Reading Blog Entry Number 4 12-9-14

I thought the book I chose Compound  was very interesting, and exciting! I believe the author wrote this book to show how money can effect people, and the effects it can have on a person's mind. Also, I believe the author's goal was to keep the reader entertained, and in suspense the entire time. I really enjoyed this book, and if you're looking to read a novel with suspense, and elements you most likely have not seen before I definitely recommend you read this book. Also, I think another reason it's good to read is because; the book just doesn't tell you everything at the beginning like most books do. Instead it adds a mystery aspect like I've talked about earlier, and I just think it makes the book that much more interesting. So in conclusion I definitely recommend you read this book.

I finished the book I was reading which was Compound. The conflict stayed the same. The only thing that changed was Eli found out his father was lying about everything! Eli found out his brother, and his grandmother were alive. Also, Eli and his dad got into a fight in which Eli won. Eli and his family escaped the Compound when Eli figured out the code to get out. Strangely though Eli's dad was not found when they got out. To Eli's surprise his dad's assistant Phil showed up blew up the Compound, so no evidence could be found then flew off in his helicopter. To Eli's luck and his families luck his grandma, and his brother Eddy followed Phil's helicopter and rescued them. I enjoyed my book, and I thought it was unique. Also, I liked all the twist and turns it had as well! The final thing I liked about it was the constant suspense it kept me in. Overall I had no dislikes about the book, and I am already half way through the sequel Fallout. That is what I liked about  my book.

                      In the book Compound the main characters in the book are Eli Yanakakis, Rex Yankakis, Lexie Yanakskis, Eli's mother, Eddy Yanakakis, Gram, and Terese Yanakakis. Lexie and Terese are Eli's sisters, and Eddy is his twin brother. Rex is Eli's multi billionaire dad who is the richest man in the world, and Gram is his grandma. His mom is his mom obviously. The setting of the book takes place in the massive underground compound that Eli's dad built them to protect them from the nuclear war, but that's what Eli and the rest of his family thinks except for his father who is holding a dark secret. The main conflict of the book is Eli's curiosity, and he wonders why he is down there. Another conflict in the book is the shortage in their food supply which could lead the family to a dark choice. All of this of course is in his dad's plan that the rest of the family doesn't know about. The third  conflict in the book is the fact that Eddy, and Gram died since they didn't get in the compound. Eli later finds out that they are alive. I have no dislikes about this book , and I think it's fantastic my favorite thing about it is the overall setting of it. Another thing I like about is all the twist , and turns it takes.

                   The author of the book I chose is S.A. Bodeen, and the book's title is Compound. I chose this book because; it falls under one of my favorite genres which is Science Fiction. Also, another I chose this book is because; it looked interesting. The final reason I chose this book is mainly because; post-apocalyptic settings interest me. I have already started the book, and I'm enjoying it so far. At the beginning I was hoping to simply just get a story out of it, but it's been much more then what I was expecting. Those are the reasons I chose this book, and what I expect to get out of this book.
