                Emma and jason uses lawyer to face court, they both want to be a winner to get a lottery prize. Everyone want the five million pounds, including their lawyers. This happen because use a lawyer is expensive.

My Opinion :

                This story is very interesting for me. Many moral value i can get from this story. Such as, “lie is not good for our life.” If we lie to someone, we will get some troubles in the future. It happens in jason’s life when he lies to everyone about the winning ticket. As human, we should say the truth and fact. However the truth is pain, we should stand in right way. Another value i get from this story  is about the lawyer. Honestly, i hate lawyer so much, because their job just support their client and make their client win in the court eventhough they don’t know who is right and wrong.

                This story is very easy to catch because this book use a easy sentence. This is the real reading book for me to increase my skill and knowledge. Each one has been chosen for its enjoyment value and this book see to us the quality or writing.

                In other side, the weakness from this book come from the ending of the story. I think the story is not clear and it make the reader very curious and dissapointed.
