I recently finished The Andromeda Strain by Michael Chricton. I like his out there topics, and the way he makes his topics dangerous and suspenseful. He can also make things confusing. One of the most confusing and interesting things to happen was the book's constant mention of a problem with what they were doing. You think 'How can there be a problem? Everything has to work in the end, right?' but the book keeps mentioning that certain places were when they went wrong. Its also interesting when they consider the case of the two utterly different people who survived the virus. they are opposites, and yet they both survived, so how could that have been? This is a great question that you have to ponder, and it should ultimately be the answer to the puzzle. I would recommend this to a reader who likes puzzles and weird things.

Final Blog Entry of the Quarter
This quarter, it seems like I've been reading mostly really unrealistic fiction books. Also, most of my books I have been finishing in a week. This hasn't given my blog much variety. Most weeks, my blog just reads 'This week I read this. I gave it a this because I did or didn't like this. The story in the book was like this.' I also am only semi observative during my entries.
I could work on lots of things. I need to observe more, vary my blogs more, use better grammar, and be more interesting. I don't really like my entries, and I have a feeling others wouldn't like them either. I could also write longer blogs, because some of mine are short. This would allow me to add more detail to my writing as well.
