  **Daniel X Review**



 

The review is going to be Q and A based and about theme (challenges). I hope you like it !!! Theme: Challenges

Thematic STATEMENT: Challenges are difficult, but friends help.

Title: The Dangerous Days of Daniel X Author: James Patterson & Michael Ledwidge

Setting: Ohio and Alpar Nok

Point of view: First Person

Main Characters and a BRIEF description of each: Daniel - a human-looking alien who can manipulate things with his mind Ergent Seth - a horse-headed alien that wants to destroy and re-colonize Terra Firma; he is number six on The List

Central conflict and how it was related to the theme: Daniel must defeat Ergent Seth who is number six on The List. This is the first time he has fought someone in the "top ten". He creates friends with his mind in order to help him defeat Ergent Seth.

How was the theme developed? (Give specific examples from the story that support the theme) The List gives Daniel the information that Ergent Seth is trying to destroy Terra Firma. Daniel must track Ergent Seth to find him. When he finds Ergent Seth, Daniel is shot and kidnapped. He has to escape with his friends' help and find a way to destroy Ergent Seth.

--Which was your favorite? Why? Daniel X was my favorite because it is more futuristic. It has cool technology and an interesting storyline. Also, I love James Patterson's writing!
