I just started reading the book "Leviathan" by Scott Westerfield, and at first I thought this book would take me forever to read and finish the book, since it has almost 500 pages. Burt now I don't think it'll take that long at all.
I've read only about the first sixty pages so far and I already think it's awesome. It's just what I like in books: action, violence, and lots of suspense. That's because this is a science fiction/fantasy book about most of Eastern Europe at war. It takes place all countries like England, France, Austria, and Russia, but i think there'll be even more when I get further into the book.
There are two main characters: Alek and Deryn. Alek is a royal prince in England who is obsessed with the idea of war, like all kids are, since they think it's so cool and stuff. But then the action instantly starts as his servants take him outside in the middle of the night, put him in a war machine, and try to lead him to safety out of the city because he might get assassinated, since his parents were assassinated just recently. Yeah, the beginning is kind of confusing.
And Deryn is a tom-boyish girl who really wants to be a pilot so after months of studying and pretending to be a guy (girls supposedly aren't allowe to be pilots) so she can take the test and hopefully pass it. And so far, she's a lot more fearless than all the other boys around!
