Hallo good people!
Yesterday, I borrowed a book story from the library which has title "Voodoo Island". So, that's why I make a book report. Yah... I know that some of people know about Voodoo. They think that voodoo is kind of magic.Okay I will start to tell you about the story of this book. There are 2 main characters in here James Conway and Karen Jackson. They met in the aeroplane to Haiti Island. James Conway is a businessman and a richman. When James went to Haiti Island, he met a woman who worked as a doctor and book writer, Karen Jackson. James was surprised and laughed when she said that she wrote a book about Voodoo. They have an argue about it there. James doesn't believe about Voodoo at all and it was making Karen mad. When the aeroplane was approaching Haiti Island, that was an old man who lived in a small wooden house. Some people said that he is Houngan (a person who know and can use a Voodoo). Conway was very popular in Haiti Island because he bought many Island and build many houses there. Many people worked for him. However, He had a problem because he want bought a hill but there were a graveyard. He asked to his friend Jacques Remy to solved his problem. Someday, Karen went to Kee's house. Kee asked to Karen who is she. After that, Karen said that she is a doctor who work at the big hospital in Port au Prince and she came to Kee's house for her book. she told him that she wrote a book about Voodoo and Kee is the best houngan in Haiti. Kee tell her about his life, old Haiti and the people he remembered. After that, Kee invite her to his grandfather's grave yard at the top of the hill. Karen was surprised when he said that his grand father is Baron Samedi (he is the strongest houngan of all). Nevertheless, he convinced her that he just an old man. And than, Karen said goodbye to Kee because she must be came back to the hospital.
The climax of this story is when Conway's employees came to the graveyard and said that they want to put the stone of the graveyard. And than, Kee came to Conway's company in order he could not build a hotel or shop there and Kee said that he is a Houngan . It made Conway very angry and he told to Pierre and Herri to took away all the stones and cu down al the trees in the graveyard although it can make an old man angry. But one afternoon Kee came back to the graveyard again. He was became terribly angry when he saw there was no stone and tress. After that, he made a ritual in the garden. There was a fire and Kee took a stick and drew a circle on the ground. And than, he walked round and round the criclee, singing a strange song. Yahh.. Kee did a voodoo to Conway. Conway felt that he has a bad dream. Someone who call as Baron Samedi and the spirits of the graveyard came to his dream. He always had a bad dream, he felt the have woke up but no he still on his dream until he was like a crazy person.
Karen was came to Kee's house to help her because in her hospital there was a patient who has a mentally problem. She think that he was hit by a voodoo. And than, Kee help him and they went to hospital together. When they arrived in the hospital, they are looked at the window there was a Conway. Kee did not want to help him and Karen loocked at his face that Frightening and cold.
In my opinion this book story is good, interesting and I do not bored when read it. I am a person who do not like read story which has many pages or part. So, I think it is very suitable for you guys that does not like long story haha... . Okay... and I will tell you one of book that have a short story but not to short, it is like comedy story but it does not have a same theme with the Voodoo Island that is One Of Those Days. This book is telling about an unlucky boy. You must be read it
Yah.. that's all my book report, I hope that you can enjoy to read it and absolutelly understand what I write.
