Prompt: Did you like what your reading? Why or why not?This week I have been reading "Hunting the Hunter" By: Gordon Korman, and so far I really like it. It is the 6th book in its series as well as the final. The basic story line is that two kids (Meg and Aidan) and their parents are falsely accused of helping terrorists, and where set up by their "uncle" (not really) Frank, the bald assassin. He tries to kill them several times, and each time the escape by the skin of their teeth. This time they are hiding at a farm as working hands, and their plan is to trap Frank and report him to the police, freeing both themselves and their parents.
A few things I liked about the book. First, the many action parts of the story and standoffs. The unbelievable way that they get caught and then think of some obscure way to make it out of the situation without being arrested and killed. The way that all animals hate Aiden, like the 300 pound pig at the farm, and the cows... Most of all I liked the ideas that the writer uses and how he introduced them early in the story, only to come into use later.
A couple of things about the book I didn't like. First, details that I think where stretched out for way to long, and ended up just making that part of the book feel boring. Next, the dangerous things that the siblings would do, that would be totally unbelievable. Like Meg throwing a turnip in the air to stop a bullet from hitting her brother in the back of the head. The chances of the bullet even being stopped by a turnip are so low that it would have been just as likely of making him miss by yelling that his mother was an ape.
