Book Love Book Club - Surviving The Extremes
1.
“Even without rainfall, humans can traverse the driest of deserts in they can find water hidden below the surface. Oceans also have oases of freshwater-small, mobile collections of drinkable fluid found within the body cavities of fish, turtles, and birds. Sea life can provide at least some water if you know where to look. The blood of freshly killed turtles and birds can be drunk like gravy in the minute or so before it coagulates. An average turtles will yield about 4 cups, if collected under the neck the artery is severed. Turtle meat and fish fillets also have moisture in them, and it can be extracted before drying by wrapping the pieces

To be quite honest I just thought the book was just okay, because it does not have much of a storyline even though their were short stories in every chapter. Sometimes the book did make me want to fall asleep because some of the chapters were very boring and some were exciting. I do connect with the character of the novel Surviving The Extremes because he was just a regular doctor working in a hospital and decided he was done working in a hospital and wanted to go explore like I would like to do. My favorite part of the book is probably the High Seas story because it is about sailing, which I love to do. The downside to that chapter is that the boat capsizes and the people have to get in a life raft which is small and cramped. I would recommend this book to a classmate even though I think it is just okay because it's an adventurous-action book which a lot of people like. An action, adventurer, and survivalist type reader would like this novel because it talks about how multiple people have survived in harsh environments around the

    And as in most books, the main character develops throughout the book, learning from his or hers mistakes and whatever else they might have come across. "What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger" is a saying that many live by, or turn to in bad times. What it means is basically that it is impossible to know which roads to take in life. You might experience a rough time once in a while, but life is about learning, and this is what you learn from. Secondly you will learn that if you choose one that is a blind alley you should probably consider an alternative the next time you have to a similar decision.…

    I thought that this book was adventurous and exciting. The author gave a lot of detail and the story line was very interesting. I liked the plot because it was exciting and Charlotte goes through a big change in the story. The book kept me wondering what would happen next. I did not like how the story ended though because it is probably not what I would have done. I could relate to Charlotte when she wanted to help the crew and become a part of them because that is how I would have felt to. I would have felt…

    This book included some really good detailed scenes and also some scenes that did not make sense to me. However, through all of the super intense scenes, I have had to put the book down to process what just happened, because of all the things that happened all at once. This book, is they type of book that has you hooked from the beginning to the end. I loved how the author had stuffed the part of Katie waking up on the cabin floor, on the first pages. It really kept me hooked.…

    The literature was very well written and you were able to feel the connection between you and the characters. For example when Will and his father were traveling down the stairwell and came to the levels where the main point of the fire was, you could almost feel the heat like you were right beside them. This helped me imagine what these people in this disaster were going through, it really put what happened in perspective for me. Having these outstanding details helped me understand the severity of this horrible event. There were many parts in the story where you could feel the characters pain or struggle, like when Will tripped over a piece of cement when the tower had collapsed, I could feel the pain that he was going through when he thought he lost his father for ever. I feel like this book could improve if there was a little bit more advanced vocabulary, especially during the very intense moments. I would have also liked to see more of an ending, like what happened when they went to pick up Will's friend from the fire station or what happened when he got home to his mom. Having something at the end like that would have made to story more interesting at the end, not just them getting to safety and then the story ending. Overall this book was very intriguing and well written, and I would definitely read this book…

    I enjoyed this book thoroughly and always kept me intrigued until the end. It had small twists in it that were rather easy to interpret but it was also very interesting. I don’t particularly relate to this book, although situations that I’ve endured have changed my perspective on life, in a positive aspect, and made me unprejudiced and versatile and not so…

    It was quite boring and not much occurred until near the end of the book. Subhi’s mother lies in bed sleeping for most of the story, while Jimmie and Subhi constantly meet up with each other to tell stories. I was hoping for some more action and conflicts to help stay interested. Nevertheless, it is difficult to find anything else not to like about the book. The writing style is fantastic, it flows smoothly, and it gives a great view of what it is like to live in a detention center or refugee camp.…

    In the first paragraph alone, many important aspects of the narrator's character are revealed. It is revealed to the reader that the narrator was in love and is grieving for the woman he loved. It is also in the first paragraph where the major conflict is revealed. The major conflict, in which the narrator is involved, is his own torment from the memory of his dead wife. This is evident when the narrator says, "When I saw our room again, our bed, our furniture, everything that remains of the life of a human being after death – I was seized by such a violent attack of fresh grief that I felt like opening the window and throwing myself onto the street." Initially, the author intends the reader to feel sorry for the narrator and his loss. The thing that motivates the narrator in the conflict is his resolution to finish grieving before it consumes him. This is evident when he says, "Happy is the man whose heart forgets everything that it has contained."…

    If I were to grade this book, I would give it an A++ because this is a very good book and shows that humans have the will to push through any obstacle. Even though they have gone through all of that God did not give them a break and show them mercy. Despite their hard troubles, they pushed through all the sadness and despair and turned it around to help other people not make the same mistakes as them.…

    The book resembles the allegory of our life. We put something partially alien to us to win others: studies, appearances, clothes ... and we make them so connatural that they become a second skin. Nobody misses it because everyone has their own armor, carved for years. Until one day we have to remove it and it gives us fear to face reality.…
