Matthew

The dangerous days of Daniel X

James patterson Pages: 69-180

Total pg this week 111


Explain how the author creates suspense in this book?
The author creates suspense in this book by making Ergent Seth use his powers and turn himself into a girl to trick Daniel. The girl Ergent Seth turns into is Phoebe. And then Daniel falls for it but doesn't know and him and Ergent Seth dated. Then Daniel went to Phoebe's house because Ergent Seth knew who Daniel was and Knew where his home base was. And Ergent Seth turned Daniels place into a cemetery with Daniels name on a head stone. Since Daniel went to Phoebe's house they played chess and went to sleep. Then when Daniel woke up Phoebe was gone so he looked all over the place for her the he finds her past the soccer field and he comes to hold her then she turns back into ERGENT SETH.


What advice would you give to a character in the book? Why?
I would give some advice to Daniel to not fall for girls so easily. He went for Phoebe to fast. Since he fell for her to fast she turned out to be Egrent Seth. He didn't take his time because if he would have he would have known that was Seth and not just a regular girl. Thats why I think Daniel needs some advice.

What does this book make you wonder about?
This book makes me wonder if there actually is aliens in the world. Also if there are alien outlaw's and alien hunters. I know that scientist are trying to find out if there is or was aliens on mars. Since there trying to see if there was any water on that planet. This book also makes me wonder about the kids who have lost there parents and how sad that must be for them. And what they have to go through every day.

Do you think you would read another book by this author? Why or Why not?
I think I would read another book by this author because is books are sci-fi and there really interesting as well. James also wrote a sequel to this book that is called Daniel X watch the skies. After I finish reading the book that I am no i will try to find that at a book store or a library. I like the wierd way he describes the aliens in the book as well.
