Lee Raven Boy Thief - second post
Summary of the pages 50-90.
When Lee took the Book of Nebo many people got afraid. That was a book that's not going to be stolen. It was an object every man wanted to posses and everyone wanted it to be safe.
Now, when Lee has to hide himself from the murderer he lives underground at Stratford Place in a old and dirty room. The only thing Lee does is to listen to the book. He listens of all the stories, both good or bad. He is completely fascinated by it's content and he can't stop listen.
Lee is in that old and dirty room to wait for his little brother Finn. Finn is the only one who knows that Lee was the one who took the book.
The chapters I have read has been from three different perspectives. Lee's, Mr Magg's and the Book's.
Mr Magg is the man who had the responibility of the book when it were stolen. He is furious, not only because of the thief, his friend Mr Saloman was murdered that night when the book was stolen.
Now everything he wants is to take back the book.
In Lee's perspective you only hear his thoughts about the book and the situation. He's kind of scared but it doesn't sound like he thinks about that a lot. He is ignoring his fear.
Beacuse Lee doesn't have the skill to read this book opens a new world for him. He has never before read a story by his own.
The chapter with the book's perspective is kind of wierd, bacause you don't really get it when the word comes from a book. The book is thinking about the Lee. In the beginning the book didn't want to tell him stories but after a while he doesn't care. He tells the stories with such an empathy you can't tell.
The book tells his own story, how old he is and where he comes from.
The book is getting better and better but still some parts is hard to understand. Like when the book started to talk you didn't get that is was from it. But besides from that I think the book is quite good and I believe it's going to be really exciting. The book isn't at all obvious, you don't know what's going to happen.

The haunting of Ellen - second post
I have now read 55 pages in the book
One morning Bella and Ellen heard a bang and went out to see what it was. They were just in time to see the Smyth family leave, without paying their bill. Family Smyth was also guests at Bon Vista, but they had made an early start to avoid paying their bill. Mrs Bailey thought that there name wasn’t Smyth and the address they had given wasn’t correct.
The disappearance of the Smyths had left a room free in Bon Vista and Mrs Bailey didn´t want to spend one more night in the draughty back house, so she moved in the empty room. Ellen and Bella had the whole back house for them self. They wanted to paint it inside to make it homier.
One night Ellen had a dream. In the dream she was still in the house, but it was like she was someone else. It was like if she wanted to do something, but she couldn´t. Somehow it was like she was drawn to the empty chair by the fireside, where a short-bladed knife was laying.
In the afternoon, after Ellen’s dream, when she was sitting in the grass outside the backhouse and listening to how lovely the birds sang, she suddenly noticed that the birds had stopped singing. When she looked around she saw a man standing by the door to the back house. The man had white hair, his shoulders dropped and he wore a leather jerkin. And he was looking at her. Then her head seemed to spin and she heard the birds singing again. When she looked around it was no one there. Once again she had had that feeling as though she was someone else.
That day they also swept the chimney in the back house, so they could use the fireside. At night when Ellen and Bella were going to bed, Ellen went to draw the curtains at the windows downstairs. And when she turned from the window, the light of the candle glistened on something in the fireside. When she went to look what it was, she saw that it was a very old pistol. Bella came down and saw the pistol and they decided that it must have fallen down when the chimney was swept, but they didn´t understand why anyone would hide a pistol in the chimney.
When they went to bed again, Ellen couldn’t sleep so she took her writing things and sat by the window. She started to write, but she had no ideas of what she would write. She held the pen between her fingers when the pen suddenly twitched and then started to write… She could feel how her hand was moving with it… but she was not directing it! Then the pen just stopped writing, and she looked at the paper where it was writtenMy name is…This is what I think of the book:
Now it has began to really happen things in the book, and I look forward to read more of it. The author writes in a interesting way because there is always something going on in the history and I think that is god. It makes you don’t lose interest in the book. And I didn´t want to stop reading to write this text.
As I wrote last week it happens things to Ellen, and I still think it will be worse. I think that it maybe lived a girl in the house before that got killed, and that girl wants someone to know about it. Maybe the girl was killed with the pistol they found.
Ellen is a very curious person, and has she once got an idea she have to tray it. I think that the author wanted a curious person as main character. The history needs someone who is not afraid of testing things, and who is curious about strange things that happen around.

