Bookreport Half Moon Investigations Period 2 by Sam Liemburg A3C

A. Key Facts:
1. The book is titled Half Moon Investigation
2. It's written by Eoin Colffer
3. Detective
4. Crime

B. Characters:
5. The main character is a boy. He is called Fletcher Moon. He has brown hair, no facial hair and normal clothing. Below I have put a picture of a person that looks like him: young adult, brown hair, no facial hair and normal clothing. 6. The character isn´t very old. The only thing I know is that he is at least 12 year. “I'd just turned twelve...”, page number: 1. He may be 12 years old, but he acts like an adult.
7. His father's name is also Fletcher Moon. He allowed his son to use his ID to register for a detective school, because his son was to young. Based on that, I think his father is kind and understands his son.
Red Sharkey is part of the Sharkey family, a stereotype crime family. Red Sharkey has red hair. However, he doesn't want to be part of the crime family

12. Link to the review: http://kidslitinformation.blogspot.nl/2006/12/review-half-moon-investigations.html
I disagree with the reviewer on some parts. The first 4 alinea's are about the book itself. The 5th alinea is one I disagree with because he enjoyed the book primarily because the language is written in a classic noir style. I disagree with him, because I primarily enjoyed the book because the plot: it's very interesting and everything changes in the climax. Of course I enjoy the language, but it's not the primary reason for me that I enjoyed reading this book.
I do agree with his review of the characters, he finds them very interesting. I do disagree with his opinion that almost every age can read this book. I think this book shouldn't be read by someone younger then 12 year because it's a detective, and there are crimes in the book. I think that isn't good to read as a child, because childs need focus on learning, not on thinking about the bad things in the world(Crimes). (Words:

    The figurative language deepens the book, and the style and craft drags the reader farther into it. The central idea of the book is well chose and described. The only thing that could have been improved is the figurative language. There is so much figurative language at certain parts that many readers do not may have trouble understanding it. Even with the confusing parts this book deserves a four out of five stars, because it is intriguing, but still has flaws.…

    Tyler Palka History 100D 1491 Book Review Charles Mann is a very intelligent journalist who wrote the book 1491 New Revelations of the Americas before Columbus, he is simply just trying to get things right when it comes to history and more specifically pre Columbian America. Charles Mann’s thesis is to educate others on Native Americans because he feels everyone before him was wrong or didn’t do a well enough job finding out the truth. Charles is a very persuasive journalist I think because of all the resources he used and the way he presented it in the book. Throughout the book Mann essentially tries to look into or paint a portrait of what human life was like in the Americas before the arrival of Columbus and the European history in some…

    My complaint about this novel is that the language that is used makes it rather boring to read. It felt as if the book dragged on. If you are looking for a book for inspiration, this is a great one, but if you are reading for pleasure, I would try to find something more interesting. Ultimately, I am glad I read this book. It helped give me courage in a time I needed…

    “Because we’re carrying the fire”: A brief analysis of how Cormac McCarthy displays a world without societal pressures in juxtaposition with his protagonist's ethical dilemmas Cormac McCarthy sets the scene of The Road in a brutal post apocalyptic world where most humans have resorted to stealing, murder and cannibalism for survival. His story revolves around two characters, a man and a boy, who fight for their own lives, while also claiming they are acting as “the good guys.” The man in the novel is in disregard for conventional laws, but his corrupt actions are justified by his undying protection of the boy. The man’s son ruminates on ethics more deeply than the man does and holds the higher moral standards in the form of compassion. The question of what should be considered as right in a world not governed by laws resonates throughout the novel.…

    I create a questions to become my criteria to help me to give review about this novel . One of the major criteria I use to rate this novel is "Did I learn anything ?" I learned from Baldacci 's point of view in life that writers should resist the an ordinary people although can educated people can understand . Second is the flow of the story because there is a gap within several pages and the next chapter set a new situation . The story itself because the story is too long to read it makes the reader bored .…
