"Well, don't do anything stupid!" Shepherd did not look happy. Sometimes Kirkpatrick wanted a story too much. (p8）
”Harley!" Shepherd was angry."It's going to be OK," said Kirkpatrick. "It's not stupid - it's very clever." (p13)
"I told you, Harley," said Shepherd." I said don't do anything stupid!""OK, OK," said Kirkpatrick. (p18)
"Harley!" she said. "Harley. Listen to me. Oh, OK. Go to sleep, then!" Kirkpatrick was asleep with a smile on his face. Shepherd smiled too, and then she looked back at the road. (p32)
I read the book, "BLOOD DIAMONDS." This book is a mystery story. The main characters are Harley Kirkpatrick, a journalist, and Annie Shepherd, who is his colleague and a journalist, and Erick VAn Delft, a businessman, and Sophie Lafon, who is an owner of a jewelry shop. Blood diamonds are important for a number of people in Africa. They give people work and help them get money. However, people in some countries buy gi\uns with diamonds. We call these diamonds " blood diamonds" because many people die from guns. Harley knows the existence of blood diamonds, and try to reveal how certain businessman sell and buy blood diamonds.
After I read this book, I think it is an ordinary mystery story. However, conversations between Annie and Harley are so funny. As quotations above, Harley always makes Annie annoyed and then Annie is angry but eventually, she forgives him in her mind. Such a relationship is so wonderful and it is a good point in this book. If you get interested in this book, please read it, focusing a dialogue between Harley and Annie.
