Why did you decide to read the book?
Well I choose this book because it sounded good and people told me it was very good.
Brief Summary of Book (6-8 sentences): There is a kid named Mitty Blake who is a very crazy kid. He doesn’t care about much. But when he has to do a term paper for science, he gets himself into a lot more than he bargained for. He has to help figure out a huge problem that has been over looked before time runs out.
Audience: The audience for this book would have to be teens to young adult.
Writing Style: the writing style of the book is very simple it uses a lot of slang, not a very hard read.
Description: the style of her writing is very simple but gets the point across.
Passage: “oh, I get a huge salary from your tax dollars to oversee a disease that doesn’t exist.”
Vocabulary:
Word: Variola Definition: Small Pox
Superiority the quality or condition of being superior.
Sentence & page it came from: Page 22. Derek responded with loathing, thinking how to repellent she looked with that little crease of superiority across her forehead.
Page 21 Mitty scrolled around. Variola major turned out to be smallpox; a disease Mitty had vaguely heard of.
Passage #1: The books were thick and dusty. Mitty picked up Principles of contagious disease because the leather was soft and gold, like melted butter. He opened to the title page and, remembering he had to have a bibliography, turned one more. Page 9. I choose this paragraph because of the similarly, plus it was the book that started the whole book.
Passage #2: On Friday, Mr. lynch walked around the classroom making sure everybody had written down the due date fin their assignment books. Luckily, he started at the far side, giving Mitty Blake time to whisper to his best friend, “due date for what.” I choose this passage because it’s the paragraph that gets everything going and starts the book.
Theme: The theme of this book was to show that a simple science project can even turn into something big.
Letter Grade: I give this book a B because it was a good book but it wasn’t the best book I have read but overall it was pretty good.

ReplyDeleteThis book seems interesting because it seems as though this kid makes a virus. I would like to see how The main character felt about what he did, and what he did about it. I'm wondering is the kid actually made the virus or if he just foind out about it. I'm wondering this because it seems like a book i might be interested in. Also i am wondering who the virus was exposed to. For example was it in a school?
this seems like a good book that i wouldnt read. i wouldnt read it because it seems to far fetched in the plot.
ReplyDeleteA-AML This book seems a little confusing. What is the science project and how does it have such a huge affect? Based on this review I wouldn't read the book becasue it hasn't done a very good job of getting me interested. I'm just confused about exactly what the book is about. It seems very interesting and different; like there's no book exactly like it.

ReplyDeletethis book sounds very interesting and from reading the summery it kind of makes me want to read the book to find out what the problem is. I might read this book in the future.
this book seams boring i feel that there are no twist to it. I do wonder what it is that he gets a problem with. I think the Publisher: Random Books lives up to its name this book is random and something i wont be reading.

ReplyDeleteThe summary doesn't give me a good grasp on what the book is about. Seems like a book that would be very boring and not interesting at all to me.
