Book Review: The 100 day 21
I am writing an analysis on the book The 100 Day 21, the second book in the series, written by Kass Morgan. I liked this book very much. I liked it because of how the author always kept you on your toes and had a great storyline. I also liked how the the author told the story from 4 different characters ,Clarke, Wells, Glass, and Bellamy’s perspective. The book is more science fiction and I think that pre-teens and teen-agers would enjoy this book more. I think that younger kids and adults would not be interested in it as much.
I would rate this book a 4.5 out of 5 I gave it this rating because while the book was very good I feel that I would have given it a 5 if the author had more detail in some of the parts story that needed them.In the book the author used a lot of dialogue and I thought that was very good for the book. The book is written in third person so you don’t get to know what the characters are thinking. Also the use of a lot of dialogue is good because the book is told by four different character's perspective so we get more of an insight of what the characters are like from the dialogue. For example one of the main characters Clarke says “ This is insane.I can’t believe I’m talking to someone from Earth.” (pg.89) This quote shows Clarke’s emotions that we wouldn't be able to know without the quote because of the way the book is written.
In the book the author also made the characters very realistic which was good for the story because the book is science fiction so she made one part actually seem real. Throughout the book the author would show emotion in the characters through dialogue and from what other main characters in the book saw. For example Clarke says “ But it was terrible. I hated myself everyday” (pg.172) This quote from the book is showing how bad Clarke felt and how she hated watching the things that her parents did to children by testing on them with radiation. This makes Clarke realistic because she is expressing her emotions like disgust and anger through what she is saying.
Another thing that the Author did with the characters is that in every chapter she would give them a flashback moment. I thought that, that was very smart and helpful because when I started the book series they didn't explain what had happened in the past. We had to pick up with them in their current situations and figure out what happened from the flashback moments. For example when I met clarke she was in confinement but I did not know why. Also when I met Bellamy one of the main characters the police are crashing through his door but I did not know why either . I thought this was very effective in the story because not knowing what was going on made you want to read more so you could figure out what was happening from the flashback.
I think that there is also a theme to this book. Although it is not actually stated in the book I feel that the message the author is trying to convey is to not harm the Earth. The whole book series and book are about how after a nuclear war humans had to evacuate Earth because it was unsafe for them to live there anymore. They have been in space for over 300 years and finally they send humans down to check on the planet to see if it is able to inhabit life. The rest of the book is how they discover that there is already humans , animals, and plants on Earth and what they learn about them. So I feel that not harming the Earth is the silent message the author is trying to give the reader.
So in conclusion I feel that the book was very good. The author made the book good by making the characters realistic with emotion, having a lot of dialogue, and having flashback moments. Also I think that this is a good book for pre-teens or teenagers who like sci-fi or fiction books.
