Q. What do you like about what your reading?

Right now, what I am reading is probably the best and the juiciest part of the story. So much action packed pages filled with adventure. Especially, the part when small Sam was almost captured by the grown ups, but his quick wits saved him. It stated,” Sam felt strong hands grab his ankle… But where could he go? Upstairs there were only more grown ups.” Sam then gets out of the situation by lighting a grown up on fire and everyone starts to catch on fire. Finally, he escapes. There’s even more adventure.
Another reason I like what I’m reading is all the mystery and betrayal. All of those qualities I find very interesting. An example of someone being greedy and selfish is when everyone leaves besides Callum. He has been hiding a stash of needed supplies, just for himself. Who does that? It states,” Arran had left him some food and water, without telling the others. That was a cool thing to do. But what Arran couldn’t have known was that Callum already had loads of stuff stashed away”. Lastly, I love what im reading because the idea itself, Adults vs. kids I find interesting. For these reasons, I am excited about what I’m reading.
