Reading skills

As I finish the 12th chapter of the book I begin to think of how the rest of the book will be laid out. The book spent the first 12 chapters jumping through 5 different characters points of view and explaining how the day went that the dome fell over the town. Based on this, I predict that the book will spend the rest of the time switching between points of view until the characters meet each other later on in the book.the main reasons that I think this are the fact that books I have read before that have had the same sort of introduction tend to do this, and that before I got the book, I read a comment on Goodreads that had a part of it saying how the book spends the opening introducing characters and how they didn't care for the setup of the book.  I'm still asking myself if the author is going to have the characters meet up early on in the book or if they will meet later. Also, if they can hear one another through the dome, then why is it so hard to penetrate?


This is the trailer for the TV show inspired by the book i'm reading. when I watched it I saw some similarities and some differences.

  1. I like how you used knowledge of previous books to make your prediction. Do you enjoy jumping from different characters point of views? Or do you find it confusing?

  2. I've seen many things from both the book and the TV show, and it looks pretty interesting, a dome separating people inside the dome from the outside world. I think I would agree with you about the 5 characters meeting up in the middle or the end of the book, to try and find a way to escape the dome.

  3. This book/movie reminds me of The Simpsons Movie.

  5. I like how you used the tv trailer to explain the book better, I think it is more interesting than posting a boring author interview.

  7. This seems very similar to the book I am reading, Gone. It is about a small town where a dome comes overtop it. It also hurts to touch it like in your book except in my book everyone older than 15 disappeared and people can't see inside the dome or outside it.
