book report (rewrote)


"The stolen letter"


I recently read the stolen letter by Edgar Allan Poe, a book about a stolen letter which caused a big problem but finally an intelligent man Auguste Dupin rescued it and received a big reward for his courage. It is an interesting and fascinating story that describes mysterious problem because nobady knew where the letter was.

In Paris, just after dark one evening in the autumn, two friends were in Auguste's library when suddenly Monsieur G. (the head of Paris police department) arrived asks them for help and advice because he didn't know what he had to do to find the stolen letter.

he thought it was inthe Minister's apartment.

The central theme of the book, a mysterious problem that Monsieur G. must resolve, is how a strange man resolved and saved the letter only using his intelligence without the help of others.

The main characters are C. August Dupin, Monsieur G, and the Minister who stole the letter.
Each one had differnt points of view about the place where they thought the letter was.

My favorite character was Dupin because he thought in a logical way and went to search the letter at the Minister's house only based in the description that Monsieur G told him.

I like the story. The author involved me with the suspense and I was waiting to know what would happen.
I would recommend the book to anyone who likes the mystery.I think most of people like to read this kind of stories because they catch the readers' attention and causes that we want to know more and want to know what comes next.
