CHELSEA AND THEIR DISASTROUS SEASON


The defending champions are having an absolutely shocking season. They have been in miserable form, with losing a whopping 7 games out of their 12. I supposed The Blues would be hogging the top stop in the table, but their position is an awful 16th. Chelsea is one of the best clubs in the world, but they have no points to support the statement after a dreadful season. They just suffered a loss against Stoke City, and are sitting near the bottom of the standings with a poor 11 points. Eden hazard, Diego Costa, Pedro are stupendous players but they just can't win. José Mourinho is a solid gaffer, but Chelsea has had a horrendous first quarter of the BPL 2015-16. I wouldn't be too surprised if they get relegated to the lower division, as they are just on the edge of being in the last 3 spots. Chelsea are simply not displaying their brilliance which led them to the trophy the season before. Maybe they can turn the tables around and leave us awestruck, but I think there's not much hope. I don't know what the cause of their utterly terrible form is, but what I do know is that they won't end up in the top 5, and I doubt they will ever even touch the top 8. Well, nothing is impossible. We'll see.

Kensuke's Kingdom-BOOK REVIEW

An absolutely crackling novel, an edge of the seat adventure, Kensuke's Kingdom is a marvellous book starring Michael and Kensuke. After a catastrophic fall overboard, Michael finds himself washed away on a remote island, with old Kensuke. I would never have though of this book to be such a fabulous read, but it was spectacular. The vivid description and characterisation and the stunning plot made me hold onto the book till the absolute last word. It is a truly heartwarming story, full of friendship and trust. The book was exceptional, and I'll give it a full 5 out of 5 stars-*****. It brings out the statement- friendship needs no language and how important the friendship and bonds are in life. Run to the nearest bookstore and grab a copy of it. I'm sure you won't regret it. Michael Morpurgo has done a sensational job with the beautiful lines, full of stimulating paragraphs and give us a feeling of actually being on the island. The imagery is unbelievably convincing. I just loved it. It was extraordinary. I have never read such a book, with such breath-taking description and a fantastic plot. It feels like I have stumbled upon in their world, cast away on an unknown island. I think all of you will absolutely adore this book. It may be short, but you don't need a 500- page thick novel to bring out the message. You need Kensuke's Kingdom. Think of it as the perfect read.
