Cinder, The Book to Read
Cinder is a wonderful novel that all young readers can enjoy. It has a plot that never becomes mundane, and keeps the reader intrigued from cover to cover. Cinder is an amazingly thrilling and exhilarating novel, and is beautifully written, with integrated plots, and extraordinary descriptions. Some people may think it is too complex and intricate, but it can truly be a splendid novel that all readers can love. Cinder is a story that never gets boring. This is because there are many different problems, that are brilliantly staggered so the reader is always entertained. For example, in Chapter One, while the Lunar ordeal fails to provide excitement, and tensions between Cinder and her stepmother haven’t yet developed, there is an outbreak of letumosis, a disease that threatens all beings on Earth. Keeping Cinder exciting makes the story very thrilling.

To illustrate, Publishers Weekly called Cinder “utterly thrilling.” There is much anticipation and excitement. For example, Cinder must get a message to Prince Kai, a message that could determine Earth’s fate. She must get to the palace, despite the danger that if she is seen by the evil queen, she will be captured and killed. This tension can leave readers sweating! In addition to Cinder being very thrilling, it is also written beautifully. Cinder is wonderfully written. The author, Marissa Meyer, integrates the original plot points into the story beautifully. For instance, the Horn Book Magazine stated Meyer “ingeniously incorporates key elements of the fairy tale.” She also uses extraordinary figurative language and descriptions. For example, on page 327, Meyer describes Cinder driving an old car. She metaphorically relates it to flying, and calls the car a proud roaring beast. In spite of being beautifully written, though, some readers say Cinder is too

    In the book Cinder, the social classes do not rely on money, fame, or your job. The societal structure simply has androids as the lowest class, cyborgs in the middle, and humans at the top. Similar to the segregation of races that occurred not too long ago, many businesses refuse to serve cyborgs and androids because they are "not human beings", While this external conflict seems unfair, in the To Kill A Mockingbird anticipation guide and debate our class discussed equality and human rights. Most of us came to a consensus that while equality among everyone is a right we deserve, obtaining it almost seems like a Utopian fantasy. I do not think that the conflict that is the social hierarchy will be solved in this book.…
