Elements and Style: Caroline uses great first perspective but in the book changes who it's coming from for a bit. It fits well with modern day time and creates a thick details to support main events. You have to pay attention to lots of little parts in the story. This story really was a great thriller and I just couldn't stop reading it.

Characterization: The starting of this book Caroline creates slacker for her main character and you don't find him interesting. But then later in the story when Mitty starts to think he has smallpox you can see that his character changing into a harder thinker and he becomes real interesting. By the end of the book I found that Mitty was a totally different character and someone I might want to be.

Plot: This book starts off with Mitty Blake a rich high school slacker procrastinating on a biology project on infectious diseases. So he starts looking for books on his topic which is smallpox and he finds an envelope with some old smallpox scabs that he touches and breaths in. The book then describes how he is thinking and realizes he might have smallpox. So Mitty goes online and posts questions about smallpox and how to treat it. He gets some messages back from different people and one wants to schedule a interview with him because they are currently in the same city as him which is Manhattan, New York. He is found by the person and is about to go in the car with them when he freaks out and starts running away but then he rethinks about it and turns around gets in the car and is hit over the head with a hard object knocking him out. He finds himself in a warehouse basement and has to outsmart his captors and then get out of the warehouse. When he does he turns out he doesn't have smallpox because the scabs where to old so the virus had already died. Though he did have to go to the hospital because of of the wounds his kidnappers had given him.
