Review by Roman A

The main conflict of this book is when Alex finds out that his mom had participated in an experiment that involved Dr. Wyatt a millionaire scientist that worked with trans-genetics. This experiment involved getting a healthy child for Alex’s mother which has huntington’s disease which has no cure, she was at an early stage so she found Wyatt to try and experiment on her and Wyatt agreed under one condition that he can use the rest of the DNA not used when the healthy child was born. After the healthy child Alex was born, the rest of the children were then created by Wyatt as test subjects that would be different from the child that was born. Then after finding out the truth Alex try’s to find out where the other test subjects are.

One specific aspect of the book that makes it seem appealing is the fact of how Alex tends to try to find out the dark secret his dad held from him the whole time and how he goes throughout his senior high-school life. Alex is a bright kid, but he also doesn’t know how to find out the truth and he is also fighting the fact that he may have HD (Huntington’s disease). So he goes through out the whole time finding more and more information linked to his mother and Dr. Wyatt.  This one aspect was what kept me reading this book throughout all the chapters.

The main conflict is how the androids gets angry at the humans. the reason they get angry at the humans is because they band them from earth. they were sent to mars, but some of them sneaked in. the reason they stayed is because they look exactly like a normal human, so they have bounty hunters to kill the androids on earth. there is one bounty hunter who is having difficulty finding a certain group,and this would be his biggest android case he has ever had.

one spesific aspect is how nexus-6 keeps escaping. the bounty hunter Rick Decard tries to find them but he fails to cacth the andriods. the reason they want nexus-6 is becasue they are becoming more and more dangerouse. they cannot tell if anyone or anything is part of that group but even if they are not a nexus-6 they still kill any android.

Argentar Period 7

I read the book Gears of War Aspho Fields by Karen Traviss. This book is the prequel to on of the best selling video games of the 21^st century. It follows the main characters from both games (Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago) and a few new characters are added in, one of them being Carlos Santiago Dom’s older brother. During the book you get to see what life is like in the present day and in the past when Carlos Dom and Marcus grew up together. Now as humanity struggles to survive on the planet of Sera from the oncoming army of the Locust horde, the terrible memories from the battle at Aspho Fields during the Pendulum Wars comes back to haunt Marcus and Dom.

This was one of my top favorite books of all time, I would give this book a 9 out of 10. The book was full of funny little moments and some were very sad and shocking. I would recommend this book to anyone who love the games of likes to read action sci-fi books.

Lockowitz-Period 8

The book, Maximum Ride, is about six mutants who call themselves Iggy, Gasman, Nudge, Fang, Angel and Max. In the beginning, they all live in dog crates at a place called the School. The School is a laboratory that focuses on mainly genetics. When one of the scientists, named Jeb, doesn’t like the way the mutants are being treated he breaks them out of the School and takes them to a place in the mountains. Jeb teaches them how to fight and protect themselves. Just when everything seems fine, Jeb disappears. Two years later the mutants go outside to have a little fun when erasers attack them. Erasers are wolf like mutants made to kill and the School creates them. The erasers catch one of the mutants, Angel, and take her back to the School. Max, the mutant leader, decides that he and the others are going to rescue her. The next day, when they get there, the other mutants end up getting captured also.

The last battle between Max and the super eraser is one of the best parts. It is good because Max is so angry she focuses all of her anger on winning. Everything Jeb taught her about fighting dirty she uses. The battle goes back and fourth many times. Just when you think someone had won, it switches. It also has some of the best detail in the book.
