These four books have significant differences between the hardest and they easiest. In total they have 1324 pages, allowing me to read approximately 221 pages per week. I chose to put Crown by Kiera Cass as my less difficult book because I read it the fastest and did not have to stop and re-read. I also did not have to try to explain the story to myself because the plot wa straightforward and it is the fifth book in the series. I determined to put Can 't Look Away by Donna Cooner in the second bubble because although it was a nice read and a good story, I lost interest and found it hard to finish the book. This novel was an attempted read and I wish I could 've finished it, but I got distracted with the absence of a plot near the middle of the novel. …show more content…

FirstLife by Gena Showalter is my second most difficult or third least difficult novel on my reading ladder because it has several more difficult words and was hard to understand due to plot twists and mixed messages. The difference between FirstLife and Can 't Look Away is the amount of pages I had to read. FirstLife has 438 pages and was a little confusing, when Can 't Look Away has 272 pages, making less pages it a little more bearable then lots of pages. It gives me more confidence when I read fast and well. Finally I chose to put Cradle and All by James Patterson as my hardest book because frankly I did not understand it. I am trying to read more difficult novels, but I think I chose one a little too far outside my comfort zone. The plot is understandable but the language the author uses rather difficult for me to read. To sum it up, these books are all good choices and I would recommend them, but sometimes I just have to deal with what I can

the second half of the story the plot digresses from that and becomes more about trying to bust the coach for his wrong doings. It left me scratching my head as to why, when, where and how something happened far too often. Although the plot is a bit convoluted at times it is fairly good as a whole. I feel this book has a fairly sub-par plot and supporting characters but the great protagonist is what is keeping this book afloat. Without him this book would not have been a below average book

The way that Michael Shaara has written this novel shows how truly wonderful he was as an entertaining writer. There was one thing that I did not like about it and that was the pace. I would have liked if the author would have written before the date of June 29th, and explained a little more of what was happening. Another little critique I would make would be to not drag on the days so intensely.

The plot is probably my favorite part of the book. For example, in the beginning of the book, Ben thinks that the school is under attack, but in reality it was a test of Ben’s skills. This unexpected turn of events keeps readers on the edge of their seats, wondering what will happen next. Another example of the plot's twists occurs when Ben discovers that his classmates are not who they seem. He is initially thrilled to be accepted into a prestigious school, but he soon realizes that some of his fellow students may be double agents working for the enemy.

I also thought this book was difficult to read because it uses dense details that were hard to understand.
