P8) The Scorch Trials

This book was good enough that I read the entire book in 2 days. now I'm not normally a person who reads a zombie book, but this isn't technically a zombie book. This is about a sun flare that came over the world changing the weather, plant life, and the people with this disease called the Flare. this makes people crazy and have their flesh ripping away - sort of like a zombie. This book is a sequel to The Maze Runner which I had read last year (a great book by the way). Thomas and his group have to go 100 miles while dodging the Flare, the weather, and another group sent to kill Thomas. for motivation the group called WICKED had put the Flare disease already inside of them, forcing them to go and get the cure at the end of the 100 miles. this book is crazy intense and very interesting. And for girls reading this there is drama between love triangles (not a lot though). Also, if you haven't read the first book the some of the terms and references in this book won't make sense, but you could guess what it means. I believe that this series is a copy of The Hunger Games series. I think this because Thomas has been forced into doing as the government tells him, like how Katniss has to participate in fighting other people in the Hunger Games. This also relates with the first book. I would imagine that this relates to the Walking Dead - i don't watch the show, so yea. You can see how from the 'zombies' that are because of an outside cause - not an infection from dead people.

P7) Ender's Game

wow. I can't believe that I haven't blogged about Ender's Game. I already finished that book and another one. Well, let me just give you a quick gist. so in the future the military relies on children because of their quick and original ideas for commanding fleets. they are using children for this purpose because there is a race called the buggers that are attacking humans. Ender was born as a Third instead of the normal two and he was made to be a mix of his loving sister and his deadly brother. Ender gets to go to a space school to learn military tactics for his future. I don't want to give too much away, but let me just say that there is a surprise ending. Also that the movie is amazing but the book blows it out of the water.

P6) The Chaos Code

i have just finished the chaos code and it got really interesting, even though the science behind it may not be entirely acurate. the character Robin has changed so she has to be a dynamic character in the story. she used to have a stone's feelings, and never opened up, but now she can express her thoughts now. and there might be something-something going on between her and matt, if you know what is mean. if you think about it, that is kind-of creapy and disturbing that a 12 year old is in love with a 2000 year old. just gives me shivers. the ending of the book is a bit unexpected, but if you read enough books, then you could predict most of the ending, and plot twists. like most books and movies. even so, i thing it is a good book to read, and for the next blog i am writing about Ender's Game. and if you haven't read this or seen the movie, i suggest you do because this is amazing!
