1st post of Everlost

I decided to read the book everlost because it was one of the three books in the trilogy that included my last book (unwind). So far i really like this book because it fits my interests with the sci-fi category.

So far you find out that two kids both about the age of 14 or 15 die in separate but related car crashes and somewhere on their way to heaven they bump into each other and find themselves in a half/in between life and world called Everlost. They wake up in Everlost after a 9 month stupor that most children have when first entering the separate world. They meet a boy that they later name Leif, who had been waiting 9 months by their body's for them to wake up. I thought that this part was kind of weird because it shows that there is no stress on time in Everlost because the ones trapped there are doomed to stay in the half world eternally.

So far this book has really gained my attention and i read it as much as i can because it is so interesting and different.

So far my book has been very fast paced and very exciting. It made me want to read the whole book and that's what I did. Right now I am waiting for the next book in the series to come from the library.

Since I last blogged Connor and Risa have been moved from the Unwind warehouse to a place called the graveyard, which is also a safe house for unwinds. The leader at this camp goes by "the general" because he is a retired army General. He is a very mysterious man and i don't know if I trust him. He keeps acting in weird ways sending kids off on missions and none of them return. All of the kids have sneaking suspicions about him that he is actually harvesting them himself and taking their body parts for himself. The General also has this group of older kids that he uses as guards called the golden ones. Suddenly one day the golden ones go missing and the General finds them in a crate. This part was really creepy and twisted but it started to explain a lot of things that the book hadn't cleared up.

The book Unwind is one of the best books I have ever read, it gives you the creeps but you still want to read more of it.

At this point in the book everything begins to become a little more confusing with Lev being separated from Connor and Risa. You also meet Cyfi in this section and Connor and Rissa are sent to an unwind warehouse.

I really enjoyed this section of the book mainly because of the character Cyfi. He is an Umber colored boy that Lev meets in a mall. Cyfi is very interesting though because he has another boys frontal lobe, causing him to have small premonitions/urges brought on by the other boys emotions. At first this was very confusing to grasp but I found that the boy transfers his emotions through Cyfi. After this the book switches back to the viewpoints of Connor and Risa. At this point in their journey they come to a safe warehouse for unwinds where they live for the next 2-3 weeks. During this time the character known as Roland starts to build alliances with people through psychological warfare. This part was also interesting because it is funny to watch connor get in many fights with people over silly arguments.

So far i really like the book and I am actually almost done with it. I will just have to go back and do my blogs after i finish it.

I chose this book because it seemed the most interesting in class and i tend to like books that deal with the future. Also the cover looked very cool so i also based my desicion off of that.

So far i find the book kind of confusing. The main characters keep mentioning unwinding without explaining it. So far the boy Connor finds out that he is going to be unwound and he decides to run away with his girlfriend. when it comes time to run away his girfriend Ariana decides that she will stay home. This kind of confused me because it came after along talk with Connor that she had where she promised to him sincerly that she would go with him. Eventually he decides to just leave on his own.

At this point the book seems a little confusing but I know that it will get better.

The White darkness pages 34 -52

At this point i am starting to get a little nervous when Victor's character is mentioned. He is starting to become more and more creepy in many different ways.

Now right here in the book Sym finds out that Victor had stolen her mothers passport so that they could have time alone in Paris. Victor also surprises Sym by planning a trip to the Antarctic, which is the place she has dreamed of going for years. Victor then suddenly starts to get rid of all of syms belongings as if she doesn't need them. I found this to be very unsettling because she has no idea what he is doing and she does nothing to stop him. And towards the end of this section she is sort of catching on to his plot to not return from the arctic but she doesn't entirely.

So this book is starting to get very intense and nerve racking with Sym not knowing what Victor is doing and With Victor being very sly with his actions.

The White Darkness pages 17 - 33

So far I have found this book to be very interesting and kind of different then the kind of books I normally read. I tend to read mystery books but this is more of an adventure book. So this book has been different to me as i have been reading.

At this point in the book Sym and Uncle Victor make it To Paris and they start to wander the city. I found this part a bit weird because Victor Wouldn't allow Sym to call her mother and instead suggested eating first. They Then proceeded to their hotel and as Sym feel asleep Victor leaves her alone while he goes out to conduct "business". As he is out and about Sym finds her mothers passport in Victors coat pocket. This I found very interesting because when they were leaving there house to go to Paris Sym's mother suddenly couldn't find her passport. If this had happened to me i would immediately try to get away from Victor since he stole the passport and he must be up to no good being out so late at night.

Now I am starting to not like Victor anymore since he stole Sym's mothers passport. This must mean that victor is planning something that would not have been approved by his mother. So it should be exciting to see what happens next.

white darkness pg. 1-17

I chose this book because it looked interesting and because it was over 300 pages. I read the inside cover of the book before I began to read and it seemed enticing. Those are the reasons i chose to read the White Darkness.

This book is about a named Symone who has little to no friends and she often confides with Titus Oates (an explorer who died exploring the south pole). At first i was kind of confused when she was talking to Titus Oates, I thought that she was physically talking to somebody but it turned out that she was having conversations with him in her head. I didnt really like the first 10 pages because they were rather bland and uninteresting, she mostly talked about her horrible life and she sidetracked from the main plot of the book by talking about how much she d her teachers. Towards the end of this section She and her Uncle board a train for Paris Without Sym's Mother because she forgot her passport. "Its a common mistake," said Uncle Victor, ing open the newspaper. "Lack of organization. Success comes down to getting organized. Keeping your eye on the ball. Think on sym." I think that this part was Interesting and true because if you become unorganized then you will lose or misplace things of importance.

So far i like the book and find it interesting while being funny. Uncle Victor is my favorite character because he is smart and witty, always knowing the answers to anything. I hope that the rest of the book is as good as its been so far.

The Germans are starting to have restrictions binding them/ not allowing them (the jews) to do things that they would normaly do in their normal daily routine. This restricted them to being able to do next to nothing.
