Outside Reading Part 2

Title: A student of Living Things by Susan Richards Shreve
Pages: 246

Read: 20 Left: 226

Still planning to read this over break, the introduction is fulfilling. The story takes place right after the shooting incident, where Claire has just found her brother dead. Then as smart as she is,, she is forced to move elsewhere eliminating her chance to get some clues.

Overall, I don't know what will happed next but I predict that Claire will eventually solve the case, meaning either she will have to convince her parents to stay or she will have to run away.

Outside Reading Quarter 2

I have yet to decide if this is the book i'm going to read, but it sounds very interesting.

Title: A student of Living Things by Susan Richards Shreve
Pages: 246

Post 9/11, the Frayn Family, Claire Frayn, majoring in biology, is digging for her umbrella and her brother, while is with her, is shot to death. The family is in shock and they do whatever they can to find out about this tragedy. Claire dismisses from school to find out who did this to her brother. The story isn't about revenge, but more about love and the family tries to be happy after finding out that this nightmare has come true.
