love, read, write

This is seriously getting kind of scary. Not literally SCARY, but you know, somehow coincidental. Guess how many words this book's title is -- ONE! Not that you didn't know. If you don't really read titles to entries, then, you wouldn't know that this book is a one-letter titled book. Called Midnighters. By the famous Scott Westerfeld. The same person who wrote the book Pretties. I noticed this person (Scott Westerfeld) writes a lot of other-worldy things. You know? Pretties is about the future, and this is just in this world, everything how it is, but with a veiled secret inside. Which would be unveiled if you read the book.


Midnighters
By Scott Westerfeld


Okay, to tell you the truth, I finished this book. I read fast. I read a lot of books, so after about five years of reading, you obviously - just instinctively read quickly. And so, I read this book pretty quickly, even if this book has exactly -- uhhhh -- 297 pages. And its a good book, too. This author definitely went up to my top 15 best authors list. Not that I actually HAVE such a list. 


The world in this book is just like ours. No different. Just the same. As in Bixby, Oklahoma, it's a little bit different. For example Dess, Rex, and Melissa. The three people are definitely one of the differences. Why? They are midnighters. To explain your confusion, actually, in this world, there is not 24 hours in a day, but 25. But to us humans, the 25th hour passes by in an instant. Some specific humans, though, can experience that time of the day - the 25th hour. It starts at the base of midnight, where to those humans and the darklings who live there, time stops. Not literally, time stopping. Of course, time never stops. Time is one of those elements that goes on infinity, no matter how hard you try. I think. But anyway, we're not getting into science. The people who are not midnighters, stop moving. Obviously this instant isn't supposed to be an hour, so they stop moving. Everything stops moving. Only those who can actually see and feel the "secret hour" (what the midnighters call it) can move. How do you become a midnighter? If you are born at midnight. And that is just when Jessica Day was born.


This book, as you might have noticed, is about Jessica Day. She is new to Bixby, and suddenly as she moves to her new house in Bixby, she becomes a midnighter. Not that she wasn't before. As much as anyone can try, she is still born right at midnight. But before, back in Chicago where she lived before she moved here, she didn't know anything about a fifth hour or anything to do with time freezing. Until she moves to Bixby. Why? It explains in this book... =D
I hope you read enough today. This is the end of today's "unfinished" entry. But I am purposely doing this, so you can want to read the next entry and wait for it. I mean, just to make it a little bit suspenseful. Just expect another entry coming up this week!
