480 Words2 Pages

Today I’m reviewing the novel “Armageddon Summer” by Jane Yolen and Bruce Coville. “Armageddon Summer” is about Jed and Marina going up this mountain top because there parents and the other believers think that the world will end in fire on July 27th. The leader, Reverend Beelson is the one who predicted the end and prophesied that the only way to survive for the new world afoot is going to the mountain top. But for now it’s just the beginning for Marina and Jed relationship for each other. There not even sure what to believe in for now. Is the world going to end? Or is it not? What did I not like about “Armageddon Summer”? First, the book is a bit dramatic than I expected it to be, but I can see the reason for that though I mean it’s almost the end of the world. I really didn’t like Marina’s personality in the book and how she relies on god to make her decisions which I don’t personally like myself. Plus, I thought that they could add more exciting events in the story than what they have now in the book. Finally, I pointed out the reasons why I dislike the book so far but it’s still a pretty good book though. …show more content…

First thing is that it has a good plot. Two people, don’t know for sure if they believe the Armageddon or not and how there lives are affected by their family and religion. I also, like how they narrate both of the main characters lives and how they describe how each other 's reaction to each other when they meet. Including, that the situation that they 're in, would probably happen in the real world because a situation like that can get people into “problems”. Plus, the narration of Jed, I like how he’s knows the facts but still wonders about if it is really true or not and that he’s the only one who feels different about the situation. Which in my opinion makes it more interesting. These are some of the reasons why I like the book and reasons why you should read the book sometime in the

What I didn 't like about my book is that it left me on a cliff hanger. I cannot tell you how much I dislike cliff hangers. They make everything so confusing. For example you have an idea of what the ending will be, then the cliffhangers come around and they put a twist on your theory. They leave you in suspicion wondering about what will happen next, and they make it seem like there is going to be another book, when there isn 't. Sometimes they aren 't annoying, they just make you think about the story, and the purpose of the story in a way.

There are a few things that made this book good. First, I liked how the author used real people that survived Hurricane Katrina as his characters.

and I had no idea what it was about just based off of the title. It was an easy read, and I enjoyed reading it at the same time. It always had you curious as to what will happen and how everything will play out. Through the whole book, it keeps you curious as to if he will get convicted or not and you do not find out until the very end. The only downside is that I did not like the way it was written.

The Infinite Sea, by Rick Yancey, is the second installment in the 5th wave series. A follow up to the New York Times bestseller, The Infinite Sea continues the story of Cassie Sullivan and her friends weathering the inhumane conditions brought on by the “Others”. The book has an intriguing plot, but Rick Yancey focuses too much on the characterization, and makes the book too wordy, killing the momentum of the story therefore boring readers. However the book makes up for this by brilliantly using dialogue to finish with a powerful cliffhanger, captivating those who make it to the end of the book. Being an apocalyptic story, by nature, The Infinite Sea should be filled to the brim with action, as well as a steady uncovering of the secrets

Rick Yancey’s The 5th Wave is perhaps the young adult novel of the season. It’s been accompanied by a massive promotional push, with what seems like every Barnes & Noble in the world pushing it as the inevitable successor to Twilight, Harry Potter, and The Hunger Games. And unlike 2012’s event YA book—John Green’s justly acclaimed The Fault In Our Stars—The 5th Wave has a premise that promises at least two more books to come: There are aliens, and there is a girl, and Earth has been invaded. What next?
