    I loved this book! It was very interesting to me. It was definitely a book that I couldn't put down. When she told about her experiences about making new friends and also losing her family I found this very interesting and heartbreaking to know the pain she must have been going through. A weak point in this book was when Hannelore couldn't find…

    One thing I loved about the book is the characters. Everybody has an identity that they will have to live by to cover their real one. Every half-blood has ADHD and is dyslexic because they need for fighting skill and understanding The Greek language.For example,like Chiron,he's supposed to be Mr.Bummer, a Latin teacher in a motorized wheelchair, but his real identity is a centaur, half man, and half horse. Another thing that I like was the…

    I adored the character, Jeffery. Although he did not play a major role in solving the murder of Laura, he was my favorite. Everything that came out of his mouth was sassy and I loved it. You made him a phenomenal comic relief. If you took him out of the book, I would not have enjoyed it as much as I did.…

    The character the really interests me the most would be of course the Elephant Man. I’m just as curious as Dr.Treves is on why he looks the way he does. for example did his condition got worse in age or if it was always bad. Although on a much more deeper level I have so much curiosity for his personality. All his life he has been judged, laughed at, beaten and had people scream in his face as if he was a monster but he still managed to tell Dr. Treves that every minute of every day he was always happy. He had a huge impact on me because if he can go on living everyday and be happy even under all the depressing circumstances then theres no reason why anyone else can’t. He could have gave up but he instead he looked at the better things in life and was always hopeful. While watching the movie he even gave me hope as…

Her legendary silent persona and bite is something no one should missed.…
