Status Updates From The Eleventh Plague

I read this book as a kid in 8th grade. I bought it from the book fair, and I wanted to read it one last time before I donated it. It’s not a great book, but it is also not a terrible book.

So far I like the main character Stephen I love his whole trying to do everything by himself and with no one’s help and remembering what his grandfather taught him and his dad. I don’t know how to feel about Jenny I see how she and Stephen are quite a bit alike however I feel as if she’s too wild and impulsive

I made up from not being here yesterday.

"The sun had just gone down and it was all orange and gold, Jackson's fingered curled tightly around the swing's chain" (Hirsh 130).

Stephen; because he's the main character and the adventure follows him in the story.

My book got its title because it is the world after the "eleventh plague"

"They're just clothes" Stephen whispered to himself. (Hirsch 135)

"Who are you people?" (Hirsch 70).

Started reading this a week ago.

...I just picked this up on Scribd and it was a nice shorter story to listen to while doing things. Stories this length always feel a little short to me based on what I normally read. But other than that...I did enjoy the story.

Though, I've noticed since the pandemic I seem to be picking up stories about plagues/pandemics/ect more frequently.

im to the part where the three men knock the kid out and pass around water on page 51.

So far his grandpa died.

left camp to save dad but dad died

There was a pandemic in the book which I connect to because it was similar to covid

Stephan is the hero in my book when he saves he's dad from the mudslide

I wonder what the "Eleventh Plague" was

Boring. I’m not going to finish it.

There was a flash of lightning and thunder that made both of us jump, and the rain seemed to double in power in an instant.

They main character meets a group of people but they want to help him and his dad instead of hurt them or rob them. I think the main character should have let them help him instead of declining their offer. I think the main character will change his mind and follow them.

The character is dealing with a loss of a family member like i did except it was my dad not my grandpa. The situation was handled ok to me. I think that they are going to kill some slavers that have some hostages then they will let the hostages go. This relates to the time where hitler was captivating jewish people.

chapter seventeen

Have to admit , it’s not the best book I’ve ever read . The story so far is weak and I’m not feeling connected to any of the characters . I feel like it has the potential to be something more, right now it feels like a basic tv show plot of an apocalypse
I’m hoping it picks up soon, there’s not a lot of anything going on at the moment

Slow beginning. Now exciting.

This book is ok. Nothing special
