The Pleasure of Reading Detective Novel
I like reading, especially for detective novel. I love recreating the scene from the novel in my mind, and I’m really fancy the bright detective who are created by the writer. However, some people argue that reading detective novel is nothing but a waste of time, since you have the time to read, why don’t you read some book that could learn useful knowledge. But I cannot agree with it.
In the first place, reading detective novel is a good way to learn lots new knowledge from one book. For instance, almost all of the detective novel included the knowledge of investigation, psychology, behavior analysis, and some even involved the aspect of physical and chemistry. The writer perfectly used that knowledge to write into the fiction, which make the reader learn it naturally. Hence, reading detective novel is not a bad thing, it will help you review your academic knowledge and learn something you don’t know before.
In the second place, reading detective novel is like some kind of brainstorming game. When you are reading novel which is every exciting, your mind will follow the plot that will set your wits to work. On another word, reading a detective novel is not only could make you feel relaxed but also could make you become smarter than before.
To sum up, there is great benefit to read detective novel. You could totally enjoy the pleasure that the intelligent detective bring to you，and you could be smarter.
