Issues presented in novel

1.depiction of business and corporate life

There are three jewelry companies in the novel as the background of each character, which halcyione in England, Dexter mining corp in colombia, and corraldo in italy. at the beginning of the novel's three companies competing. the era in which the novel is told in jewelry is very important for use a patrician . Justin as the holder of the company halcyione so cunning in order to maintain or his company until his heart to kill his own sister and harm his stepfather, here seen that justin willing to do anything for halycioneand get what he want.

2.divorce
            The most important thing for a child is the love of parents and the attention given parents. Here justin as a child of the victim has a terrible divorce from the father's harsh discipline and seem cruel, he's grown into a child who is covered and has selfish and strange that he should be brought to swetzerland for medicine. He was allegedly in psychiatric disorders since childhood his father often locked in the torture chamber (eton). he hates his mother and her twin sister and even his father who raised him, no one is sure that he believes in this world. His thought always filled with anger and prejudice, especially when he hurt because flick (a woman who is in love justin) married with his friends who are not his like. This is made worse off. but this is contrary to the natural flame on, he grew into a fine woman, cheerful, and full of spirit, because she always get love and attention. parental divorce is not a problem for the flame.

No one knows if justin kill george because he pretended george save time, instead justin is considered a hero by everyone. written in the paper "oxford hero saves boy chum from drowing".

Evaluation and conclusion

1.Like and dislike

The jewelled web is romantic genre, I liked this novel because the plot is interesting and easy to follow. especially exciting storyline from the mid to late as the movie but not a cheap soap opera. in the early part to the middle I don’t like, I feel tired and sleepy. because it is still early in the introductions and conversations is not interesting.

2. weak and strong of the story

Before I talk about weaknesses, I will first explain some of the things I think is a feature of this novel is the story in this novel is good, a lot of conflict in the show between each character, the style was easily understood and not convoluted, and I feel in a story in this novel. but there is also its weakness, as the saying goes "there is no ivory that is not cracked" nothing too bad that nobody in this novel, as in the beginning of the story is rather boring and could not read children under the age of 17 years because quite a lot of sex.

3.Important insight and lessons

In this novel there are many good lessons. when you fall in love with someone you do not expect to be married to him or her because nothing is certain in this world, it may be an hour ahead say love but who can guarantee that love will be with you always. behave so mediocre, because as they say once " mate that would not run anywhere". then the divorce cases as at present in this novel, justin as a child of divorce victims who felt ignored and not getting enough love from both parents. be collapsed and has strange properties, as a parent should not have to be hard . although the intention of it being hard for the good. mentally a child will be formed when he was a child and would be imprinted when he was an adult.

4. Recomendation

I recommend this book to a special aged 17 years and over, because the book is good and interesting to read. But I don’t to recomended the book for children under 17 years old because this novel there are some parts that aren’t appropriate for read.
