Jack is on page 32 of 340 of Food: A Love Story
The theme of my book is definitely a comedy about food, but more specific it is about American Obesity."While walking around Kmart, I spotted a man walking around and was drinking something I realized later was KFC gravy in a gravy cup." Jim Gaffigan is definitely thinking America is unstable with food. I would never think any person would drink that thick liquid that you put on your potatoes...

Food: A Love Story

Jack is on page 10 of 384 of The Young World (The Young World, #1)
When I think about the main character, I think about a tough, scrubby person, who has guts to kill people without caring. The author made me think about this because the author is really doing a good job of explaining what it is really like in the plot, a wasteland, with bodies on the ground and fire around in the city. The main character is reckless person...

I just started this book a week ago, I didn't have much of a purpose to read it but I picked it off of the shelf. I am really liking this book and I am also a fan of football. I am still reading this book because it is a book I want to keep reading. I haven't had a good book in a while so this book makes me want to keep reading.

Jack is reading To Build a Fire
I would convert this short story into a movie, because I have seen many survival movies before and this one is too, a survival story. He is surviving a negative 50 degree winter outside and the frostbite doesn't matter at all if he gets it. I also think the author did an outstanding job writing so far.

The setting affects the book because Douglas is on vacation and he can do more stuff than in his home-town. He also met a girl at a bar in Mexico. They went through allot of stuff, and if it wasn't for the vacation then the book wouldn't have these scenes that are happening in the book right now. It affects the characters because Douglas has to now worry about a wife and killing...

If I had too give my main character Douglas a piece of advice it would be... think about what you are doing. Douglas the assassin needs to realize what he is doing. He is being careless about life, not even glimpse of a thought about other people. Rapidly killing people in the most harmful ways.

The book makes me feel like I am kind of like part of the story, tight next to the main characters because the author really put a lot of description, and I can actually understand the book. It is a book that I can think while I read in this book and this is good because it is a little bit of a mystery book, suspenseful.

I would change the part when Douglas is on vacation because there wasn't much description that the author put in. Basically what happened is he met a girl and now they are "married." It was confusing to understand because so much was happening at once. The author could of made it so it is more organized to understand.

Right now in the book, the characters aren't struggling with anything. Everything that has happened hasn't really affected any characters. Right now in the book, Douglas is on a vacation break and everything is good. He met this one girl at a bar and that's his girl for now. He relaxes everyday on the beach, life is good for him. I can't relate to any struggles but I can relate to relaxing on the beaches.

If I had to make a movie of this book I know for sure ho my main character would be. It would be Douglas, all of the parts I have been reading have been told and acting by him. I think if it would be any other character it wouldn't make much sense because I wouldn't be getting as much detail as I would to understand this book. I think a lot of the characters are just appearing in my book.

Personally, I don't know why the author wrote this book. I haven't really found a lesson either. My book is kind of all over the place. He is on a vacation, and he isn't doing much but lounging. I hope later in the book the author added a good lesson.

The lesson I learned in this book is that I have to trust my family because Colton was sick and his family took him into proper care. Also, if Colton actually went to heaven, in the end his parents are probably going to feel bad at first because they didn't believe his story. I should trust and believe.

The author's craft of writing is a little different, instead of the characters telling the story, the author and the character are telling it. It switches off to narrating the book, and then the characters come in, with dialogue. Comparing to other books I have read this is way different to what I am used to.

If I would add a character in this book I would add a cop, a good guy. In this book there are very bad characters, they don't care about people, about killing them, they are atheist. The personality of the character would be brave, and strong in the mind. Although I am not that far in the book, I sure hope later on there would be some action between the cops and the serial killers.

If my book was written from another point of view I think it would be too descriptive, I like how the story is being told by the character because I like i'm in the actual book itself, and that I am right by the main character. It is the right amount of description and it isn't being narrated...

The main problem is that Colton was sick and about ready to die, but the problem already passed. In the book now Coltons parents are asking him about what actually happened when he went to heaven and back. i guess I could say the problem would be that Coltons peers are wondering about if they believe that he actually had that experience that sounds unbelievable in many ways.

"Do you remember the hospital Colt?"Sonja asked.
"Yes Mommy, that's where the angels sang to me." This seems like an important quote and it means to me the whole book, this is where all the thinking starts to happen, and it is basically the main point of the book. Colton explains how he died and came back to life, the angels sang to him.

The lesson I think is that you should believe what other people are saying because Colton just told his family about god, and what he looked like. It may sound weird at first, but others think it is just a dream. He came back to life...

The story wouldn't change much if the setting was different because it doesn't matter what hospital he goes into or where he was on vacation. He is at a funeral now and he is screaming saying, "was he a a part of gods heart?" It is a little to loud at a funereal, he says whatever is on his mind.

I caught myself dozing off in my book because there isn't much action going on... Colton is really sick and he is getting surgery. The author didn't make it that entertaining because 3 of the chapters are about the family's thought, there isn't much action that's happening. Although some parts I catch myself getting really caught on the book.

I believe that my book is realistic because it is based on a true story. I cant really connect to 4 year old Colton because he has a symptom of throwing up every 30 minutes. He doesn't have a flu, the doctors don't even know what he has. He had a ruff 3 months with a kidney stone, a flu, and sightings of cancer. When ever he throws up, he gets these mysterious holes in his chest, its really angering for him.

I would recommend this book to who ever likes fiction and a survival type theme. This book I think would fit them good and they can recommend this book to more and more people. This is a fantasy type world, like ours at first and something bad happens, which is now named... "The After"

If I had to pick one fiend in my book, I would pick Amy because she knows about survival more than anyone else. She knows how to act in the right spots in the right time. Acting to Baby she was very nice to her to read to her and feed her. I think it probably would be the smartest thing to do and probably the nicest friend their would be. She is now in her apartment, comfy as can be.

Amy is with Baby and they are both doing good. The haven't had real snacks before and now Amy's mom has brought them fresh, edible foods. Amy is so happy that they have a tv and a couch to relax, like the before. They woke up in a bed full of sheets and blankets, questiong where exactly they are. "Hi Doctor..."
"Reynolds," he says back.

When Amy and Baby get captured a dark haired director comes in and talks to them. Up comes a professor and the door opens,"get the kid." Amy's head is throbbing, partly because she is tired and partly because Baby is going to get taken away by the Director. Amy pulls out a gun and points it at the professor. "Get the Director in here." He scowls. Suddenly a lady walks in.
"Mom?"
