1. Right now in my book,
Bruce and Kyle are in the subway in Hong Kong. They split up in different
directions trying to look for a man that might be involved with trying to plant
a bomb. Bruce and Kyle are friends with the kid who could be the one who might
plant the actual bomb. Kyle and Bruce suspect Clyde Xu is going to plant the
bomb. Clyde is a friend of Bruce's, and Clyde is suspected to be a member of
Help Earth. Help Earth is an organization that wants to make the earth a better
place. That sounds good, but they only care about the environment, and not
people. They have already been suspected of killing over 200 people and will
continue to kill people if they are suspected of hurting the environment.
2. So far, I can't really
tell how the book has been, because I am at the beginning of the book. But, if
I had to rate it about the book so far, I would say that it is good. I think
the author has portrayed what the mission that is trying to be accomplished. I
think that it is really easy to understand whom they are trying to stop and
what they have to do to stop them. I think that it is interesting that the
author has not included James who is the main character in the other books in
the series. I was expecting it to be James who would be the main character, but
so far it has been spread around. I really enjoy reading books by Robert
Muchamore, and I think I will enjoy this book too.
3. A theme in this book so
far is self-awareness. I think that self-awareness is a theme because the
characters have to be very careful about what choices they make and what things
they say. If anybody on the mission, says anything suspicious, or does anything
suspicious, the whole mission could be blown. Also, the characters have to be
very aware. Anybody that they interact with on the mission could be enemies
even their own teammates. If somebody comes up from behind the characters have
to react fast enough to not be captured or hurt. But, it is easier for CHERUB
campers because they go through intense training at their camp. If the
characters lose their self-awareness, they will have no chance of a successful
mission.
4. My favorite character
so far is Kerry. Kerry is my favorite character because she has been on several
missions before, and she knows what she is doing. She is a confident person,
and is a leader on the mission. Kerry instructs Bruce and Kyle and gives them
help when they need it. Also, Kerry is a very confident character and can
protect herself and her peers. When a dangerous situation is at hand, she is
always looked to for help. Kerry is willing to make her own decisions, and is
confident with decisions she makes. I think that Kerry will lead this squad to
a victory, and stop the bomb that will try to be put in place.
5. My least favorite
character is Clyde. Clyde is my least favorite character because he turned on his
family, is involved in a scheme to plant a bomb, and is involved in an
organization that has killed over 200 people. Clyde hid the bomb in his sock
drawer in his room, without his family even realizing. Clyde has betrayed his
family in many ways, because he has been involved with the plan to plant a bomb
and Help Earth. Clyde has probably lied to his family, which is a really bad
thing. This lying now, will probably lead to future lying. He has bad habits
now, and will probably have more bad habits in the future. I don't think that
Clyde has any good side to him, and has made the future of his life a bad one.
6. I think that Kerry will lead this team to a victory on this mission,
and stop the bomb from being planted. The team is made up of a bunch of smart
and experienced campers and mission controllers. They will foil the plan of
Clyde and Help Earth, and maybe find out more information about the elderly
members of Help Earth that have been linked to many other things. I think that
when the bomb plan is foiled, Clyde will feel very regretful and embarrassed.
He will want to have lived a normal life, and will probably have a hard time
talking to his family. They will feel bad for him because he will have to serve
some time in jail. Clyde will have learned his lesson, and will grow up to be a
successful person.
I felt like this was one of Robert Muchamore's better books so far in the series. He did a fantastic job explaining what was going on in the book and kept you on suspense the entire time. I also thought that the novel was well written in the sense that you were part of the action. For instance, when they finally stop Clyde, you feel like you were part of it, figuring it out in your head the entire way. I felt like you did a really good job expressing your feelings about what was going to happen next and why. I also thought you repeated some stuff, but other than that, I really liked it. I agree with the fact that you said the main character switches around, because that was exactly how I felt. I expected James to be the main character in this book, but I felt like it was Kerry more than 50% of the time. I didn't find almost anything to disagree with except that later on in the book than you are, Kerry isn't my favorite character. Overall I thought you did a great job!
