Reading a New Book!




Today, I decided to read a new book. The title of the book is Virals and is written by Kathy Reich . I chose to read this book because of a variety of reasons. First of all, like before, and like always, the tile immediately enticed me.  I mean think of it! Virals. Reminds you of a chilling, action packed thriller. As soon as I laid eyes on the front cover, the words, "#1 New York Times Best Selling Author" jumped out at me. I realized that this might actually be a quality book with a well developed plot, and detailed characters. After the pulling the book out of the shelf, I did what I do whenever I pick out a new book, and read the back. The words "Forensic", "Sci-Phile", and "Canine quick reflexes" caught my eye. How enticing! I turned to the inside cover, and actually found out that the television series, "Bones", was based off of this novel. I'm assuming that if a director was impressed enough by the book to actually devote a T.V series, the book must be of pretty good quality.

After reading the back, I realized that my heart was pounding. It seemed that this book would have no boring parts whatsoever. I let my impatience take hold, and I sat right there, in middle of shelves, and read the first few pages.The action started from the beginning, as seen with the quote "We sat, tensed, waiting" (Reichs 3). I was only on the third page and already my nerves were on edge. What was going to happen, who is going to get caught? Those questions raced through my mind as I read the book. My high expectations for this book haven't been disappointed yet. And believe me, I have really high expectations for this book. After reading the back, researching a bit on the author, and reading the first couple of pages, I think that I have actually found a hidden jewel. I mean, what more can you want? An action packed novel written by a New York Times Bestseller? I think yes! I am really looking forward to reading what seems to be an amazing book.
