Belly Up is a Book to Read!
Sometimes people judge a book by their cover, but that should not be how you rate a book. Belly Up may seem silly just by looking at the cover, or it may seem to short and boring, but it is entertaining, realistic, and the suspense keeps you reading. Belly Up should be a book readers consider, and it is definitely worth reading.
Many people like books that are sometimes not so serious, more of a light-hearted book. That is exactly what Belly Up is like. The book is not only fun to read, but it is amusing as well. According to KirkLand Reviews, “the book is action-packed, great fun, and a very entertaining read.” The book has a lot of humor that is shown through the characters. There is also an interesting plot which is about a 12-year-old boy investigating the murder of a hippo with peritonitis. This is entertaining because it is told from the perspective of that 12-year-old boy. This makes it a fun-to-read book and a very exciting book as

well. This book is also really great because it takes the liveliness of a zoo and inserts it into the book. The author also takes the action of many characters and adds that to the vigor of the book. However, to really immerse yourself in a book, you must have characters to relate to and a realistic setting. Most people would read a book that has relatable characters in the plot or as the protagonist.
Many people may prefer a setting and time period that matches their own or is realistic. Belly Up fits both of those necessities. There are numerous examples of relatable experiences in the book Belly Up. For example, there are many times in which the protagonist or main character is sneaking around doing investigations. Other times, the central character is making up lies and deviating from following directions. Both of those signify that this book has relatable experiences. Most of the scenes in the story are very easy to imagine, deeming them realistic. For the most part, the scene is a loud and rambunctious zoo, with few exceptions. This makes the story good because it makes it easier to follow along and most of all, experience the plot as if they are in the book themselves. This component of the book definitely makes the book easier to grasp, book the aspect that makes the book exciting is the
suspense. The most meaningful feature of a mystery is its suspense. Too little, and it may not keep the reader engaged, too much, and it satisfies, but does not seem exceptional. Belly Up has just the right amount and that is the main reason readers should put this book at the top of their priority reading list.The author, Stuart Gibbs, builds up excitement in the book gradually, giving you suspense then revealing something. At any point in the book, you are engrossed and want to keep reading because of the timing of suspense and reveal. Another factor is the plot twist near the end of the book. It creates excitement just when you think you know the antagonist. The descriptiveness of the story and the details in the plot help with the anticipation, making it so that it maintains its power throughout the book. This is the thing that keeps the book appealing to the very last page. Some people may argue that the book is too short, but most people will agree that it is of reasonable length, and most of all, the book is very detailed, so it may be just like reading a more elongated book. Other people have said that this book is not very exciting in the beginning, but the excitement builds up so there is much more at the end. This makes it much better because it has excitement to keep you reading even when other books might not. Lastly, people argue that there may not be as much action in this book as in other books, but I argue that it makes it more realistic, which is probably more preferable than an action packed story that is obscure and hard to understand. In conclusion, Belly Up is an exceptional book to read because of its suspense that makes it exciting. The light-heartedness makes it fun and entertaining. Last of all, the realisticness helps you connect and engage with the book. Belly Up is definitely a book people should read.
This book was rather easy to read but could be rather difficult to understand as their was a lot happening with Calliope blacking out then coming back to reality and to have written a whole paragraph if words without knowing, this book would be good for a year 12 book club because even if they can't relate the characters in the book directly they still in a way can connect with them in a way whether it be they have a mental disorder or a compulsion to do something or if the are in a
Fans of the novel found that the way the novel is written, you never want to put it down and the action keeps things moving and is quite entertaining. The novel pulls you in and makes you love each of the main characters in it. This is a great series for anyone to read, and it is audience friendly for whoever reads them. There is quite a bit of suspense that will make the novel exceed readers 's expectations, and the twists and turns keeps you guessing and lets nothing be predictable. Some like the way this group of people bands together when they really need to and keep things together so they can all stop the
To me, the challenging part of the book was reading a book on a topic that I do not know much about. I am starting to become familiar with the legal system, however I am nowhere near that of a lawyer. This is why I stumbled at times on some of the legal lingo that the book contained. In addition to that, I did find myself with a better understanding of our legal system. I felt like I was along for the ride on the whole legal process. Also, I would like to note that I thoroughly enjoyed the chapter on the autopsy because I thought it was very interesting how they performed those procedures in that time period. I loved the detail that the author went into when describing how it all took place.
I found the book to be easy, exciting reading because the story line was very realistic and easily relatable. This book flowed for me to a point when, at times, it was difficult to put down. Several scenes pleasantly caught me off guard and some were extremely hilarious, namely, the visit to Martha Oldcrow. I found myself really fond of the char...
