Click to Continue > by Browse to Save" href="#">tickets</a> and other memorable tokens from places I have visited. That's why I decided to make a big great album with photos, clippings, notes and so on. However, as it turned out, it was too difficult for me to do this. This is because sometimes, I don't have the necessary materials and sometimes not enough ideas. So, I started with some simple- gift cards.

<a id="_GPLITA_1" title="Click to Continue > by Browse to Save" href="#">Now</a> I have a lot of material, such as paper and tools. I really like my hobby.

Hey Irene

I really enjoyed your notebook :) It was easy to understand, with only a few mistakes. I like the idea of having a scrap book with all these different tokens to remember places you've visited. Keep up the notebooks!
