The Tales Of The Seventies is a historic book, about the 70's
Leila is a elderly women who loves art and poetry, she also met a young boy by the name of Dave, who shares the same liking as her. Leila is very ill, and no one knows what's going on with her sickness. Until one day Zhen takes is upon himself to go and visit the doctor, is it good news or bad news? Is it a life or death situation? Leila lost her parents at a young age, and so did her husband, Zhen. Zhen is keeping a secret about Leila's health. It may be a life or death situation for her, how will he break the news to her? Can he do it before it's too late? Trying to save money for charity for the blind and those with talents, but is it a actual charity or is it a scam? Meet Don, he owns a business taking in homeless and needy people to work for him and earn a living. Something is not right though, this might require some people to go and investigate, Bob and Joan both go out and do some investigating. Stealing a rare animal from a famous zoo may be impossible, but can Lee and Mark pull it off? Or will they get caught? Being a bad boy requires a talent, some attitude, and a bad personality. But with Mack and his high pitched voice, will anyone take him as a bad boy?

David Done did a great job with the Tales Of The Seventies. It wasn't too long or too short. It is filled with short stories that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The positive side of this book was that there wasn't a lot of profanities and mature content, there was one or two profanities, but only in certain chapters of the book.

The aspect I didn't like, was how the chapters of the book ended on a small cliff hanger. I would of liked if the chapters ended on a more casual note, not making me think what happens next or what he/she is referring to. And personally I didn't like the form that some characters spoke in.

All in all, I give this book a 3 out of 4. Just because there were a few spelling and grammar errors in the book, but in my opinion I would of liked the chapters to end better.

Personally I recommend this book to teenagers, or anyone who likes history and short stories. But preferably to teenagers as they would enjoy mystery books, and books that aren't that long.

David Done made a few spelling and grammar errors in the book. Which may be acceptable for some readers, but I didn't like them , but they are manageable.

But all in all, this was a good book, in which I enjoyed reading.
