Why I choose the book is very simple reason. Do you know the song which is called California king bed? It is sung by Rihanna. I like the song very much. When I went to Karaoke with Taylor who lived in my house two days as exchange student, I sang the song. It is very very interested for me. I have never forget to sing the song with Taylor. But the book has no mean as California king bed. The bed is very big and California is very big too. American call California ‘The Golden State’. There are gold and silver in the mountains. We can see the great cities, the big park, the beautiful desert in California. The pictures are so good. I want to go there. America made California an American state in 1850. America won the Mexican-America War. There are many earthquake. At 5.13 a.m. on April 18, 1960, there was terrible earthquake in San Francisco. I did not know the fact. The earthquake in San Francisco destroyed about 5000 buildings immediately.
