Pg. 141-155

Alex has just escaped the military and found his friends. Its is now Alex, Zee, Simon, Lucy, and the other black suit. The black suit is driving the hummer they are all in and Alex is navigating. Something is telling Alex where to go and he doesn't know where it is coming from. He thinks it is Furnace talking to him through the nectar. The Berserkers are killing every rat that tries to attack the truck as they travel the road looking for a place to stay. When they finally arrive Alex realizes he has led the hummer directly to his old house back when he was a regular kid. Before he was made the monster he is now. They all eventually walk in and sit at the table and Lucy makes tea and they find a little food to eat.

Alex goes upstairs to his old room and sees: his room is cleaned, left the same, not messed with, the same posters still on the walls, drawers open as they were, but still clean. He sees the only picture he ever kept in his room and he looks closer at it. His family on a cruise, ice cream on dad's face, laughing, mom close by, little eleven year old Alex right between them. He begins to cry and gets an, ''awful pressure in my throat, like something huge was crawling up it." I like this quote because anyone who has ever cried can relate the "awful pressure" in their throat.

The good parts about this chapter is it is showing how Alex felt about this life before Furnace. The bad part is it is actually kind of sad and there has not been a sad part in the series yet, mostly just killling, anger, and regret.

My prediction is that Alex will find Alfred Furnace, but killing him like he wants to I'm not sure about that one.

Good things and bad things about my book, Execution

Good things I like about my book is it never gets boring. Something new that you never thought would happen, happens. To me this book is so interesting because the detail never dies down such as the line, "an island, waves crashing against its cliffs." I like this line because even though this book is more out of the ordinary because it includes things that would just never happens it still has those little glimpses of hope for the character, Alex.

The only real bad things I don't like about this book is that every chapter ends with a cliff hanger; if it doesn't it leaves you wondering what is going to happen next. You can almost never expect what is going to happen because this book is so off from other books. I would greatly recommend the author of this book Alexander Gordon Smith, because he does terrific detail in all the books i have read in this series.

Execution Pg. 112-125

After Alex screems all the soldiers are silent but keep thier gun pointed at the berserkers. Alex yelled to the still runnig chopper "Give me Zee and you can all live." the chopper's speakers came on, "You have no way out Alex." In his mind he knew this wasnt true. that with is amry of Berserkers he could do anything. He herd another Beserker as it appered on top of the hospital above. the other Berserker now stood on top of a pick up truck. He knew thier were 4, that somehow he could picture them doing something and they would do it. Alex made one of the berserkers pick up a soldier by the throat and wile he tried to fight it was no use. Eventually the soldiers started to fire back and Alex had the Berserkers attack. The chopper started taking off and one Berserker jumped from a tank and hung from the chopper keeping it from taking off.
Why did Alex want Zee back so much? He met him less than 7 months ago in prison.

Execution- Page 96-111

In my book Alex has just been revived from the dead and is now going to try and escape the military base. Alex is now in control and has now figured out that by picturing the berserker doing something in his mind, some how make the berserker do it. For example Alex is trying to find his friends Simon, and Zee and when he pictured the berserker ripping the cell door off, it did just that. While they await quietly for the army to make a move, they look out the window to see that not only every military personnel from the base have gathered in the army, but all of the troops in the army have retreated and come back to the hospital that was made into their base.
 Alex describes a military helicopter, and he pictured in his mind the berserker holding the helicopter and keeping it from taking off. The berserker jumped out the window, then came another creature from upstairs; as they tear through the parking lot full of troops Alex jumps and hits the ground on all fours. He stands up and "like a hurricane of sound" he screamed across the parking lot "ENOUGH!"
The book takes place somewhere in Europe, I know this because Alex mentions "quid" several times in the book. Quid is the money people use in Europe.
The author always wants you leaning in for the next thing that is going to happen in the book and I do just that when i read this series of books.

Execution page 85-95

In my book Execution by Alexander Gordon Smith, Alex was just brought back to life by using a defibrillator. The doctors that once surrounded him were now all dead at the hand of the berserkers. Alex looked around to see that he was back in the opperating room. The walls that were once white, were now now paainted in red.  Alex asked the other blacksuit "we're getting out of here, right?"

This part takes place in a hospital that was boarded up and made into a milirtary base since the outbreak of freaks from the prison. Alex says hes been having thoughts about the past because he can finally fight through the nectar, he can fight through when it trys to take over his mind over.

I would recomend this book to kids ages 13 and up, and young adults. This book is far out of what could really happen, but it is so cool the way the author details certain points and describes the characters so well.

The picture is of a weaser, who is the thing that does the operations in the second books
