Simon Vance Essay

This is, without a doubt, the best book in the series, however, it would not be so without all the characters’ journeys and growth in the previous books. I have always related most to Renna’s quiet introvertedness and her hesitancy to take leadership. Interestingly enough, since beginning this series a few years ago, I have found myself in more and more situations at work in which I have needed to take more of a leadership role. In this way, I feel as if Renna and I have grown together, and I have enjoyed cheering on my fellow introvert as we both learned to come out of our shells. Leith has grown throughout the series as well, and it was satisfying to watch him relax a little bit and begin to enjoy his life. Granted, he is still recovering from his injuries and keeping an eye out for enemies, but he seems to finally accept the gift he has been given in a second chance and a relationship with Renna. This adds a whole new dynamic to his character when we see him fight to protect his family. Then there was Martyn. His story was my favorite in this book. I liked his gruff, grumpy nature and how his inner softness emerged in spite of his reluctance to show he cares. He has some serious trust issues, for valid reasons, but once he decides to commit to something he is fully invested. His character development was tremendously satisfying

The main characters, both good and evil, are well-fleshed out. Robert is the typical hero: he is always doing the honorable thing and fighting the enemy to save the princess - even if it means dying in the process. Simmonne is sweet and honest; however, at times I felt that the author depicted her as a weak female in a world dominated by men. Oul’sor, Robert’s worthy enemy, is blinded by

First, as intro says, "If strong ideas and action offend you then read no more.” This quote is very accurate, because in order to enjoy the book you must be willing to accept the opinions expressed and be willing to hear tales of wild adventures. I really enjoyed this book because it was a more mild version of historical fiction. It didn't have many strong references history-it was more of an action-packed story than one about history. Finally, It had a strong main character, Charlotte Doyle. Who is a female; I like that because it showed that girls can be action heroes

I thought it would be more ironic and cliche than it actually was. I think it was a great book, but some parts and the ending could've been a bit... stronger, better. I understand that there is more books to the series, but I didn't feel the emotions that took over the Bartleby family when Cordy had died. I mean, Lex, I get that she can see her sister whenever in the afterlife, but I thought they'd be a bit more distraught. Yes, they were crying and they were upset, but I didn't feel that their sadness was powerful enough to make the reader upset like them. Another part that could've been better or just... not there at all. You know, that one part with Driggs and how he carried around that picture? Yeah. It was a bit of a twist, but it didn't seem that realistic to me, I guess. I mean, "I carried around this picture of you without you knowing and i'm secretly madly in love with you ever since I saw you." doesn't sound... normal. Natural. It could've been a great opportunity to get to know more about where Driggs had came from, but I think the author wanted it so that way Driggs would've been a mysterious character? Maybe the author just didn't care enough to make him a backstory.

For the most part, the novel was very enjoyable. One aspect of it that I loved was that the storyline was extremely intense, which always compelled me to find out what would happen next. For example,

I loved this book so much. There is so much action and is so much better and exciting with so much amazing detail and description. This is one of my favorite books ever. When you read it, you don’t want to put it down and it makes you feel like you are with the characters in the book and you know them so well. I recommend this book to anyone who can read at this level.

Will, the protagonist, was very likable as well. However, his character only evolved for me as a result of Harlen’s unconditional and relentless friendship with him. In short, Will’s character would’ve lacked without the likeness of a Harlen Bigbear. The character naming was also very ingenious. The Oldpersons, Prettywomans, baby South Wing, and others were interesting and clever last names that made the notion of identifying with the characters even more interesting and the reading, fun.

On to the positives! From the plot line to the writing style, to the character development, it was well put together. Quite a few times, I even found myself looking up certain words as I had never seen or heard them before. I, for one, will not complain about learning some new complex words. The pacing was also steady, once I started reading the book, I found it difficult to put down, especially towards the end, when everything came to a head. Lastly, the character development was wonderful.

I couldn’t enjoy the book because I found the characters flat and uninteresting. Many of them have no character development-- except for Montag, but his development doesn’t come from a great self

I did actually really like this book. I was not sure if I was going to enjoy it when the project was first assigned, but after reading for a while, I became really interested

I think this was a great and an amazing story. I really like the way the author especially foreshadowed the key that fell. That was actually a perfect foreshadowed in my opinion. I really loved the way they put this book together all the details and the five people that he meets. My most favorite part would have to be when he meets Tala and she tells him that he burned her. Also that he wasn’t hallucinating when he thought he was burning a child. Also I really like the story about when he met his captain. When they where held hostage and had to mine coal. The sad part is when crazy number two killed one of them that were very sick. It was a really awesome story and an amazing plan to kill the four crazies. No one expected that to happen. When

This is largely due to the boring plot. The antagonists are obvious from the beginning. The boring predictability of the book left almost no room for imagination and the story was so obvious that there was almost no point in finishing it because it was obvious about what was going to occur. Furthermore, there is a love interest that after a while is just thrown is as an afterthought. In other words, it was like he didn’t even exist at one point in the book. Sadly, the characters fall victim to a boring and predictable story. In conclusion, the characters’ personalities are the only aspect that made the book acceptable.

One may argue that this book was too long and partly too descriptive in both the storyline and the characters, which made it hard to follow the storyline throughout the book.

The characters bring a riveting story to life when reading. Throughout the book, I felt emotions left and right for the characters and what they were going through. There is a lot of mystery and questioning that will be answered later in the book, but once its done, there are still many questions being asked. when I look for a book, that is something that stands out to me because I really want to read more, and when you have that reaction to a book, that means it was worth reading. I found this book remarkable because of the behaviors, characteristics, and decisions that the characters make, and I recommend this book to everyone, even if they don’t like to

I would like to conclude by saying that this novel The Lord of the Rings has inspired many spin off works, including several games as well.The enormous popularity of Tolkien’s epic saga has greatly expanded the demand for fantay novels, largely thanks to the Lord of the Rings. It is an an extraordinary work, grandly conceived, brilliantly executed and wildly entertaining novel of Tolkien .In the whole novel we see that it 's a hobbit 's dream, a wizard 's delight. And, of course, it 's only the beginning.The language used in this novel is very simple and easy to understand by people. In short this novel has won the hearts of many .This novel is a must read. I see this novel as a near perfect: It 's one of the best fantasy novel ever written. The story just revolves around the Ring which is created by a Dark lord, Sauron.It has brought the supernaturalism in such a way that we could clearly make out where is the supernaturalism used.
