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!

P5) The Chaos Code


Robin and Matt tried to track his father's work to see how well he has done, but there have been some complications. this would be like how his father 'jumped' to conclutions. they couldn't track his work diresctly, so they can't find any more evedience. thankfuly Mr Harper (an asociet) sent one of his assistance to retrive venture and Matt and Robin to their secret hideout. this is in the middle of the jungle and not visible for the satalites, because it is behind the third largest waterfall. Here is my guess for the future: Mr Venture is actually the head of the whole movement, he wants it for the money of the scrolls and diomonds. Mr harper too tryies to kill Mr venture so he can get the money. you find out that Robin is actually 2000 years old, or something. And Matt lets her almost die, but some how they live and they live rich with the money of atlantis. i could be wrong, but hey, this is a good guess.

P4) The Chaos Code


On the front cover of the book, there is a quote by Herbie Brennan saying, “One of the scariest things I’ve read in years.”  At first I thought this was not scary at all, but instead very interesting. Now, I can see why he said it was scary. To lead up to the scariness, you may need to know some things. So when Matt goes to his aunts, the secret message rings in his head until he realizes another part of the message. His father mentioned Latin, randomly. Then afterword he said that it may be quite an adventure. Matt knew that in Latin ‘ad’ means to go and venture was his aunt’s boss. Matt never mentioned any of this to his aunt, Venture, or his daughter (Matt’s new friend Robin). A business man comes into play and discusses with venture, soon to be everybody, the situation of Matt’s dad. Now I know that there are other ‘forces’ wanting the info that Matt’s dad was searching for – the lost treasure of St Paul. This is when hundreds of men saved hundreds of scrolls and millions of dollars of Constantinople before it was destroyed. Now it is mysteriously gone. These forces are after the money and not the knowledge. While everybody is busy looking stuff up, Matt snoops around and finds something like a CD only old and thick with pictures and all on it. When he went back, Matt was told to copy disks onto the computer in the library. Now here is the creepy part. Matt lit the candles in the library to read a book, when Robin appeared behind him. He facing the door and it didn’t move, yet Robin just appeared. They talked and Matt told Robin about someone trying to hurt him at his dad’s house. He said, “The hand was rough, it felt almost like sandpaper.” At that Robin gasped and said, “You shouldn’t of lit the candles,” as she blew them out and left him in the library. This is when I could hear like in a movie the high pitch screaming and sounds that creep you out. Here is what I would imagine Robin to be like:

P3) The Chaos Code

Now to give an update for The Chaos Code. I am about 50 pagwes into it. I had to stop reading this for a while because in health class because i was reading The Fat Boy Chronicals, which explains the last post, so that I couldn't confuse the two books together. Anyways, this book is very getting interesting. Secret messages and codes, strange places and people, and a misterious unexplainable creature. You already know about the creature, so I will not elaberarte on that any more. So with the messages, the father that has dissapeared of the face on the planet had written a letter to give to his son the main character. this led him to a website that he had to uncrack to get in. In the website, it is another coded letter to tell him to go to his aunts house an get help from her boss. The original letter and the other letter will help him find his father and whatever else he was up to, and possibly to creature. this to that and that to this. i'm getting dizzy.

P2) Fat Boy Chronicals

Another book that I am reading is called The Fat Boy Chronicals. This is a book about the troubles and bullying that teenagers have faced in High School. This boy, named Jimmy, is way over wieght with extreem obesity at age fourteen. His doctor has told him if he doesn't change now, he will have diabetes for the rest of his life. Jimmy is always face with ridicule and torchure by other students every day in school. He now has gotten a weight loss machine and has lost over thirty pounds in weeks. he felt bad for his freind because he has extreem obesity and people pick on him worse and do terrible things behind his back. It suddenly hit him that people do the same things to him behind his back, which hs him contemplate suicide.
You know, I thought at first that this book is just going to be another reading assignment, only in health class, but it is actually very interesting. Here is a fun-fact: this story is actually based on a kid from Mason. I know, I didn't belive it at first either. What shoked me was that the story talkes about people doing drugs, alcohol, parties, and I just can't imagine this happening in Mason. Mabey where I used to live, but not here.
