Chapter 13+14

Chapter 13+14

I found these chapters much more entertaining than the first twelve chapters of the book. Throughout these chapters many exciting things happen; David, Rosalind, and Petra are sought after by the search party from the inspector's office, they are abducted by Fringes people, they are brought before 'spider-man', Petra is in contact with people from Zealand, we learn that 'spider-man' is actually David's uncle, and we learn that he is a creep. First, I'm really excited about Petra's ability to talk to this woman who lives in Zealand. I think this Zealand is probably what our New Zealand was. She says that they have machines like the old people did. I wonder if they were less affected and kept our technology, or if they had to rediscover it for themselves? Next, the Fringes. I love that he didn't make the Fringes people monstrosities. It gets the point of how crazy the Waknuk rules are if they are almost normal. I also like how the author describes the Fringes. How the trees are all wild. Some have different leaves than they should, and some grow along the ground. It sounds kind of beautiful. Lastly, spider-man. What a creep! Not only is he kind of a jerk to David, he is crossing the line with Rosalind as well. I used to think that he would be this super awesome, chill, funny, leader that David would take as a father. Apparently he is just a pervert that is hunting after David's girlfriend. I don't like him. These chapters make me excited to read the rest of the book!
