THE DANGEROUS DAYS OF DANIEL X
James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge
I would give this book a thumbs up because it had the ability to keep my attention, and most books don’t keep my attention. THE DANGEROUS DAYS OF DANIEL X is about a young boy named Daniel who is 15 years old. He is on a mission to kill aliens following a list until his parents’ killer is finally exterminated. This scientific fictional novel starts off with Daniel being a three year old boy, and his parents are attacked by an alien known as the Prayer. The Prayer wanted a list that Daniel’s parents had; a list called “A List of Alien Outlaws on Earth”. This list contained all of the names of aliens that were located on Earth. The Prayer was unsuccessful

He could also run extraordinarily fast, and he had superhuman strength. When the Prayer was in his house, Daniel transformed into a tick and latched onto the Prayer, escaping death. Once Daniel gets to be fifteen, he takes upon the role of being the Defender of Earth. He starts off playing this role by killing Orkng Jllfgna, the number 19 alien on the list, in the sewers of Portland, Oregon. Daniel was living by himself in Oregon, and he would “create” his family by using his brain, to keep him from being lonely. The Portland Runaway Juvenile Unit confronts Daniel at his house, and he barely passes their tests with his “imagined” parents. Feeling unsafe in Portland, Daniel heads to Los Angeles in search of Ergent Seth, the number six alien on the list. Once in Los Angeles, Daniel has to go to school to fit in with society, and at school he meets a pretty young girl named Phoebe Cook. Phoebe is new to the school as well, and Daniel ends up asking her to go on a date with him. One day when Daniel was looking for clues of Ergent Seth, he finds a child-slave and drug-dealing operation taking place. Daniel brainwashes the leader of the operation and goes on with his business. When Daniel returned home from school the next day, he

At the time the nurse saw Jakobi his oxygen level was low and she called the family (Grandmother Vanessa Davis) for someone to come get him and take him to the dr. She tried to contact mother at 769-1858 but there was no answer. Monday, Jan. 25, the nurse saw Jakobi again for the same cough and because he said he never saw a dr over the weekend.

    The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is part one of a three part trilogy called the Millennium Trilogy. The novel was written in Sweden in 2005, by Stieg Larsson. The book sold millions across the world and has been translated into several different languages, including English in 2008. It also has two films, one filmed in 2009, and the most recent one in 2011. I believe the novel The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson is one of the best crime novels on the shelves because of the twisting plot lines of the story, the dynamics of the characters, and the style of writing that Stieg Larsson uses.…

    "WHY ARE ALL THE BLACK KIDS SITTING TOGETHER IN THE CAFETERIA?" (January 15, 2003, Basic Books), Beverly Daniel Tatum, a renowned authority on the psychology of racism, asserts that we do not know how to talk about our racial differences: Whites are afraid of using the wrong words and being perceived as "racist," while parents of color are afraid of exposing their children to painful racial realities too soon. Using real-life examples and the latest research, Tatum presents strong evidence that straight talk about our racial identities-whatever they may be-is essential if we are serious about facilitating communication across racial and ethnic divides. We have waited far too long to begin our conversations about race. This remarkable book,…

    The ideas that are given in this book will stimulated my mind into becoming a leader and perhaps enabled me to bring my company ahead of the competitors. It was amazing to see how Collins spent nearly five years in comparing the mediocre companies with great companies. One most notable difference is on how the level 5 leader responds to each situation that the company faces. This book will helped me to understand that if a company becomes big, its not because of the skilled salesperson nor huge investment in advertising, but it is simply because the great CEO that bring the company into such success, was proactive in doing so, and was not afraid to face the brutal facts.…

    Good to Great by Jim Collins is by far the best business-oriented book that I've read that can be applied to any career situation. I can see why it has gained the notoriety and respect from top level executives around the world. I have read other business type books which were more of a motivational lecture than actual years of research going into the making of one text. Before reading this book, my preconceived notion was that I would be lost in trying to understand executive jargon. That was not the case at all. Jim Collins did a great job of portraying his ideas and findings in an easy to understand manner that anyone can comprehend. Also, the graphs and illustrations were a useful tool in grasping the ideas he was trying to get across. After reading the book, I was impressed to learn of the concepts and characteristics that may aid me in the pursuit of personal greatness.…
