If I Could Meet Anyone In Dead or Alive…

If I Could Meet Anyone In Dead or Alive I would want to meet someone who I have never met, never heard of. I would want to meet someone who spoke a different language and had work hard to be where they are. I would want to hear their life story. I would want to hear how different it can be from our little bubble of Marin County.

I would want to talk to this person because where we live there isn’t that much diversity. There may be many different races in the area but similar incomes and stories. I would want to hear a different story that is nothing like anything around me. I would talk about my life and have them talk about theirs. I would want to see how the compared. Just by being born in one place vs another so drastically affects life. I think the conversation would be difficult because we would need a translator, but that would be the beauty of it. Two people could just talk, two people from entirely different worlds talking and communicating in momentary harmony.

 

 

First Post! Book Review

In this sequel to Cinder, Scarlet is introduced as a sassy redhead who becomes alarmed when her grandmother goes missing.  The police believe she ran away and will not look for her, but Scarlet knows something is wrong.  Then, she meets a mysterious man who comes to her defense after she makes some remarks defending Cinder, who is all over the news and considered a traitor. Cinder, meanwhile, has been given the tools to escape her maximum security prison and she takes advantage of it.  Along the way she picks up another prisoner she believes might be helpful in the journey.  The evil Lunar queen tells the Emperor that if he does not produce Cinder for her to punish as she sees fit in three days time they will launch a devastating war on earth.

It is so rare for a sequel to continue to build on the momentum acquired in the first one.  Meyer managed to continue Cinder’s story while also introducing many great new plot lines and characters in a way that connected and did not seem confusing or forced. The action in the book is so exciting and tense that you cannot help but keep reading because the suspense of not knowing is just too much to handle. Highly recommended.
