They end the book with you still being in question. The way Rick Yancey writes his story is brilliant. It is brilliant, because he ends the books so you don't know the end yet. You are left clueless. He ends the story in a way that you'll have to read the next book. You are left you with questions that you want answered. The only way to answer the questions you may have is to read the next book for an explanation. The fictional characters were extremely unique and creative. To me a creative story is more powerful than those that are dull and more so boring. Since this book is so unique, I think that made it a more powerful
story. What really stood out to me in my opinion, was the different point of views from the characters. There were about three different main characters who switched throughout the book. It was compelling to try to figure out which character was telling the story when the narrator would change. I like the fact that I had to read until I could find enough clues to see who was telling the story. The story showed weakness with some explanations. I think some things weren't as clear to understand, and I had to reread a few pages to completely understand the plot. It was fictional, so that meant the story isn't real. The made up characters are others which are like aliens. I would find it hard occasionally to imagine some things in the story because it just seemed so bizarre to me. If you plan on reading this story, I highly suggest that you read the first book before hand. You will be completely lost if you don't read the first one. I read the first one, and I just had to read the next one. It has made up things, but if you don't read the first novel you won't know what some of the things mentioned in the second book are. The Infinite Sea is a superb book. It definitely is one of those stories you pick up and not let go til you've read it from beginning to end. It is a powerful story, it will surely keep you engaged until the very last page. The uniqueness presents the audience with vivid attraction to the novel. After reading you should know do not trust anyone!
The “Dark Tide” by Stephen Puleo was the first book to tell the full story of “The Great Boston Molasses Flood.” The reason he wrote the nonfiction novel was to give the full accounting of what happened in the historical context. He used court records, newspaper accounts, and files from the fire department. He recrafted the tale about what actually happened with painstaking and terrifying details of those affected. Puleo creates a new way to view the dreadful catastrophe as something that changed Boston (“Dark Tide”).
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
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...
The ending of this book was a cliffhanger. In my opinion that is the worse kind of ending, but that’s how that writing persuades the reader to get the next book in the series. Without giving too much away about the end of the story, it was very unexpected. To be
I did not like the ending of the story. I found that the ending was very predictable and anticlimactic, especially when all the tension was being built up throughout the rest of the book. When I was nearing the end of the book I was already starting to envision the ending of the book and when I got to the end I was disappointed to see that I was correct. I would have preferred if the ending was more of a cliff-hanger and ended completely different than anyone would have expected.
“Black Power”, the word alone raises an abundance of controversial issues. Black power was a civil rights movement led by the black panthers which addressed several issues including segregation and racism. Black power had a different meaning to every member of the Mc Bride family, Ruth and James both looked at black power from a different angle. In “The Color of Water”, The author James Mc Bride admired the black panthers at first, but slowly he grew afraid of them after fearing the consequences his mother might face for being a white woman in a black community influenced by black power. James’ worries were baseless, black power’s motive was to educate and improve African American communities not to create havoc or to harm members of the white community.
The Color of Water Book Review In this memoir, the author chooses to have two narrators, himself as one, and his mother as the other. This style makes for quite an interesting story, skipping back and forth in time, from the child's life, to that of his mother. Although many time changes occur, they are quite easy to keep up with, as the two narrator's of the book, James, and his mother, alternate chapters. For this reason, it is also very easy to compare the childhood of each of the main characters. Although the chapters aren't always during the same time periods of the respective characters, they are close enough that similarities can be seen, and parallels can be drawn.
I think my favorite thing about this novel was the realistic ending. Some books try to just give you a fairy tale but this book had an ending that mad you think in the end if I was in the same position would I do the same thing. I didn’t like the fact that the novel portrayed mental illness in a way to say that it needed to be hidden and protected. I thought this novel was very believable for the time period that it was set in. I think the ending to this novel was perfect it was an accurate ending to this

The book and the movie were both very good. The book took time to explain things like setting, people’s emotions, people’s traits, and important background information. There was no time for these explanations the movie. The book, however, had parts in the beginning where some readers could become flustered.
It was driven by its strong characters, relationships, and plot, all of which I really liked. I also think that for such a popular genre, it was very unique. I don’t have any moments that I wish the author hadn’t included because they’re all relevant. They all help develop the storyline. As for moments I loved, I thought the ending was extremely well-written even if it made me sad, surprised, and a bit mad. From this novel I gained a new persepctive on trust. I learned how fragile it is. It’s like a vase, in a way. Once you break it, you can try and piece it back together, but you can still see the
book I was greatly troubled by its ending. I can see why it is an excellent novel, but at
In the article “The City and the Sea”, by Meera Subramanian she says, how Richard George a local artist joined an association called each side Bungalow Preservation Association not knowing nothing about sea surges or dune ecology, with $15,000 that was given to them to just plant trees. Subramanian also says, how the NYC Green Thumb, which is the community garden city network supporter helped with the established plants to be watered through the first susceptible summer. She goes on saying, that on either side from where the dunes ended from Beach 27th street the water from Sandy’s flood penetrated there, so the double-dune system that was a few blocks on both sides was able to protect the place. Subramanian says, how the high-water that mark
The structure of the book played a huge role because his ideas seemed to be out of order. Oftentimes, King was reflecting rather than following the structure of a story line. He would start speaking about one topic and then make a reference back to a situation that occurred at a later date. The style affected the reader’s understanding of King’s situation. The story could be improved if King were to use a different writing style.
