Marcus Sedgwick's Revolver
Revolver is a fictional book written by Marcus Sedgwick. This books takes place in an isolated cabin in the Arctic Circle of the early 1900's. A teenager named Sig is trapped in the cabin with his dead father's corpse by a middle agred man named Wolff. Wolff has came to get some fogld that Sig's father owes him and he's not leaving without it.

I would recommend this book because it is really descriptive and entertaining. The whole plot of the story is interesting. It is unlike all the other story that I have read. The appropriate audience in my opinion of rot his book is for high schoolers and adults. I choose the older crowd because the story is for people that are mature.

    The book was very enlightening and interesting. Although it was gruesome and gory in many parts of the book, I enjoyed reading it overall. I especially enjoyed the less formal writing style and diction of the author Mary Roach. It almost seemed like colloquial language and she was having a conversation with me. This made…

    I am not sure if I really liked this book or not. I thought it was really good because of the lessons that were in it, they had a lot to say and their point was very evident. But the stories were all so sad, and it was depressing to read them. Just to hear how horrible…

Although people are blamed for the crime, Beck realizes that it is not the person that is investigated for media purposes, but the gun used in the crime. This book is primarily revolved around myths such as this one and others that are commonly linked to the discussion of guns gun control, but he also includes different twists and turns as well. While reading this book, the reader is able to learn more about the right to bear arms, given to them by the Founding Fathers of the United States, and the on-going issue of homicide, armed violence and overall gun…

    It had humor, real life events, sadness, and suspense. I would most definitely recommend this novel to someone because although it’s very long, you won’t want to stop reading it. This book will make you wonder, cry, even laugh. It’s a book that I think had great meaning and was put together very well. In my opinion, there is no flaws about this book except how long it is.…

    I enjoyed this book thoroughly and always kept me intrigued until the end. It had small twists in it that were rather easy to interpret but it was also very interesting. I don’t particularly relate to this book, although situations that I’ve endured have changed my perspective on life, in a positive aspect, and made me unprejudiced and versatile and not so…

    One reason to read this book is how fast emotions change. On one page the characters are laughing the next they are grieving over a family member who is a victim of a deadly plague that will take life. On one page the main character is rampaging and destroying technology the next she is trying to save her sister's life. If you like books with fast mood changes that this is the book for you. Something that makes this book even better is the cliffhanger ending.…

    In the morning succeeding the purchase of the gun, “The first movement he made… was to reach under his pillow for the gun. In the gray light of dawn he held it loosely, feeling a sense of power.” (4) This feeling of power that Dave draws from wielding the pistol is due to the lack of satisfaction within himself. He believes that the only way to gain respect is by the process of imposing fear, and in turn “nobody could run over him.” (4) Dave continues to marvel about the long barrel and the heavy handle which intensifies his insecurities and rash ideals.…

    Part-Time Indian Thesis

    The coming of age theme with touches of a disenchanted American dream makes the book a fantastic read for a young adult like myself. The book also drew my attention to the issues facing the Native American culture. I had no idea that Native Americans faced poverty and other issues such as alcoholism at a much greater rate than the rest of the population. The lack of media coverage of these issues is also concerning. The media is one-sided when it comes to exposing the struggles of minority groups. Most of their attention is focused on African Americans when in fact there is another minority group that was in America before any other group stepped foot on this land. Overall, I enjoyed the novel because I connected with Junior on some experiences and it brought my attention to the issues facing the Native American culture. I would be interested in reading similar books in the future because I want to know more about different cultures. I would also like to read more books by Alexie Sherman because of his incorporation of humor into serious situations. I would not recommend this book to everyone because of the profane language and sexual content. I would recommend it to teenagers and young adults who are not sensitive to reading books with adult…

    This play will keep the reader interested while including characters you grow to love despite their ignorance and often terrible decisions. Although the story is well written and contains a good blend of humor all readers must be warned, it is not a “light read” but instead stays completely true to its devastating genre. The levels of depth in personality applied to all characters involved gave it the romantic story line modern classics like Stephanie Myer’s Twilight dream of achieving. Although this book is a practically mandatory read, because of the crude and somewhat gore-filled nature of the play I would suggest that it not be read to children under thirteen or so.…
