Quarter 2 Blog 1: Vince Flynn's Act of Treason Part 1 (chapters 1 and 2)

This time I am blogging about Vince Flynn's Act of Treason rather than a book that Mrs. Jarrett's daughter is reading. So far in the book, a terrorist attack on the president-elect Alexander fails. A terrorist sets a bomb under a vehicle which was thought to contain the president-elect but didn't and it blows up and kills the president-elect's wife instead. Later on, Agent Kennedy then discusses the national problem with another FBI agent by the name of McMahon. They discuss what had happened and why it might have occurred. Then a man by the name of Baker arrives and has privite business with McMahon. Kennedy leaves and Baker takes out an envelope. Then he pulls out some graphic pictures of Alexander's wife and one of her security guards and explains that this could completely ruin Alexander's chances of winning the election. Then Baker leaves, Kennedy comes in and talks to McMahon again. Then Kennedy suggests special agent Mitch Rapp for the case and the chapter ends. This book is EXTREMELY more exciting than Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The first two chapters already have me excited, unlike Harry Potter where you can already kind of tell what the next step is going to be. This kind of excitement is portaid by this quote, "Before Rivera could give it another thought, there was a thunderous explosion, the limousine started to rise in the air, and then everything went black." (Prelude, P. 26). Not only does this quote want to make you read about what comes up next, it also paints a vivid picture of an explosion of a car in your head. In all these movies you actually see a car blowing up, rising into the air and black smoke spewing everywhere. In other books I've read, explosions are dull like, "The car exploded and it caught on fire." Or "I saw the explosion of the car and the smoke went everywhere." Seriously. But so far Vince Flynn's style of writing has caught my attention and let's hope there's more of that later on in the book. That concludes Part 1 of my blog, come back next week for another one.
