Book recommendations

After reading "Deception Point" by Dan Brown, I would strongly recommend reading any of his books, like "Digital Fortress", and "The Da Vinci Code". Dan Brown is an amazing author and he writes books that are very descriptive and wonderful. I would also recommend reading a type of book where secrets are being kept from the main characters, and someone is trying to stop them from learning about it, like "Trust" by Tim Metty. All of these books are amazing creations of their authors, and it is definitely worth checking them out to read!

Review of "Deception Point" by Dan Brown

Overall, I give the book "Deception Point" by Dan Brown a 9 out of 10. I gave it that because it was a book that always kept you on the edge of your seat, and made you want to read it again. I did that quite a few times with the ending. I would strongly recommend reading this book If you want to read a book that can keep you awake all night reading it. It is "that" good of a book. Seriously. It is!

If you would like me to answer any questions about the book, I will be more than willing to answer them. This book is definitely one of the best books I have read, and it leaves you hungry for more (in a good way).

What I think is going to happen next in "Deception Point" by Dan Brown

So far, in "Deception Point" by Dan Brown, Rachel has been whisked off to the Arctic Circle to look at a meteor that crashed into an Ice flow, and has something NASA is excited about on it. What I think NASA might be excited about is maybe saying what the Earth is actually made of, or maybe some new element that has never been discovered before, and only comes from the deep reaches of space. Im not really sure what Is going to happen, but I Think it might come between the two people in the election for the president of the United States, but anything could happen. I know that something is going to happen with the meteor, though.

Characters in "Deception Point" by Dan Brown

There are a vast variety of characters in "Deception Point" by Dan Brown. Some are crazy, some are scandalous, and murderous. There is a big contrast between the characters battling an uphill challenge for the presidency of the United States between Sedgewick Sexton and Zach Henry, and they eventually drag many other characters into their conflict for the presidency. Here are a list and some descriptions of some of the main characters.

.Rachel Sexton is the daughter of Senator Sexton and she is not on his side during the race for the presidency and is trying to cope with her father cheating on other people and taking massive amounts of money illegally for his campaign. The president, Henry, wants to use her against her father to help promote a discovery made by NASA to help his side stay in the presidential race.

.Michael Tolland is a researcher that Rachel meets when they arrive at NASA's base on an Ice Flow in the Arctic Ocean. He is the head civilian scientist in charge of verifying NASA's breakthrough discovery that could change the world forever.

.Sedgewick Sexton is a Senator who is running for the presidency, and has the popular vote. He mainly has it because he plans to abolish NASA and use its funding to help kids get better education and help the country, instead of sending fifteen million dollars into space every year to fund the ISS and other projects like that, saying the country would have better uses for the money. He also has been bribing many public space exploration companies, saying that if they fund him, he will do away with NASA and let them do whatever they want in space, with no problems.

.Zach Henry is the current president, and he is a strong supporter of NASA, which he believes is on the verge of a new discovery, and which will get more people to be on his side, after saying that NASA should not be funded any more, and that they should be privatized. He feels like Rachel can help him with getting more support and to keep her dad from being the president.

All of these main characters connect with each other in the text, starting when Sedgewick Sexton wants to talk to his daughter, Rachel, about what he will do as president, and then says nonsense about NASA. When Rachel leaves, President Henry wants to talk with Rachel about NASA's discovery and to keep her dad out of office, and when she arrives at the Arctic base, Michael Tolland is showing her what she needs to know about NASA's discovery.

Tone and Mood in "Trust" by Tim Metty

The tone in "Trust" by Tim Metty is supposed to be serious and sincere. It is that because the main characters are trying their hardest to find who they are looking for. They keep looking until they find what they are looking for, and i is said specifically to the reader what they are trying to do.
The mood that I get from reading "Trust" is a scene of bravery, courage and accomplishment. evidence form the text is where it says "I hopped of the balcony into the fire and ran through it with ease."

A particular moment in the novel that swayed the beliefs of the characters was when Nicholas told the others he was the one they were looking for all along, and everyone believed him when he said it the first time. His tone impacted his persuasiveness by saying what he said in a bold, strong tone and he was believed because of that, and events that happened during the time he realized he was the fourth.

Why I read "Trust" by Tim Metty

I read "Trust" by Tim Metty because he had asked me to review the book for him before it was released to the general public. That's right. I was reviewing his book for him. I think my review even got onto the back cover of the book.
Even If I hadn't reviewed it for him, I think that I would have read it anyways, as he is a family friend of mine, and we love supporting him and his work.
That said, the book was amazing and I felt like it was one of the best things I have read in a long time. I would strongly recommend reading "Trust" if you feel like it, or if you want to read a book from a local author. This book was one of the first books I have gotten to review, and books like these are always great.
And a side note, if you ever get the chance to review a book, take the opportunity. I'ts pretty cool knowing that you are one of the first people in the world to read a certain book. Especially if it gets popular and you have a quote on the back, and thousands of people can read what you said about it. Its a good feeling that everyone can get, if they try hard enough. Reviewing a book is a very great experience.
In short, this book was a great read, and I would strongly recommend it to anyone, no mater what type of books they read.

Book recommendations

After reading "Trust" by Tim Metty, I feel that there are a variety of books like it. I would recommend reading the first book in the series, "Secrets", before reading "Trust"; to better understand the entire series. I would also recommend the "I am number four" series, which has a plotline similar to this. It is a very descriptive series, along with "The Hero Chronicles" (The name of the series that "Secrets" and "Trust" are in).

The main summary of the plot of the book is Nicholas and his friends are trying to find a fourth Thusian, to help keep the "Seekers" and Xavier from wreaking havoc on the world and trying to kill all the Thusians in the world. Nicholas and his friends start going on a large task to find the fourth, while Nicholas goes along his daily life, trying to protect his friends and even see if they are the fourth. Eventually, the find the fourth, and run away from the town after an encounter of Xavier and his wrath.

This book has a very good plot, and I was able to follow it all the way through the book. I would strongly recommend reading this book if you are into novels that make you sit at the edge of your seat.
