I saw your quiz and thought I would see how I did. I often don't score so well in quizzes about my books, because often it is years since I have read them.
But I have read 'The Project' recently, as it has been re-published under its original title of 'The Most Boring Book in the World.'
So I was able to answer most questions correctly.
Thanks for taking the time to make a great quiz!(less)
Brian Falkner Hi! I am glad you enjoyed my visit to your school. Yes I have a new book coming out next month. It is a WWII spy story called: Katipo Joe: Blitzkreig.

Brian and 1 other person liked Kristy's review of Katipo Joe: Spycraft:
Katipo Joe by Brian Falkner
"Even better than the first. A fantastic series to hook college students into. If the size puts them off challenge them to read the first couple of chapters.
Brian Falkner's done a fantastic job. Can't wait for the next one."

“Life is like a book. There are good chapters, and there are bad chapters. But when you get to a bad chapter, you don’t stop reading the book! If you do…
then you never get to find out what happens next!”
Brian Falkner, Super Freak

“We are our memories," Dodge said. "That's all we are. That's what makes us the person we are. The sum of all our memories from the day we were born. If you took a person and replaced his set of memories with another set, he'd be a different person. He'd think, act, and feel things differently.”
Brian Falkner, Brainjack

“She said, "You may be able to implant an image, even a taste or a smell, but I don't think you can implant the feelings that went with the experience that created the memory.”
Brian Falkner, Brainjack

“It must be a matter of constant surprise to dogs that humans never actually get any smarter and just keep making the same mistakes over and over again. Of course cats figured this out years ago, which is why they treat humans with such contempt.”
Brian Falkner, Northwood

“I cannot promise for another day," the lion said. 'And I cannot guarantee what other lions may do if they catch you alone in the forest. But tonight you are safe."
"Thank you," Cecilia said again. "May I touch you?"
"Touch me? Why?" the old lion asked.
"Because I want to," Cecilia said.
The lion looked at her for a moment, then nodded. Cecilia stepped forward and put her arms around the lion's neck, hugging him, feeling the coarse hair of his mane rub on her cheek and neck.
'Are you crazy?" she heard Avery say behind her.”
Brian Falkner, Northwood

“Cecilia listened carefully. There it was: a low rasp of breath, in and out. With all the snoring around them she hadn't noticed it before. She couldn't tell how far away it was, but it sounded close.
That was the last thing they needed. An insomniac lion.”
Brian Falkner, Northwood

“It should be terrifying, Cecilia thought, but it's somehow beautiful. They were lost in a maze in a dark forest filled with man-eating lions, which should have been enough to have them cowering and crying on the ground. But instead Cecilia felt bold.
Perhaps she had just run out of fear. She had been using so much of it in the castle, with the King and his evil guards. Maybe fear was like water in a glass, and when you used it all up and there was nothing left in the glass, then you weren't afraid anymore.
Cecilia was not afraid.”
Brian Falkner, Northwood
