My favorite book I read this year was Ready Player One. This book is my favorite because it showed a whole new perspective on video games, by showing all the greatness and opportunities, but also showing the radical consequences. For example, it is cheap and easy to educate people with this new software, but most people neglect the outside world. I loved how the author described virtual reality in a descriptive way.

The plot structure of this book compared to the first book in the series is greatly differing in the beginning, but then becomes very similar near the end. The main similarity lies between the trio going through a realm vastly different from their home region. They then use the belt obtained from Leif's father to find the next stone. After that, they defeat a creature who is guarding the stone, then they move on.

If I had the opportunity to interview any character, it would be Lief. The main question I would ask him is how he goes about his daily life. I would ask this because the author does not go into too much depth about his background. He would most likely say in return that he helps the beggar near his house, and helps his parents around the house due to the lack of education the kingdom provides its subjects.

Ford, at first, was an eccentric character never really understanding anyone but himself. As the series progressed, he slowly became more understanding and present when people have problems. Some events that influenced their growth were the countless times he and Arthor were in trouble. One of the times was when they were stuck on the prehistoric earth. Ford then became more aware of the people around him.

I have choose to read Life the Universe and Everything because it was interesting. I also choose it because it is the third book in the series, and I like to completely read every book in a series. The most compelling element in this book is how they time travel to different time periods on Earth. This shows that I have become a stronger reader because it is a more challenging book than what I read at the begging.

I would not want to be someone in this book because they all lead very interesting lives by drifting from one event to the next. I would also not like to insert myself into to an existing or new character mainly because I don't know where I would. There are many great and extravagant places the main character visit, but they usually end up separated and lost for a couple of years, trying to find each other.

The resolution of a story is when the characters start resolving their conflicts. As shown in A Study in Scarlet, it's when Sherlock and Watson finally get to a conclusion of who did the murder, but then the suspected murderer, Hope, has suddenly died. This shows that the resolution is not always a happy ending with no conflicts left behind, in fact, this book reveals more questions than answering them.

Since Halt was betrayed by his own brother because he wanted the throne, he then becomes a dark and mysterious person. But since this happened to him, he would not want it to happen to anyone else. He also became a ranger, who most people think are mysterious and deadly. So society placed that label on him, and then he became that person of unknown. He still holds his own ideals, of being loyal to his friends.

The purpose of the book was to entertain its audience, and the audience is for kids twelve to sixteen. The author wrote this book because of two things. First, he wrote it to entertain people, and second, he wrote this so people could see which events lead to the original series. The author wrote this for people who wanted to know where some of the characters came from, and see what they have accomplished beforehand.

I can relate to Halt because he takes his time planning before taking action to make sure he is not going in without something to hold on to. He also tries to be very independent making sure he does not rely on anybody. This is because that if someone you rely on heavily is not there, you can't do anything. I can also relate to him by being loyal to someone I trust, like Halt being loyal to the king, not Morgorath.

If I could interview any character from the book, I would definitely choose Crowly. I would first ask him how was his time as an apprentice under Pritchard, mainly because this detail was never written about. He would probably say what most Rangers would say, that it was a nightmare for the first couple of months, then after awhile, it became quite enjoyable. I would interview him due to his pleasant personality.

If the story had a different narrator, it would be in first person and most likely be from Arthour's point of view. This would limit the different arks of the characters because they are split up. Also, while Arthour's was surviving on prehistoric Earth, the story would go more into depth into what he thought, and probably be take more detail into what he was doing. In addition to this, the story would be a mono ark.

This book doesn't have many great parts. The worst part of this book is when Ford and Aurthor are aimlessly walking around on a foreign planet with nothing to do. I also liked this part because it was a nice break after the confusing spaceship for prisoners/settlers. It was not that great because it took up almost all of this last part, except the two times it switches to Zaphod to see what he is up to with his plan.

Zaphod met up with his crew. He then took them to the restaurant at the end of the universe. Arthur Dent then discoveres more about the universe outside of Earth. They have a nice dinner while catching up with each other on what happended when they were separated. The four then meet Marvin in the parking garage and steal a vehicle that is programmed to go sun diving. They then use the teleporter to escape their doom.

I would love to be a character in the story, especially Ford Perfect, because he is a happy, carefree man. This character will always go wherever his pilot wants to. He also is very knowledgeable about the universe and how to not be killed, which is a great aspect. Ford also knows many people so he can always seem to get wherever he wants. It would also be exciting to be researching for the biggest book company.

The climax of the book is when the four main characters landed on a mythical planet, that builds other planets, and gets trapped by the super intelligent race of mice who wants to harvest the brain of Arthor. He then refuses and the mice and intergalactic police go after the four. The falling action of this book is them escaping the interior of the the planet. There is no resolution yet due to the "trilogy."

I feel like that this book is always keeping me a little in the dark, the reason is that the author tells you some information, while throwing in some unknown parts into that explanation. I would gives this book a 10/10 for its laid back, and comedic tone to the book. It also has a strong story that is filled with a few interesting and likable characters. I would recommend this book to someone who wants a funny book.

If I was the author, I would change the ending because that kind of ending is overused now-a-days. Instead of ending it there, I would've went on a little bit further to make a better, more full, finishing experience. What I would've done is to have a celebration between the four and Og, which then will have them converse a little. After that, I would make it end.

The exposition in this book takes a very interesting stance. First off, it starts off with a kid, who is in eighth grade, waking up on the first day of school with his mom waking him up. For most, this is very relatable, but I am different from most people, so this doesn't really pull me in that much. He then gets to school and has a nromal time until the third-to-last period. It takes a little too long for my taste.

In the past week, the characters were fleeing the place of the elves and were entering, through a portal, back to Earth again. Later on, Thor catches up to the three characters to try and bring Loki back to Asgard. The three then safely escape to a place where they cant be found. Loki then leaves. After a couple of weeks, Loki is found unconscious in the front lawn of Amy's house. He comes back with more knowledge.

The author's purpose for writing this book is to entertain their readers and for them to see their take on Norse mythology. I believe that the author's message in this book is that the reader should always look at something and interpret what they see, even if there are finite facts on what it is.

I can relate to the character Loki because he can easily manipulate people and trick them. I do this sometimes so people can do their part of their work in group projects if they are not doing anything. I don't really trick people, I mostly am able to make people do what I want them to do. I don't relate to him because he loves pulling pranks and making people feel ashamed, I like to see people succeed.

I chose this book because it was free and sounded like it had an interesting plot. I had no idea what will happen because none of my friends have read this book. So far, this book has been alright, not too great, not too bad. The reason is that the plot is a little convoluted by adding in unnecessary details that get in the way of the main idea. The characters in the book are interesting and relatable.
