Michael Vey 3: Battle of the Ampere

    

I got the third book in the Micheal Vey series for Christmas. Since I was reading Neverwhere I haven't had a chance to start it and I have been very anxious. The two books before this in my opinion have been great. The plot is about a test was conducted on baby's. This test went wrong and killed a huge amount of children. Although there were survivors, just a few. These kids that survived have a very powerful side effect. They all have powers of electricity called a "glow". Like one character "Zeus" shoots lighting bolts, The main character Micheal can make surges, electrocute on contact or conductivity, and he even can make lighting balls and throws them like grenades. There are many different types of powers as well. Since the human body uses electrical current there are powers relating to human senses and nervous system. Such as one character Taylor can read thoughts, some other powers can change what you see or feel, and one character drains all electricity from you , thus killing you. I cant wait to see the developed and increase in all the characters powers.

Neil Gaiman

Text of Neverwhere

Neil Gaiman writes using a very vast vocabulary. He uses very sophisticated words as well as some old words that can be found in that of Shakespeare. He definitely does not use them like Shakespeare. That is not a bad thing either. His use of words gives him a sort of quirky yet very sophisticated and intelligent man who is appreciative of humor. He also phrases his words and sentences. He has a gigantic run on sentence listing what a room contains. IT is literally almost a hole page just describing the room. You definitely get a perfect picture of it in your head. Gaiman also has a ton of infused dry humor in his books as well as puns and his main character has a lot of funny thoughts as well that makes him human and real almost to human. I personally love the way he writes and all his books I have read so far on my own.