Vampire Diaries - second post
Now I'm going to write about my personal reflections over a part that I've
just read. And just because I didn't forget the instruction-paper in school I'm
going to follow it just as the paper says.
just read. And just because I didn't forget the instruction-paper in school I'm
going to follow it just as the paper says.
I don't care what's waiting, said Elena. If that's where Stefan is, that's
where I'm going. Then that's where we're all going, said Meredith. Elena
hesitated. I can't ask you to do that, she said slowly. There might be
danger of a kind you don’t know about. It might be best for me to go alone.
Are you kidding? Bonnie said, sticking her chin out. We love danger. I want
to be young and beautiful in my grave, remember?

When I read that part which I did for a couple of times just to understand
how the protagonist Elena has it and how some others people have it or don’t
have it I started to think over how I have it and don’t have it.
Before I actually don’t know if I had those friends who would help me with such
a things as just getting over someone after a conflict, but nowadays I do know
that I have friends who are helping me in hard situations. That feeling you
have when you know that there are people who really care for you and wants to
help is the best feeling in the entire world.
Where I want to come is that I’m really lucky who has these great friends who
support me trough hard situations and always makes me happy. What would I be
without them?

Vampire Diaries - first post
Just because these books involve vampires I?m going to write about one of the
most important ones, Damon Salvatore.
Damon is described as a beautiful and handsome guy at about twenty years. ? He
was dressed as she had first seen him, in black. Soft black boots, black jeans,
black sweater, and leather jacket? He had the same dark hair, the same pale
skin, the same disturbing good looks.? He?s really mean in the way he acts, but I think he?s a good guy inside and why
he?s so mean and patronizing in the way he speaks and acts is influenced during
his childhood/his time as a teenager for approximately two hundred and fifty
years ago. ?´Where?s Stefan?´ A line appeared between Damon?s dark eyebrows.
´Stefan who?´ Elena stepped forward and slapped him? ´Don?t lie to me ,´she
said, her voice shaking. ´I know who you are. I know what you are?And now
Stefan?s disappeared.´´Has he?´ ´You know he has!´ Damon smiled, and then
turned it off instantly. I?m warning you; if you?ve hurt him?´ ´Then what? he
said. ´What will you do, Elena? What can you do, against me?´? ´Tell me where
he is.´´Later, possibly ? for a price.´?
Why? When he was about eighteen years old he fell in love with a vampire named
Katherine. She was the one who turned Damon and his brother Stefan into
vampires and she also made them think that she loved them both. But the
brothers? father gets to know that vampires exist in real life to, not only in
old legends. So he started to hunt them and when he catches one he locks it
inside a tomb. Both Damon and Stefan thinks she?s dead and they are really sad
about the thought of not being with the most wonderful and gorgeous creature in
world anymore.
After a couple of centuries they meet each other again and then Katherine tells
Damon that she has never loved him. Stefan was the person she actually loved.
Damon gets really depressed and starts to hunt and kill people again.
I think that his story has a lot to do with how he is nowadays. He wants do be
this cool and macho guy, but inside he?s just as weak as everyone. Damon always
says that vampires don?t have feelings, but from my opinion they have feelings
just as we humans have. They just know how to hide them from other people and
that?s something impossible for many humans. You can hide some of your feelings
and thoughts, but when it comes to a point when it?s too much you can?t hide
them from everyone anymore.
Just think how great it would be if we were vampires, because then we wouldn?t
have to think about how much you?ll get hurt and life would be so much easier
if we could hide our feelings for some people.
The author is also trying to get Damon a bit mysterious and fearsome and that?s
something you can se in how she describes the environment when he is going to
come forward in the story:
?´Damon!´ Icy wind whipped Elena?s hair around her face, tearing at her light
sweater. Oak leaves swirled among the rows of granite headstones, and the trees
lashed their branches together in a frenzy?This weather was a show of his
power, meant to frighten her away? She turned and gasped. He was just behind
her, so close that her clothes brushed his as she turned??
Why the author Lisa J Smith described Damon as this handsome, mysterious, bad
guy is because she want?s us to see that it?s not the outside of people we
should judge. It?s the inside and Damon is a great example of how we are
judging people from the first meeting until you?ll actually knows what?s inside
the person.
When you start to read about Damon you think that he is this bad, gorgeous man
everyone wants, but after a couple of chapters you?ll see that he has a long
history behind. Inside he?s this small person who?s really nice and good, but I
think he doesn?t know how to show it in a proper way. Why he has to be proper
in the way he is, is because he is still living in 1864 when they had to act in
a special way when you wanted to be nice apart from now. I don?t think he
really knows how to behave for being good.
We have problems with judging people in our world to. In some cases if you see
someone and you don?t like his or her clothes, hair or body sculpture, the
first thing you think is that ?Oh my god, I can?t be with that person because
he or she is so ugly so he or she has to be a really bad person and I don?t
want to look bad in front of others?. Thinking that way isn?t good for anyone
so that?s why everyone has to try to get to know the person a little more
inside than just outside. I think that?s the best for everyone!

