As the end of the book draws near, a clear theme regarding the conformist nature of the modern education has been formed. Curtain's Institute most likely represents the average public school, where students are taught to think a certain way, and the four benedictians represent students who choose to think differently.

The book seems to be at the climax, with the four children on the run inside the Institute. We read this book in 3rd grade, but back then it all seemed to fly by, and I made no real sense of the plot. Now however, the books contents seems so much richer and the character stories make so much more sense.

Trenton Lee Stewart's style is one of minimal sensory description, and high plot content with high character development. So far in the story, Stewart hasnt given us an in depth description of Benedict's house, leaving the layout up tot he readers imagination. The book, however, has moved at a high pace, and we already know Reynies whole backstory.

Levitt is now analyzing the role legalized abortion had on crime rates in the late 90s, and he found that a supreme court case, Roe v Wade, led to a direct drop in crime rates around 1995, because mothers now had the power to not bring a child into a harmful environment. Levitts reasoning is interesting as he draws unexpected links, but his arguments make sense in retrospect.

The voice of the author is very colloquial and approachable, and so, even if this book is about statistics and data, its completely readable. Im not too far into the book, but the concept currently in the spotlight, (guns vs pools mortality rate) is very intriguing.

I started reading this book to start understanding the world's religions better. I hope I can get through this Quran, then move onto the Bible, and lastly read The Mahabharata. I dont exactly know how i would critique this book, but so far, its starting to help me understand the beliefs and values of the 1.3 billion muslims who share the world with me.

The book is now nearing its end, and the battle between the Ordeen and toms mom is over. I'm looking forward to reading the next book, as there is one problem in this book that is left unaddressed- the fiend. The book was a fun read, and I would strongly recommend this series to anyone interested in fantasy.

The book is in its climax, and Tom is in Greece fighting the Ordeen. It has been revealed that Toms mom is not who she seems to be, and she has strong ties to the Ancient Greek gods. Alice has unlocked her full potential as a witch, and she's helping Tom in this battle against the evil god Ordeen.

This book is very interesting, just like all of its predecessors. The conflict is escalating quickly, and we find out that the main characters mom isn't who everyone thinks she is. The setting, for the first time in the series, is shifting to another country, and that means anew environment and a new variety of creatures for tom and the spook to battle.

it's just hit me that maybe McMurphy isn't as great as we think. this whole story is told from Bromdens PoV, and everything we read is Bromdens perception of McMurphy. We know bromden has had a lot of trouble in his life, usually from higher forces like the government. To him, McMurphy can simply be the embodiment of standing up to authority, so he might be "fangirling" and exaggerating mcmurphys greatness

The book has definetly escalated to the climax, with McMurphy trying to get the best of the big nurse. The book is so much easier to read now, because I understand which character is which and I've gotten to know the narrator, chief bromden. McMurphy is on the verge of being sent to disturbed, so the tension is rising. I'll get back to you when the climax passes and we roll into falling action.

My friend, who is really into philosophical stuff and ethical debate, told me that this book was a challenge, but worth the read. I wanted to try something different from the graphic novels I have been reading for the past 2 years. The book is definetly living up to my expectations, and it's definetly interesting as it's told from the vivid point of view of a mental patient.

My favorite part of the book so far would probably be the part when we hear an outbursts from Pete, the shell of a man who sits around, slouched over in the corner of the Ward . It's during a meeting of sorts, with Nurse Ratched talking about random things and the new ward admission. Pete says he's tired, and a black man comes to take him to the Ward. The man starts abusing Pete, and Pete gets up and knocks him out.

The book is definetly getting more interesting, as the kids dad has disappeared. I think there's going to be an action packed climax soon, and it's going to be one of huge proportions.

This book is definetly interesting, and I kind of sense a huge plot twist coming. The "second ship" that no one knew left the planet of Lorien along with the main ship is still lacking explanation, but it will probably have a big effect on the story. As for the characters, the main character, Number Four, is becoming more and more developed. I see his true feelings about leaving his planet as a baby.

I dropped Eragon because it was due to the book library. I just started this book and I have so many questions, including the origin of these super humans, and who's hunting them. His name was the mogadorian, and apparently he's a superhuman too. But what are his original and why does he need to kill everyone that shares his powers?

The book is starting to get faster and the rising action is evident. Eragon is going to attempt to murder servants of the empire, which will probably lead to the climax. Originally I thought that the actual killing of the empire men would be the climax, but there's still a long way to go in the book, so I doubt it will be.

So far, the book is pretty good. The rising action is slowly becoming evident.
