I decided to read Revolver, by Marcus
Sedgwick, because the title seemed very interesting. I sensed that it would be
a book that had a lot of action and was interesting to read. It seemed like a
book that would hold my attention, and had several interesting themes and
scenes.
I could connect with Sig and Anna after reading
this book, because I know throughout the whole novel they were trying to do
everything with the lessons and skills that they had been taught by their
parents. It was obvious to me that they were trying to make the right choices. Another
connection I made with this book after reading it is that I was able to feel much
sympathy for Sig and Anna. After all the losses that they went through, and
struggle they went through financially and physically, they wind up having to deal
with Wolff. This shows that they are very motivated and brave people and they
will never give up on a challenge.
I also
can admire Maria and Einar. Maria was just a good person who was making her
children good people, too, by making them true followers of God and reading
passages from the Bible regularly. She gave them an important base for their
lives and decisions. Einar was doing everything he could, no matter how risky
or dangerous it was, to provide the best for his family. I admired how much he
gave, and did, with one goal – to make life better for his family. He showed
his love for his family through his actions. My admiration of those characters gave
me another connection to this book.
This Bible represents the goal
that Maria had which is to make her children better people, as explained above.
I would recommend this book to somebody who likes
action, but can also handle sad
turns of events. This book is very interesting. Not only because of the action,
but also because of the cliffhangers provided by Sedgwick. I think several
of my friends would enjoy this book as much as I did, and I plan to recommend
it to them.