Dead until dark - second post
Sense last time I wrote I have read about two mysterious murders.
First Maudette. She was murdered in her bedroom. Maudette had been a plodder, never bright or ambitious. She was also a fang-banger, she liked being bitten by vampires. But that is not what killed her.
The other girl was named Dawn, she was also a fang-banger, and just like Maudette she was strangled to death. Like that was enough, Dawn had worked at the same bar as Sookie.
Sookie believes that the murders are connected to vampires and she visits a vamp-bar too find some information. But she is not there alone, Bill is next to her side all the time. They find out that both Maudette and Dawn had visited the bar.
One thing that annoyed me was that vampires can own there humans. If they say she is mine, no other vampire is allowed to touch her. But the vampire who own her drink her blood.
Next I hope someone else will die, someone who will help Sookie find the murderer.
I have met two new peoples. First JB, he is a guy Sookie went out with in school. He seems like the guy who would sleep with every good-looking girl, including Sookie. Then there was Eric, a handsome vampire Sookie met at the vamp-bar. he is many centuries old, and he wants Sookie. Even if that is breaking the rules.

StormbreakerA summary of what I have read
Mr Blunt had now send Alex to a training camp for eleven days, there he will do some exercises to complete his training for his mission. In the training camp no one had a name instead they had code-names. Alex code-name was "Cub" but that would change.. When he first get to the K unit where he will sleep he meet some other guys named: Fox, Eagle, Snake and Wolf who was the leader. In the beginning no one of them was nice to Alex, they think that they had sent them "Double O Nothing" so that would be his new code-name in all case for the men in K unit.
It wasn't easy for Alex in the beginning the guys in the K unit ruined for him on the exercises so the sergeant was very angry on Alex. But after some days training Mr Blunt thought that Alex was ready for his mission. Since Mr Blunt thought that Alex was to young to wear a gun he send Mrs Jones over to Alex so she could take him to a man named Smithers. Smithers gave Alex toys but it wasn't just toys. This toys could he use to do stuff with. Like a Nintendo Game that one of the games you put in to the Nintendo could use to eavesdropping. Alex also gets more toys that he could do other stuff with. When he was there with Mrs Jones she told him more what he should do on his mission. He will go to to keep an eye on the man Herod Sayle. But he will not go like Alex Rider, he will go like Felix Lester because Alex will take Felix Lesters place to try the "Stormbreaker". He didn't just get to now about he's mission he also gets to now that it was Yassen Gregorovich who killed his uncle, and Mrs Jones told him that if he see Yassen he have to contact them at once. After that he went back to the camp to get his stuff and leave.
Alex went to "Sayler Enterprises" there he will try the "Stormbreaker". He met Sayler and Mr Grin who couldn't speak they show Alex his room, in the room Alex found something that his uncle Ian had write down on a paper when he leaved in that room. Alex send the paper to Mr Blunt and said that he had found that in his room.
The next day he met Nadia who will show him to the room where he will try the "Stormbreaker". But when he should tried the "Stormbreaker he went outside the room to look things up. And he found a door who was locked, he took he's Nintendo and put a game in to it and turned it on. Then he could see into the room, he saw things who looked like something ghost-like and he heard what they was speaking about. "Something will be delivery two hours after midnight" he had heard. But then he heard voices coming so he turned his Nintendo off and put it in the pocket. It was Nadia who came and asked what he had doing here, she had believed in him when he had said "nothing" but he knew that she knew that he wasn't doing "nothing".What I think about what I have read

It was Nadia who came and asked what he had doing here, she had believed in him when he had said "nothing" but he knew that she knew that he wasn't doing "nothing".What I think about what I have read
I think it's still exciting to read the book because it always happened something and it's a little bit scary because I don't want them to discover who Alex really is so that they want to kill him. So the book is very good so far, but Alex has done some mistake, like when Nadia discover him when he stood at the locked door. But that do the book more exciting to read, and same when Alex found the paper his uncle Ian had write something on that he had discover. I really want to now what Ian had found and what the paper means.What I think will happen
Now I had read to page 88 and I think that Alex will discover what Ian had mean with the paper, and he will tell Mr Blunt. But I also think that Sayler will discover Alex and try to kill him but they will not succeed, and he going to complete his mission and maybe he will going to save all the school in the country who will have a "Stormbreaker".

