Read this book two years ago! I was so glad they made a show about it
Thank you. I had to read this over the summer and the test is tommorow. I haven’t even started to read it💀
Thanks German soldiers who fought in WW1 - thousands of them were Jews but I expect they weren’t to be given credit.
And to this day - Everyone gets accepted to Art School.
I like the summary but find AN voices annoying. But thank you for making the summary.
was there ever a photo found of Annie?
Thank you!
Thank u so much, this helped A LOT ❤❤
I was a big fan of Tom's new journalism, but it's obvious that if he'd started his career writing fiction he would have had no career.
why does no one likes this video???
Thanks for the help
Thanks but the novel is called African child not dark child
There were brilliant parts and not so brilliant parts

Jacques prediction in 2009 is looking to come true as it is based more on proper analysis of data. However China does not want to rule the world but more into a multi-polar world.
Bro thank you 🙏
When it’s revealed to the audience that Gabe knows his father can see him, is this the first time Gabe reveals himself to his father? Or had the dad always been able to see him but chose to ignore him because he knows he isn’t real?
Deadmau5 ❤
Thanks!
happy I didn't have to read this
The description you have on here is completely wrong. Leyla is writing about her own cat. (I've read the book) She lives in Denmark, and is not Turkish, does not fall in love with anyone that her mother doesn't like. I know you must have just mixed up the description, but it is not remotely akin to the book, nor is Charm a novel.
Thanks got a test today
Lose the piano. Also- your assessment totally misses the trio are Trapped in a middle of nowhere post war london- nowhere men. 3 sides co dependent on the other 2. Is it limbo? Are they living? None can break out, procrastination is always their excuse. Broke down pile of inherited? bricks wherein each remains trapped. Metaphor dammit. You're welcome.

I love this book!
Thank you I need this for my Sadako project

Dictators are often elected----once. After that, you vote for the other guy in sham elections, you're toast.
