I went on vacation last week to Assateague Island. When I went I gave myself a challenge. Six books, one week. I brought with me, Flabbergasted, Eon, Flyte (Septimus Heap series #2), The Atlantis Complex (Artemis Fowl series #7), Leviathan and Mountain Pose. I finished Flabergasted, read The Atlantis Complex and Leviathan and began Flyte.
I began Flabergasted a while ago (written by Ray Blackston), but never really gotten into it. It was a book written from a 27-year-old guy's point of view. Not exactly what I'm into. But it was good and I got through it.
I gave up on Eon. It is written well, but it has the dumbest plot, I think. It just drones on and on and ON! I just can't seem to finish it.
The Alantis Complex was another amazing edition to the Artemis Fowl series. This one was a little weird though because Artemis gets a dual personality by the name of Orion who is in love with Holly. Weird, right? But it still was an Artemis Fowl book.
Leviathan was a really good book. I highly enjoyed it. It is written by Scott Westerfeild, best selling author Uglies. It has two main charactures, Alek and Deryn. It is placed in Austia-Hungry, Britain, and Switzerland right as World War I begins. It has a twist to it as Britain and her allies are called the Darwinists who have thier animal-crafts and Austia-Hungry, Germany and thier allies are called the Clankers and have metal walking machines. Unfortunatly, I have to wait for the sequal to come out in oder to finish the story.
I began Flyte the day before leaving on vacation. I haven't gotten that far into it, only the forth chapter, but already you know who one of the bad guys is. I am really looking forward to getting into that book.
But Flyte will have to wait a little while. Today, I was given a book written by a friend of mine's older brother. It isn't published yet, but he was a writting major in college and would like to get it published. His book is called Wingless and is about Faeries who get trapped in our world, adapt and become wingless, all the while hoping that their native people will come and rescue them. I am excited to begin it!
I have not read Mountain Pose at all. A friend of my sister's let me borrow it. I'm not sure how much I will like it, but we shall see.
That's all I have for now,