Tomorrow when the war began - first post
Author: John Marsden
This book is about Ellie and her friends how lives in Australia. They have known each other for a long time and are really good friends.
They decided to go on a camping trip up in the mountains for a week. First they drove a Land Rover by themselves to the mountains but they couldn't drive all the way to the camp site, so they got to walk and climb the last part. The camping site were beside a creek and during the week they were swimming, cooked food together and just had fun.
One night when Ellie woke up she heard something strange. It was an artificial sound that came closer and closer. She looked up in the sky and there came a V-shaped line of jets raced over her head. After six V-shapes of jets the sound disappeared. Ellie didn't thought so much of the jets until it was time to go home from the trip.
On the way back home Ellie had a feeling that something was wrong. And she had right. When they drove in to their home town they saw a city in black. No signes of anything living.
That was a short summary of what has happened in the book so far. I like what I've read and how the book is written. It's exciting and I always want to keep reading to see what's happened next.
Something that I want to read about is how the group will work together in the future. It will be interesting to see if the group will start fighting or if they can stay together as a team all the way through the war.
I don't know what's going to happen next but they have tried to contact their families and listened to the radio but nothing worked. So I've actually no idea what they are going to do next.
Something I've thought about when I've read is the language. The author John Marsden is from Australia and the book takes places in Australia, so the language is a little bit different compared to British English. At the beginning of the book it's an Aussie Glossary of some Australian words. It's very good because sometimes the words are totally different.

Stormbreaker - second post
Summary from page 40 to 120
This time do I find out that Ian rider had taken Alex to climbing big mountains over the whole world , and took him to karate classes since he was six years old.
Alex did as the man said and went to the place were Ian rider worked. When he got there the man which name was Alan blunt and the lady which name is Mrs Jones met him. They told Alex that they worked with m16 and so did his uncle Ian rider. Well Alex wasn't very chocked. They said that Ian rider worked with a project called Stormbreaker. Stormbreaker is a new very complicated computer that a man named Sayle produced to help school work. He was going to give one computer to every school in the whole country. But m16 thought he hide something so they sent their best agent Ian rider and he mysteriously died.
They asked Alex if he wanted to take Ians place and go to the place were they produced the Stormbreaker and find out what Sayle actually worked with. Alex said no, Alan blunt were choked but then he said, the girl u live with Jack I heard that her Visa soon will go out and of course will all Ians money and the house go to Alex but Alex could only receive it when he was 21 years old. Help me and we help u Alan finished. Alex had no choice other than working with them.
Alex was immediately send to training camp and joined a group called K Unit. No one used their real name, Alex was called cub. There were four more members : Wolf, fox, eagle and snake. Wolf was the leder of the group. He was very respectful because he was fast, brave and good with a gun. Wolf didn't like Alex. He ruined every exercise he did. After a while couldn´t Alex do it, he told that to the sergeant and he expected to be yelled out but the sergeant said with a very low voice that he had seen what wolf had done and that nothing was his fault. Alex was very relived and that gave him power to continue.
Alex was there for eleven days. in the last exercise should the whole team should parachute jumping from a plane. Every one jumped, after a while was it only Alex and Wolf left. Wolf was afraid of heights so when wolf wasn´t ready Alex put him out in the air so that he would jump. Mrs Jones wouldn´t let Alex jump because she cared about him very much .
When he came down on the ground Wolf thanked him very much. Later that day Alex was transported to Smithers. He was an expert on weapons, Alex was to young to use a gun but he couldn't go there empty handed.
He wondered how he was going to get into the Stormbreaker building. Blunt told him that a while ago it was a contest. The winner would get to spend three days with Sayle and try out the Stormbreaker. A kid with the name Felix Lester had won that competition so he switched place with him.
Alex went in a Mercedes to the Stormbreaker building. When he got there Sayles assistant met him and took him to Sayle. He told him to go to sleep and we start tomorrow.
I think the book is getting better and better. Sometimes is it Ok to read and that's a big step. The ending is pretty clear, in almost every story it ends good. So in this story it means that Alex finds out what's wrong and saves the world.
