"Scorpia Rising" Pages 0-215

*Prompt*- How have your feelings changed as you’ve been reading?

       This week I have been reading Scorpia rising, and I have to admit, it has been coming really slow. At this time in the book (like most action/mysteries) he is doing the tedious work of finding the whereabouts of Scorpia and what they are doing. Scorpia is doing the same to Alex without makeing too much of a stir. The reason for this is because in previous books the organization messed up with an assignment and isnt taken very seriously anymore.

        At the beginning of the book it seems like an end of a Harry Potter book, everything is calm, peaceful, and Alex is turning out very lucky. Then he gets ubducted by terrorists and his best friend dies trying to escape. This is part of the reason that I am finding the book so boring, it goes from boring work to stopping a bomb from exploding. My feelings towards the book have been less interested because the friend that dies is a very lively character and puts a lot of the feeling into the book. Although I got back into the book the terrorist leader tortured Alex by showing him the scean of his friends death over and over again, making sure attemps of escape were thrown away.

      Another thing that changed my feelings toward the book was how the organization Scorpia was taken so lightly. In the books prior to this scorpia messed up on two assignments and now they arn't even looked at as the number one criminal group in the country! Their specialty is stealing and they get an assignment to steal a rather large object out of a highly guarded museam, not a problem for Scorpia. They make up a plan to make sure that the object is kept where it is supposed to be, but dont get to put it into place because their client dies. This makes me feel even more bored with the book, what fun is losing power!?
