The Big Picture - A Book Review




I liked this book because it made me feel excited. I hope you will read this book.

One day in Tokyo, there was a photographer named Kenji Harada. Sometimes photo companies bought his photos but it did not pay a lot of money, so he was not rich. His wife Sachiko wasn't happy because she wanted money. In Tokai Photo Agency, Kenzaburo Yoshimoto is a big name for a small man. Kenzaburo said, "Go to the Tokyo Garden Hotel at 10.30." There were Takahanada and his girlfriend Kumiko Okada. Takahanada was a famous sumo star in Japan. Kenji wore a suit and he tried to take their pictures and he took a taxi. When he came to the Garden Hotel, there were about twenty-five photographers and they took pictures of Takahanada and Kumiko Okada. Next to the hotel, there was a cafe so he went to there and he saw Takahanada and Okada Kumiko going into the cafe. Kenji thought he will get money if he takes pictures of Takahanada and Okada Kumiko. After he took pictures, he took a taxi and someone tried to hit Kenji because he wanted Kenji's pictures of Takahanada and Kumiko Okada, but he was gone. When he came back to his home and he opened his darkroom, there was a mess because someone was in his darkroom. Kenji called the police and they said, "Maybe next time he'll kill you." Kenji went to Tokyo station and he put the film in locker number 93. He went to out of the station and he got a taxi, but a car stopped next to Kenji and a man pushed him into the man's car. The men put something over his eyes and he couldn't see anything. The man asked Kenji about the film and Kenji said, "Locker Number42" and the man pushed him into the man's room and the man went to find the number 42 locker. The man came back to the room and Kenji punched the man in the face and he went outside. Kenji said,"Stop stop," and he held up his hand. Soon a car stopped and drove him to Tokyo. Kenji told Uchikawa of the Tokyo Police about what happened and they went to Tokyo station. They saw someone trying to open locker 93, so Uchikawa told the three police and they caught the man who tried to hit Kenji and the man went to the jail. Kenji went to the photo company and he gave Takahanada and Kumiko Okada's photos to them and he got a million yen and Kenji's family was happy.
