I remember extremely vividly one scene from there, though. Two girls had been cruel to a horse or something, and when the vet got his chance, he grabbed a whip and chased the two girls like a madman!

Age 12–15 | Several sci-fi books whose names I have forgotten (se jossa ihmiset kiinnittelevät koneita aivoihinsa, se jossa monta tyyppiä muodostaa kokonaisuuden, se jossa lapset kehittyvät ja ihmiskunta tuhoutuu, Mars–Maa–Venus Sidarin peilisäteet / Rayons pour Sidar by Stefan Wul (Pierre Pairault) (Finnish) Tohtori L / Z for Zachariah by Robert O'Brien (Finnish) I admit that my parents forced me to read Harry Potter. After that I read three/two/one (can't remember) books more out of curiosity and don't remember anything about them. I wrote a review about the first book for English class (it had been about 2–3 years, I'd only read it in Finnish and was confusing scenes with the other books but got a pretty okay grade from it). Looking back at the review, it sucks big time. Naisten planeetta / The Female Man by Joanna Russ (Finnish) |
