#7 How did what you read make you feel? Why?

What I read made me feel a little scared. The book explained that the Russian navy could easily blockade our coast without us being able to do anything about it. In the book the Russians are looking for a rogue submarine and setting up a look out for the boat but this could also turn into a blockade of our coast. However , I felt safer when the Americans showed the Russians they could easily sink their boats. They did this by dropping flares on their ships. But the fact that the Americans could be blockaded so easily still scares me.

#12 Do you think you would read another book by this author? Why or why not?

I think I would read another book by this author because his book is challenging for me to read and that is very rare. I also like how he writes. Every sentence is suspenseful and the book has a clear plot that is apparent right from the first page. The only down side to this book is that it is so long. It does not have much pages but each page has an ocean of words that you have to swim through to get through the page. If I were to read another one of his books, I would do it over a longer period of time or I would read a shorter one of his books. But all-in-all, he is one of the best authors I know.
