3.10.- LEVIATHAN


My friends b- day party was awesome! We made our own food and had a food tasting competition (You can probably guess what the theme was). Now I am reading a book my mom borrowed from a friend. It’s called Leviathan. The book is partly a fantasy and its very exciting. First it tells the stories of Alek and Deryn (the main characters) separately, and in the middle they meet. I’m at that part now- Alek just saved Deryn from freezing to death under the broken Leviathan. Incase you’re wondering what a Leviathan is, it’s like an air baloon except is alive. What I find really wierd is how the culture of Alek and Deryn differs. Alek’s culture uses a lot of machines and new inventions. Deryn’s culture clones animals and uses them for stuff like flying… wierd. The author describes that the Leviatan is a huge whale with motors attached to it which people use for flying. It has animals that have been trained to protect it and feed it such as bats that throw up metal thorns and birds with acid covered webs to destroy enemy airplanes. Leviathan is a very interesting book.
