The Silence Of Six Book Review
The Silence of Six
Silence of six, a book written my E.C. Myers, discusses the adventures, or rather the misadventures of max, a high school soccer player who dabbles in hacking. This book has almost no background information, or character build-up. Although it is easy to figure out exactly what is happening, it can be difficult to understand why the things that happen are happening, in the beginning. I thought this book was a good read, and it was also a quick read, seeing as how I am an unusually slow reader, and it took me about 5 days to get through this three-hundred fifty-page book. Myers uses a lot of rather vivid imagery, while it is not quite as vivid as Stephan

I personally felt that this book was exactly on my “reading level” seeing as how there were few words that I had to look up, but it was still able to challenge my vocabulary. This book was an easy read, because of its word choice, however, when you compare this books word choice to Stephen Kings Cujo. The word choice could be considered childish, because King chooses to use a wide, and advanced vocabulary, while Myers uses a more simple, easy to read …show more content…
In the silence of six we see this being implemented. Myers jumps right into the story, however he does give clues and hints along the way, allowing the reader to sort of connect the dots and somewhat understand who is doing what, and why. Personally I felt more hooked into the story with it skipping the character background, because it forced me to continue reading to figure out, just exactly what was going, what characters were doing, and why. So by not sitting and explain who every character is, what their background is, and what their thought process was Myers is able to pull readers in, and force them to do the work in figuring out who everyone is while also forcing them to figure out what was going

    Although at times it was hard to follow what was exactly happening in the book. I felt like the book jumped around a lot because each chapter was a different event that happened throughout the year. I didn’t know when the events occurred so at times it was confusing. In addition, the book was older so it was hard to make connections with the book and my everyday life.…

    The author of this book, Michael Grant, captured the attention of the audience extremely well. For one, he knew the age group he was aiming to write towards and molded the story to please them, for example he showed what would happen if people were cut off, no power of any kind, and it showed how teens or kids of any kind would panic when a situation, such as this one, arises. Another way that the author captures the interest is that he didn't make the books very long or very hard to read but he filled them with adventure, action and excitement from cover to cover. To show an example of what I mean the novel I’m reading, Light, is only 400 pages, the 6 book series has a total of 3000 pages.…

    Silence serves as a symbol, signifying many things in The Chosen, by Chaim Potok. Throughout the book, Reb Saunders rarely converses with his Danny unless it is about Talmud or their religion. In chapter 18, he says that he did this to teach his son to understand and feel pain and suffering. In addition, he does this because this was the way he was raised by his own father. Reb Saunders wanted his son to grow up with the soul of a tzaddik so that he may be able to feel the suffering all over the world. Nevertheless, it is disputed whether or not Reb Saunders’ method was completely successful because Danny does not seem any more compassionate than Reuven. Also, when Reb Saunders imposed silence upon his family, Danny reluctantly hid things from his father, including his dream of becoming a psychologist instead of a tzaddik. However, at the end of the novel, when Mr. Malter asks him if he will raise his children in silence, he replies that he will if there is no other ways. This shows that Danny does not abhor the way he was raised, but he acknowledges that there are better approaches.…

    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.…

    The way a book reads in terms of words and language used is readability. When an author uses uncommon or unknown words throughout, it affects the way the book reads. When I am constantly looking up words that are unfamiliar or I cannot determine from the context, I lose interest. The constant stopping distracts from how it reads. There were a few words I did not know such as chanterelle and surfeit. Chanterelle turns out to be a species of mushroom, which I was able to determine from the context of the paragraph. I had to stop to look up surfeit, which means an intemperate or immoderate indulgence in something. Overall chapters 15 through 17 have great readability.…

    The problem begins with public perception. Buresh & Gordon point out a fundamental disconnect. The public trusts and respects nurses as caregivers but does not understand the professional standard or practice of nursing (Buresh & Gordon, 2006). Buresh & Gordon movingly quote Joan Lynaugh, nurse historian, “Most people know they can’t get into a hospital without a doctor. What they don’t know is…

    I would recommend this to an older audience. It has some parts that are not appropriate for kids. “Snape is pulled hard to the ground and then pushed high into the air as his soul is ripped from him.”(Rowling 195) I would rate this book an 8 because it has a lot of action but there were some boring parts. “The Trolley Witch's hands transfigure into very sharp spikes.” Overall it was a great novel and was very…
