Daniel X: Demons and Druids
Daniel X Demons and Druids Over dickens hundred thirty million copies of the Daniel X series have been sold worldwide. The author James Patterson wrote Daniel X Demons and Druids in collaboration with Adam Sadler. The publishing date is July 2010. In the book, Daniel X is an alien hunter who is feel for number three on his alien list of startlaws, Phosphorius Beta. Think of a million or so angry wolves-on fire, thats a pretty good approximation of number three, advantageously thats how Patterson raises it. The epic battle between alien hunter and fire has begun.I enjoyed Daniel X because of the authors follow up and how he weaves myths and fiction into the story, but I dislike Pattersons writing style and several different points of the book. James Pattersons novels atomic number 18 known for full on action, and adrenalin. An manakin of action and adrenalin is when Daniel X is caught by alien number forty-three on the alien list of outlaws he turns back cartridge clip and e xplodes number forty-three with a bomb. This is pure action because Daniel puts his life on the line to fulfill his delegacy to kill aliens.Another example of action and adrenalin is when Daniel X and his friends are get caught by vampirus sapiens. In the example of action and adrenalin, the action takes place when he transforms, but the adrenalin kicks in when the vampirus sapien loosened his grip on Daniel Xs hands. James Patterson excels at making abnormal events seem normal or regular. I liked how James Patterson placed Merlin the sorcerer and Arthur Pendragon in the story, and how he make Stonehenge, merely a monument a big part in his story. It is ironic that Patterson weaved Stonehenge, merlin, and druids together.When I venture of druids I think of aliens or demons. Stories, Myths, and books say that druids built Stonehenge, but there isnt any evidence that proves that they did. Druids are in truth high priests of the Celts. The only reason why people believe that they bui lt it is because they were alive during that time. Yet legend has it that merlin built Stonehenge. Merlin brought the stones to Salis bury Plain from Ireland. Sometime later there was a butcher of three hundred noble men and a memorial was needed. Merlin then moved Stonehenge to Britain to bury them.However in the book Merlin and his mentor help a group of people build Stonehenge. so far though James Patterson is a genius when it comes to Science fiction he still needs to forge on writing his books. Even through James Patterson is a great author, I dont always enjoy his books. Two things I didnt like about the book, was that Patterson didnt introduce well in the beginning and that he made the chapters too small. I expected him to explain Daniel Xs history in the prologue so that the readers could understand things about his background and understand what hes been through.Since, Patterson made the chapters in his book so small it really takes time to make or figure out whats goin g to happen. If Patterson had made the chapters longer he would have had wasted less time nerve-racking to make a point, but the only difference would be that the book would be smaller. Patterson introduces Daniel Xs history in chapter nine all the chapters in the book are small and even the epilogue has a small chapter. I loved the book because of all the action and adrenalin that James Patterson put in it, and the abnormal or irregular events that occurs , but I disliked the introduction and Pattersons radical of short chapters.I enjoyed Daniel X because of the authors action and how he weaves myths and fiction into the story, but I disliked Pattersons writing style and several other points of the book. Id recommend this book to preteens, I would give this book a three out of five, but if you are not satisfied, there are several other series that James Patterson has made. For example Maximum Ride, Witch and Wizard, Alex Cross and the Womens reach club, and the rest of the Danie l X series.
