Book Review

[:en]I really like reading books because books are interesting.I have read a lot of books and the most interesting book i have read is called “The Lorax” by “Dr.Seuss” .The book was first published in 1979 and the animation of the book was published in March 2 2012 in the United States.
The story of the book is about a boy living in a polluted area visits a strange isolated man called the Once-ler in the Street of the Lifted Lorax. The boy pays the Once-ler fifteen cents, a nail, and the shell of a great-great-great grandfather snail to hear the legend of how the Lorax was lifted away.
The Once-ler tells the boy of his arrival in a beautiful valley containing a forest of Truffula trees and a range of animals. The Once-ler, having long searched for such a tree as the Truffula, chops one tree down and uses its wool-like foliage to knit a Thneed, an impossibly versatile garment. The Lorax, who “speaks for the trees” as they have no tongues, emerges from the stump of the Truffula and voices his disapproval both of the sacrifice of the tree and of the Thneed itself. However, the first other person to happen by purchases the Thneed for $3.98, so the Once-ler is encouraged and starts a business making and selling Thneeds.
The Once-ler's small shop soon grows into a factory. The Once-ler's relatives all come to work for him and new vehicles and equipment are brought in to log the Truffula forest and ship out Thneeds. The Lorax appears again to report that a small bear, who eat Truffula fruits, are short of food and must be sent away to find more. The Lorax later returns to complain that the factory has polluted the air and the water, forcing the Swans and Fish to migrate as well. At that moment one of his machines fells the very last Truffula tree.
Without raw materials, the factory shuts down and the Once-ler's relatives leave. The Lorax says nothing but with one sad backward glance lifts himself into the air and disappears behind the clouds. Where he last stood is a small monument engraved with a single word: “UNLESS”. The Once-ler ponders the message for years, in solitude.
In the present, his buildings falling apart around him, the Once-ler at last realizes out loud what the Lorax meant: UNLESS someone cares a great deal, the situation will never improve. He then gives the boy the last Truffula seed and urges him to grow a forest from it, saying that if the trees can be protected from logging then the Lorax and all the animals may return.
The good points of this book is to realize how important the enviroment around us and we also need to take advice from others not only listen to ourselves.I recommend this book because it is interesting and it has a lot of good points.
