Post #4 Streams of Babel

6.  I have been reading the news paper since I was nine and I have always seen big head lines...For example todays front page head line for the New York Times is

Libya War Traps Poor Immigrants at Tripoli’s Edge

In this head line we only read a little of what really happened with those poor immigrants...This book has really showed me not only the side that we read about what is happening with terrorists but also whats happening at the smaller level and how we get the information to begin with.....I really learned a lot.... :)

Post #3 Streams of Babel (SPOILER ALERT)

The climax of this book is when Shahzad and Tyler go to the terrorist group and begin to try to get information out of them...and then when Shahzad finds a scratch on his face and realizes that he may not survive.....What bugs me sooo much about this book is that no one trust the kids, who are actually the smarter more knowledgeable people in the situation..... :)

Post #2 Streams of Babel

1. I enjoyed this book soooooo much...and yes if you are going to compare books to onions than it was an onion I guess i that it has layers...and whats so interesting it that every chapter or so its changes narrators or points of view...and each point of view is another layer of the onion and each one sort of connects together...as one person dies another layer is pealed. Then then the middle is when the climax is and then is kind of just does gets happy or settles at a specific spot......

Post #1 Streams of Babel

WOW... I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE THIS BLOGGING THING BECAUSE I HAVE WRITTEN THIS POST THREE DIFFERENT TIMES AND EVERY SINGLE TIME SOMETHING GOES WRONG AND I HAVE TO RE WRITE IT!!!!!! (SIGH) ANY WAY.....question 5. why did u choose this book.....well as you may or may not have realized this book is indeed not on the book list...i have chosen it from my very own pile (more like a mountain) of books to read, The streams of Babel By Carol plum-Ucci. As many of you know anything that has any small connection to anything related to the word terror greatly amuses me... any way....as I flipped the book over to read the book (face guys every one reads the back) the first word was BIOTERRORISM!!  which just made my head spin with excitement!!! Did the book deliver??? well.....YES!! IT COMPLETELY EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATION AND WAS SOO GOOD even though it did bother me that they changed narrators EVERY TIME THERE WAS SOMETHING IMPORTANT ABOUT TO HAPPEN!!!! But definitely read it if you have a chance!! great book... :)
