This was the largest section that i have just sat down and read for a long time. It was mainly due to the fact that this part of the boook was very interesting. Clay Tom and Alice decide to try and find some guns so they at least have some sort of proctection as they move north. While they wait for night to come so they can move safely they noctice all of the crazies flocking together and moving as a flock. They puzzle over it for awhile then move on. When night hits Clay and his crew got to Tom's neighbors house where he knows there are guns and lots of them. They stock up on the weapons and start to head North.
While they travel North they begin to run into more and more travelers. They know they are okay because they have flashlights and the crazzies only come out during the day. As they begin to talk to more and more of these people Clay and his buddies start to hear more and more about a rumor that the state boarders North are closed and anyone who tries to cross is being shot. It concerns Clay a little but they decide to keep on their route north. On the way they hear more and more stories from other people warning them not to go out during the day for any reason. Or stories about how they saw a group of crazies attack and tear apart a normal person they had caught out in the daylight.
Now toward the end of the section I read Clay, Tom, and Alice had made it to an academy where they meet a couple other people which had something very interesting to show them. When they got the chance the headmaster of the school and one of students showed Clay and his friends a flock of crazies that were spent the night every night on the schools football and soccer fields. With them the crazies had radios playing to comfort them almost while they slept. Thats where I stopped and this section was by far the best part of the book so far.
Nice start. I admire that you are reading through even though you're having trouble finding a book that feels 100% captivating. That patience is something that good readers have to develop. Some of my favorite books, for example, are books that people who do not have patience would think of as "boring." It's about finding interest in places that aren't obvious, I think.
ReplyDeleteThe summaries in your logs are great. I'd like to see maybe a little more reflection about what you're reading and the blog itself could be a little more personal overall, too--it doesn't have to be about you, like a journal--just share and write about stuff you find interesting on the internet or in life in general.
