Stone Cold (Puffin teenage fiction)

Product Information

not gonna lie it was quite boring. Maybe if he got together with Gail at the end or he got off the streets I would have liked it more. Instead it ends as it begins with Link homeless and alone on the streets. Also he should have saved Sappho and they could have been homeless together. That would have been nice.

The two different POVs added something extra to this book. Even if they hadn't been written in different font (nice touch), their voices were so different that you immediately knew they were from different characters. One was much more sinister and his story was slowly revealed throughout. I thought this was really well done.I read some of this with school. Normally when you read books with school you never finish them and they always tend to be quite boring. Well according to my stereotype i did never finish it but it wasnt actually that boring, although in some parts iI'm not gonna lie were boring. Me and my friend were just dreading the idea of having to get this book out and read yet another chapter. In the end though we agreed that it was in actual fact wasn't as bad as we initially thought.

Most of us can’t relate to the characters as we are not homeless but they did a very good job of portraying the way that homeless people are thought of in society and how they are treated. I think that one of the main reasons for this book being written was to show the hardships that people without homes and jobs have to face every day. It also helps to open your eyes to all the things in our lives that we take for granted Gail takes a long telephone call and Link wanders off by himself, where he is approached by an old man. Unbeknownst to Link, it is Shelter, who uses the excuse of a missing cat to lure Link into a building. Brianna and Andrew Lincoln are middle-aged thrill killers, independently wealthy from a patent Andrew obtained for an optical scanner he invented while practicing medicine. The couple moved to Paradise and began selecting random people and murdering them while videotaping their crimes. Later they find erotic pleasure in watching the videos of the murders while having sex. Jesse and Luther pay the Lincolns a visit and briefly interview the couple, who show interest in the murders. As they leave, Jesse tells Luther that the Lincolns are the killers. Stone Cold is the first in a series of nine television films based on Parker's Jesse Stone novels. The film first aired on the CBS television network February 20, 2005. Even though it was broadcast first in the series of films, it actually takes place after the second film of the series, Jesse Stone: Night Passage, which aired a year after this.

Set on exposing the real story behind the closed doors of America’s leaders, they draw upon their vast experience to seek justice and the truth. Sunday Times One of the world's biggest-selling thriller writers, Baldacci needs no introduction . . . Brilliant plotting, heart-grabbing action and characters to die for The writing (often in vernacular) was very engaging and relatable. I thought this was an effective way of helping us understand the characters better.

Read this is school. This book was boring and if it hadn't been for school I wouldn't have read it. I didn't look forward to reading the book and it made the schoolwork that much worse because there wasn't much to write about. There were many themes that ran throughout the novel which meant that the actual plot wasn’t boring. The theme of loss is shown when Link leaves his house and loses basically everything and is forced onto the street. Adventure and courage are both shown when Link is on the street and has to stand up for himself and only survives on what he gets from begging. Even love is shown in the novel when Link meets a beautiful lady named Gail who he instantly falls in love with after seeing her.
