Millions: Evaluating


    Do you agree with me that “Millions” is an amazing book to read? I can’t help waiting to share with you about it.
     The story happened in England, a mysterious foggy country that I wish to pay a visit one day. I love the two brothers, the main characters in this story. In my mind, Damian Cunningham was an innocent 10 year-old boy who was so keen with his belief in pantry saints. After his mother’s death, he always tried to be excellent by doing good things to please his dad .His deep knowledge of the Saints was kind of uncharacteristic of boys that age, but I thought that was what made him unique. Anthony was Damian’s older brother .I figured he was a little cunning but generally a good boy who only interested in money and real estate. Do you think that Anthony was so mature than his age (he was also a 6th Grader)?When a big bag stuffed of money suddenly fall from the sky into Damian's lap 17 days before The British pound was replaced by the new Euro .He thought the money must have come from God. He tries to think of a saintly way to spend it, however his brother Anthony insisted to invest money in real estate. I can imagine how rush Damian and his brother raced to spend all of the money before it become worthless! The two brothers struggled between their temptation of buying things for their own and a sense of good purpose: helping poor people.
    Have you ever dreamed to be a Millionaire? What would you plan to do when you suddenly had a big sum of money? Could you spend this sum of money in just 17 days? Think about it!
