The book’s name is “Comfort grocery”. I like it because it’s let me feel warm. It is about an old man who give others advice when they ask for help in his grocery. One night, three young men who grow in orphanage went into a house and thieved the house owner’s car. The car was too old to drive to it broke on their way to escape. Then they found the grocery and went into it. They found that this grocery was very amazing because it could make them contact with people who live in the past. At the beginning, they didn’t know the letters which they got from the mail box were from past. They just thought the writer who sent a letter to them was so stupid. After few letters, they found that was so good to help these people who wrote to them. They found their value. They used modern methods to help these writers. They searched information on line , told the writers what they feel and gave them some advices. And at the end of the story, they “talked” with the grocery’s owner, the old man who had died for 33 years, and got a very warm and inspiring advice from him. They were not useless, they could found the right way and live in a better life.
