My favourite story book.

ahhh..i still remember that book that i've read back to 3 years ago when i was still in unitar taking my foundation.the title is 'the black book of secrets' by F.E Higgins.it looks like that..


so,the story is about a boy,Ludlow Fitch that is living a horrible life before he met with Joe Zabbidou,which a bit mystic man because he pawn the guilty secrets of his customers.i found that the story line is cool because i can finish reading it in 2 days only.haha.futhermore,i kinda like the using of latin phrases inside the story,where it was such a short phrase but deep in meaning.


mm..heres the summary of the story.:D

When Ludlow Fitch's parents cruelly betray him, he steals away on the back of a carriage and leaves behind the stinking City. He arrives in the dead of night at a remote village, where he crosses paths with the tall and limping figure of Joe Zabbidou - a pawnbroker with a difference. For Joe trades secrets, not goods, for cash.

Employed as Joe's assistant, Ludlow records the villagers' fiendish confessions in an ancient leather-bound volume: The Black Book of Secrets. There's the gravedigger who has been resurrecting bodies; the butcher who made a mouse-meat pie for his bullying father, with fatal consequences; the wizened bookseller who went to murderous lengths to get her hands on a priceless tome.

Ludlow longs to trust his mysterious master, but he senses Joe has much to hide. But then Ludlow Fitch has his own, very dark, secrets..

although this book just like a little kiddo novel,but once you've read it only one word can be in your mind;amazing.hahaha

so thats all,because i dont really remember the story already.might gonna dig it later out of the boxes to re-read.:)