Over this entire novel, it is a good novel for children. It train children how to think logically, and notes people we should cherish our family, and people around us, very educate. Children can learn true is always been hide.
Once I get past all of the rambling I did in the past paragraphs, I honestly really enjoyed the book. Though it wasn't like most of the other books I’ve read (meaning I didn't cry during the process of reading it), the characters were just as provokingly interesting as the characters in other stories, it was a little edgy and made me want to yell at it, shouting at Sam when she wouldn’t let Tyler play video games with Danny, or Danny when he called to have Sam and Tyler taken to a separate facility. Overall, this book opened me up to something that just isn't a romance novel. This story really shows that there are people with a lot of difficulties in their lives, and that’s what I liked the most about it.
I would recommend this book to people who love realistic stories. Personally for me it is hard to find books that interest me and this one felt like if I was watching someone else's life while I read it. It has so many interesting points. When you think something might happen
There are several things that I like about this book. First off, I love historical fiction, and this is the genre of this book. Also, despite the author being too descriptive, the book went at a steady pace. For me, pace usually determines whether I will read the book or not, and I never really hesitated, or thought about changing books.
It is both easy and hard to read, because while most of the words s someone in 7th grade can understand or confidently infer, the puzzles are hard, and you mostly rely on the characters in the story for their answer unless you are a really g good puzzle solver. The characters were well developed, and were interesting to see them interact with each other. The plot moved slowly at first, ad got faster and faster, but it was always just the right pace for the current situation. It was interesting, as there was always something to think about. I only got bored slightly in the first chapter, but that was because it was setting up everything. It got better and better after that. I recommend it to people who like mysteries. I would recommend it to these people because they will be used to the kind of slow start, and will appreciate it for all its
Lastly I can relate to the book because of my horrendous bloody noses. In the novel it reads “Blood gushed from Eddies nose like a faucet turned on high,” page 536. I often get bloody serveral bloody noses within a few months. When I get a bloody nose there's no stopping it, it is exactly like a faucet turned on high. My bloody noses are often due to the dry air; in the book their bloody noses are due to the toxic air. I really felt the character pain when the book described the way their nose just kept on gushing, and
The mindset of every living organism is to survive and reproduce. As such, it may be surprising to hear that diseases actually plays a crucial role in the survival of our predecessors. In the book Survival of the Sickest, Dr. Sharon Moalem discusses the role these hereditary disorders played in keeping our very ancestors alive. Three examples mentioned in the reading selection include hemochromatosis, diabetes, as well as favism. All the diseases I mentioned had a specific aspect, to which I found particularly appealing. In the case of hemochromatosis, I found it intriguing how the author used his own life to draw a connection between the two traits. Dr. Sharon Moalem lost his grandfather to hemochromatosis and later was diagnosed with the
I really enjoyed this book because it was not a story about the middle of the Second World War. Instead it was right before, when things were not as bad, but they were bad enough. It helped me understand how people lived before the hatred grew and how families were torn apart right from the beginning. Likewise, it gave me hope to see that not everything was destroyed and that some people were able to escape. I would recommend this book more for boys but for girls as well, between the ages of 13-15. Even though Karl’s age throughout the book is 14-17, the novel was written more for my age group. Once again this was an amazing book that I could not put down, and I am sure many others were not able to either.
There are no complaints that can be made about this book. The dialogue really helps the reader understand what is going on. It helps the reader understand more because they can get a feel of what is actually happening in the story. The reader feel like they are right there on the Titanic. People should read this book because it is a very fascinating and exciting book. This book appeals to everyone because it is very interesting and everyone can learn something about the Titanic from the book, that they did not know before. This book should be rated a 10 out of 10 because the book is written very well. It is easy to understand everything that happens to the Titanic. The author made it so people could actually learn something about the Titanic but still make the book interesting. It is better than most other nonfiction books. Titanic Voices From The Disaster does not just tell what happens like other nonfiction books do. The author made it so the book is like reading a nonfiction book. But, the book still had all of the information that was needed to learn about the Titanic. In conclusion Titanic Voices From The Disaster is one of the best nonfiction books in the
Next time when I pick up a book, I will try to judge it by the cover. I that the book was great. I definitely encourage others to read it. Everyone could benefit from reading it, whether they want to start their own business or not. This book teaches about self-confidence, work ethic, and
The descriptions of fishing procedures and equipment are often confusing, they are a vital part of the plot. Which gives the reader a better insight to what these fishermen went though. Without these details, readers would not be able to picture the dangers of the storm the way Junger wanted them to. The book is interesting, but never melodramatic. There is just enough tension in the conflict between man and nature to keep readers on the edge of their seats. Junger never tries to saturate his readers with so much emotion that they roll their eyes in disgust. He makes the fear and desperation realistic and believable.
