My impression about the book

You should read "The Australian Connection" because it is a litte and nice story which is not difficult to understand. Of course there are some words I didnt know but now I learnt them.
If you're interessted in books with adventures and some romance this is the right book. For other purpils it could be a little bit bouring because the auther wrote it in another way than other authers. Although if he wrote the mounth when Alex was in Australia with much of information, I sometimes missed details.
In my opinion you have nothing to lose when you read the book. So have fun with "The Australian Connection".

Mini Saga of chapter nine and ten

first: A Mini Saga is a short summary with exacly 50 words.

I chapter nine/ ten the band looses success. A reason for that is that Joe and Pete drink a lot and become racists. The band seperates and Dani moves with Alex to England. There they found a new band named "The Dolphins" and Alex sees Tom as a friend now.

Chapter Eight: Up to the top...

task: Read chapter 8. Which situation was most exciting or interesting? Give your opinion in about 3-5 sentences (ONLY). Then invite your blog team members (BTM) to give their opinion. You should go to all your BTM to say what you think about their findings.

For me is the most interessting situiation on page 48, line 23 to 29, because there are the first austere thoughts of Alex disagreeing with Dani. I think it's not only about their different thoughts. Alex thinks ample (weitläufig) and probably he doesn't feel so good anymore concerning to travel with the band and have the hidden agenda (Hintergedanke) to be unsure if they stay a long time in the top ten.
To my BTM: Do you agree? What's your opinion?
