      This book contains theree storise." The Girl with Green Eyes","south for he Winter"and "Mr Harris and the Night Train".All of these stories are witten about on the train.It is interesting for me to read because this story is little far from my life, so I read this book as SF. After I finished reading this book, I want to travel by train. I have never ride the train with bed, so I want to ride the train and talk others.

      This book has three short stories.Its name is "ONE-WAY TICKET", so these stories are in the train.I want that these stories aren't real because I take trains every morning.I think these stories have a bad aftertaste.

      Julie taked a train with her husband,Bill.There was the tall man in front of her.They never talked but...I think it is very strange story.I can't understand why they got off the train together.MOreover,Bill did't do anything when they got off.If I were him, I would stop her.

      This book has three shot stories.Each story are different but all story is written what happen in same train.I think the third story is the best because I never read about ghosts's story.It was very interesting.On the other hand,other stories are boring.

      There are three　 stories in the book. Each story is about train,so you can feel trip. First is a couple story, they are going foreign by train . second story is a man who likes journey by train, the last one is a little horror.I enjoyed the book. At first, I felt first story was boring, but when I read the story's ending, my feeling was changed. I was surprised at the ending. I also enjoyed third story. As there are history and reality's mix, and horror, I felt little scared. I think this book is worth reading.

      This is a collection of short stories about adventures on trains. First story is strange and third story is frightening, but they all happens on trains.All stories are very strange, but interesting. In the first story, I learnt that people don't always need words. In the second story, I learnt that people cannot be understood only on trains.

      There are three short stories which happened on the train. First is the story of a girl who has green eyes. She is traveling with her husband, but she was very bored. And the man of a few words is sitting in front of her.This book is easy to read because each story is short. I like first story .I think the first story means love comes suddenly.

      There are three short stories which happened in the train. First is story of a girl with green eyes. She is going to travel with her husband. But she was very boring... Second is story of a man who is traveling around various countries. One day, He met two nice girls and they promised to meet again in Sofia... Third is story of a man who encountered the murder scene.I like travel by train very much. So, these stories are very interesting for me. But, I think that any story is not a good story. When I travel by train, I want not to happen these things.

      This book have three stories of passengers of a train. There are three different people. The first is the story of a couple, the second is that of a carefree young man and the third story is that of a sensible middle-aged man. I like the first story.In the first story, there are a beautiful young wife and her new husband, Bill. When they are in train, Bill taik and get along with other passenger. The train arrive a station, he notice that his wife who was sitting a seat is not there.　She got off the train and go somewhere with other man who Bill don't know. I thought that love is sudden. I think the word "People don't always need words" is interesting.

      This book consist of three stoies. These three stories are concerning to the train. All main charactor couldn't ride return train.I think second story is good. One day, the man roe a train. In same seat, there were two people. One was woman and the other is man. they were sibling. They were quarreling.A quarrel became heated and elder sister stabbed younger brother to death.Man went out from the seat, and asked the help...I think oll of these story is terrible and interesting.But I couldn't understand the third story. Why the man had a lot of money?
    • 4/5
      This book has three stories.These three stories were terrible incident on the train.Especialy,a story that a main character saw a ghost of murder was very horrible for me.I coldn't get to sleep whith fear that night!
