But even that moment seemed to pass too perfectly flawless..Josephe-Anne wrote: ↑30 Oct 2019, 13:00 My heart was pounding in my chest during the scene where Johnny encounters the tiger while walking back from the Temiar village. I was wondering if he would end up fighting off the huge animal, or if the villagers would come to help him.

I agree! Nd when the good guys go into the buildings and encounter the bad guys. That was the most suspenseful for meMsH2k wrote: ↑31 Oct 2019, 17:50 The parade scene was the most thrilling for me. It was exciting to see the expert teamwork among Sarah, Jacko, Jamie, and the gang. It was especially tense when they were trying to determine if the building guards were really Gurkhas or not. I was hoping the only fireworks in the parade would be the ones for entertainment!

Yes that scene was nerve wrecking. And at the end Cook arrested the bandit chief.Kro92813 wrote: ↑31 Oct 2019, 21:17I agree! Nd when the good guys go into the buildings and encounter the bad guys.

I definitely do that as well. I skip the suspenseful parts until I know how the scene ends, and then I go back and read those parts in detail.

I love the description of the "art of abducting" Jonny, too.
I think that everyone has a soft nature. We just wish it is all we see all the time from every person.
This nature will make the society better, indeed.
Thank you.
