Optional Reading

Hey readers! Sorry for the late update.  It took me a long time to get the book in my hand.  But now it is here.  Anyway, the initial impression that I felt is, "What is going on in this book?"  As our fellow teacher, Mr. Beville, this book start of  just weird.  It is just hard to grasp the information.  However, I also figured out that if I keep reading the book, I would eventually follow how they happened and this is one of the part that grasp the heart of readers.  Because they don't know what is going, they want find out and read on to the next page.  So far, I have figured out that the technology have developed far more than what we have right now.  So that is something good.  But also there is something bad about it.  Thailand holds the highest technology and keeping it to themselves that other country have to send the spy to it.  So I can see that humans have become much more selfish in that time.  This is what I've got so far.  See you at next post.

Optional Reading

As I mentioned from the first post, I m going to read "Wind Up Girl" as an optional reading.
This story take place in 23rd century in Thai land.  Due to global warming, sea level increased and sunk the metropolitan that are place in lower land such as New York.  Also, there are contagious disease for the plants which will make the vegetable we eat inedible.  Thus several companies in the middle U.S.'s bio-company took over the marketplace of vegetable.  However, Thai land have protected from those contagious disease and created a new type of vegetable by controlling the DNA.  To search the secret of the Thai land, bio-comapany have sent an agent to search the detail.  That is the basic setting of this book.  The reasons why I chose this book as my favorite in the list is because every character will have a darkness in their mind, which is very interesting to me and there are a lot of corruption between different countries and the story is written in four different point of views or there are four different main characters in this book.  Also, I prefer science fiction books.
