Vision in Silver


                For being the third book in the series, I’m really enjoying Vision in Silver. At first, it was a bit confusing to understand fully what or who everyone was, but Anne Bishop did a good job of making sure that you know enough to be able to read the book.

I’m very intrigued by Meg. She knows that she can only be cut 1,000 times before she dies, and yet she cuts herself without feeling the need for a prophecy just to see what would happen. I can almost relate to her in a way too. She needs certain things to remain constant or she freaks out. “You can’t change the constant things!” (Page 42). That’s pretty close to how people have OCD. I have light OCD where some things in like my room can’t be moved unless if I move it. Even though it’s not a big deal, it makes my insides feel all funny and it’s hard to concentrate on anything until that thing is put back where it belongs. Meg’s issues with the constant things come from when she was held captive in a cell, but I think the consistency of that place gave her and the other blood prophets OCD about what they can control.

Simon is my favorite character so far. It’s pretty cool that he can turn into a wolf whenever he wants. I like that Bishop made the Others’ last names to be what animal they can turn into like wolfgard, beargard, crowgard, etc. Then you can tell which person can turn into what. I think it’s funny how Simon always uses wolf terms for humans or Meg. He says things like puppies instead of puppies and paws instead of hands. So far, I think that this book is going to be very exciting.

Do you know God's of Death love apples?

                These next few chapters of Death Note have had me on the edge of my seat. Finding out all the different ways Light can kill people is pretty interesting. I like how he can tell people what to do for the most part before they die. Not that I’m condoning killing people, but it’d be cool to test and see how far he can make people go and if what he writes would really happen. With the bus-jacker, he really tested his limits. He was able to see everything work out word for word what he wrote in the Death Note. The suicide notes he’s been writing has been almost a big game for him to mess with L. Over the series of 3 notes making them say “L do you know Gods of Death love apples?” At first, I didn’t understand that he was using the first word of every line to make a secret note just for L. Now, it makes perfect sense and is almost comical the way he messes with him.     ...

Anyone have book 2?

                Finishing the first book of Death Note, I wish I had the second book to keep reading about Light’s and L’s battle. Their minds are so similar that it makes the book that much more enjoyable to read.                 When Light tried to kill Naomi when he thought she was Shoko, it shows how reliant he is on the Death Note. He starts to freak out when she doesn’t try to commit suicide and that typically doesn’t happen to him. He’s typically very suave and knows every step of his plan 3 steps before they happen. However, he’s smart enough to figure out that she gave him a fake name by thinking about it. “What’s so funny about her name-? It’s an alias!!” (Pages 310-311) His first thought about using force to learn her real name was out of character. He usually uses the Death Note to do all his dirty work and you would thi...
