The Eleventh Plague (redo)
By: Jeff Hirsch
This book is absolutely amazing. However,
it’s not only a fiction book; it involves adventure, love, and survival. Plus,
it could happen, and may happen in real life! The book appeals to anyone who
likes realistic fiction, or “struggling to survive” books Which I personally
find very appealing.
The book starts with a fifteen-year-old boy, Stephen Quinn,
was born after a great war and only knows how to live the life of a salvager.
The collapse, when everything went down, started the major problems for America,
people dying, put into slavery, or worse. Stephen’s family survived but slowly
died from “The Eleventh Plague,”
which kills the person it infected.
After everyone in Stephen’s family died, off besides his grandpa, his
dad, and himself, they stuck to the road with their wagon and mule. They will
face, not only the death of a friends and a family member, but the hard choice
with potential lovers, and others that will try to kill them! A big enemy the
group will face is the Slavers, who take almost anyone and make them slaves for
pulling wagons, farm, or even food! It will be hard, but he will learn a lot on
the way, and save everyone who still remains.
The book is harsh on characters and doesn’t give much description
of any thing. Although sometimes, like when Stephen and his father found a can
of peaches, it is very, very,
descriptive. I wouldn’t recommend this book to someone who dislikes violence or
a lot of unsettling things. Even if it’s violent, and unsettling, it’s still a
very good and catching book.
Good job i like the detail you put in about the book to make it interesting. it sounds like the book keeps you on edge like something is always happening or going to happen at any moment. Good job.
ReplyDeleteI like how you had examples and lots of detail and didn't give much of the book away.
ReplyDeleteThis book, I have always been curious about this book but it didn't look that good to me. After reading this it made me think this book might suit me.
