A Book Review-The Snake-Stone by Berlie Doherty
The setting:Urban England (the cities),but also rural England (the countryside)including
remote(徧远的)English villages.
The theme():The main theme is a teenage search of self-discovery,in this case the
search for a mother from whom the hero was separated at an early age.Its other concemns are love,
getting on with others,being persistent and courageous and trying to deal with doubts,troubles
and worries.As the book moves to a close,James'swimming coach says to him:"You are not
like a kid obeying(遵守)instructions any more.You are diving(跳水)like a young man who
knows where he is going."
The characters:James is the hero of the story.He is a championship diver,and has a
comfortable life with his foster parents ()Yet he also has the qualities to take him on a
long journey to find his birth mother.The other characters in The Snake-Stone,James'parents,
his diving instructor,best friend,the villagers,people he meets on his joumey,are pictured
realistically.
The turning point:The tumning point in the story comes while James'foster parents are
away in London,and he wonders about the identity of his birth mother.The onty clue he has is
a fossil(化石)，“the snake stone”which'she left behind along with a note on which she had
written:"Take good care of Sammie."It was written on a torn envelope with parts of an address
still there.
