Eleven Eleven

Eleven Eleven

By Paul Dowswell

Set in the scene of world war one, three men take on war, one an American airman, another a British Tommy and the last a German storm trooper. Eleven Eleven seemed a bit plotless and all over the place. The first few chapters were confusing since it's based off of three different views it was hard to remember who was who. It's critical to have the first few chapters hold the readers attention and be interesting since that's how readers base whether or not they'd like to read the rest of the book I personally would have put the book down. The best part of the book I felt were the last few chapters, though I felt it wasn't that great either way. I would say this book is for younger readers who want to find out more about the war in a simplified version and I would recommend it to people who are more interested in revolution and war.

Scott Westerfeld: Leviathan Trilogy: Leviathan; Behemoth; Goliath (The Leviathan Trilogy)

By Scott Westerfeld

I recently read the book Leviathan and I loved it. The book was recommended to me by my teacher and I am really glad she did. The story is a two sided story about a prince who had to run away from home and a girl disguised as a boy in order to be a soldier. They both lost their parents and have no where to turn but end up together in the midst of battle. One of my most favorite parts was when one of the characters told the main character he really could inherit the throne and could have his life back and reading how the character really feels like actually going back out and finding a meaning in life again. A connection I had with the book was when I found out one of the soldiers was a girl but had to dress up like a guy, it reminded me of the movie Mulan. I recommend the book to people who like daring adventure with plot twists and unexpected trouble. Leviathan will keep you on your toes right up until the end.
