The critic, Cinnamon B from New York City, critiques the book Assuming Names by Tanya Thompson. They loved the fact that the story seemed too out there and far-fetched for it to actually happen, but Tanya has the evidence to support it. I agree with this critic because the book was spectacular with the ammount of details there are and the emotional rollercoaster Tanya puts us on. It is almost like we are her and living through herself. The deatils definitly bring us back in time to when this happened.

It brought Cinnamon back in time, making them feel like they were eye wintnessing the whole book and every action Thompson made.

Some crew members were feeding them bread and I had some to give to them too, but then there was a wave, and I fell and my hand went through the fence. I can’t even tell you what exactly cut me, but it was a sharp part of the chain link fence.” This shows that Thompson painted a picture of what happen on the boat and how she got the cut on her wrist. I was in awe when how descriptive this was and how it took me back to “what happend and how she got the scrape.” Thompson uses descrpitive words to describe the setting, mood, and the emotions that she was feeling at that time. Thompson took all of the readers on an emotional roller coaster of “fear, humor, excitement, and so much more.” I agree with the critic that the emotional roller coaster never stopped and even when you thought it did, something else happened to continue it. Every twist and turn through the book left you on the edge of your seat and wanted you to never put the book down. The emotions and the deatils of her situation pulled you into Thompsons position and what she had to go through. (EXAMPLE FROM THE
