The Dark Hills Divided By: Lauren

To start with I read the book the Dark Hills Divided. What I enjoyed throughout the whole book was the very detailed meaning and setting. When the author [Patrick Carmen] gets into the setting he describes every single moment in the book with excruciating detail, weather it’s a character and what he’s wearing to dinner, or the way the wall looks from the other side. Either way Patrick Carmen is one of the best writers when it comes right down to it. One part that didn’t really care for was the fact that in the begging of the book was a slow moving and pretty boring at the begging. It really made me feel like putting the book down and never even read it again, but believe me. It gets a lot better!

To begin the book began on a lean and dusty pathway. Two of the main characters ride on their horseback carriage to get to the place where all the secrets will be told this summer. Alexa Daley and her father are going away from there home town of Lunenburg to the old town of Bridewell. They discover amazing secretive objects that have been hidden for a while now. When they arrive at Bridwell, the Renny lodge greets them where they will stay for the whole summer. The whole city is completely surrounded by the walls that separate the dark hills and the regular day life in Bridwell. Bridwell and the dark hills once lived in peace just like our world, but eventually them and us feel like there lives aren’t important and they’re dangerous. Just like the people in Bridwell’s people are limiting the animals’ habitat so are we. By cutting down the rain forest. Now it’s a battle against the human race and the animals’.

The characters I feel make the book so great. For instance Alexa Daley, the young adventurer willing to do the unbelievable to find out what is going on behind that wall she’s long to see over. Alexa is a young driven girl that part of her personality has not gotten on the good side of side of everyone, especially the tower guard, Pervis Kotcher. Pervis is a cantankerous young man. He is the head guard at the gate and he makes sure that Alexa and him don’t get along. Alexa’s dad, Mr.Daley, is the next head master. He checks that all meetings are in progress and running smoothly. He really does almost anything and everything that you could think of. At the top of the top you then have warvold, My personal favorite. He’s the man that gives the secrets to where the dark hills start and how to get to them. Warvold is the heart and soul of bridwell and to bridwell he make the world go around. He knows bridell like the bak of his hand.

Without a doubt I recommend this book to anyone who likes a shocker and a punch of action. This book is the best book I’ve ever read. This book is a good read for anyone over the age of 11 and 12 old. If you’re into action, adventure and a heart stopper, then the dark hills Divided is the book for you.
