About book Dead Water Zone (2007)

Dead Water Zone by Kenneth Oppel is a science fiction story that takes place called Watertown. It focuses on two brothers one is very big and strong and the other is weak and nerdy. The weak ones name is Sam and strong one is Paul. Paul spends most of his life sticking up for Sam.Sam and Paul are brothers they have grown up in a rich neighborhood called Governors Hill all their lives. Sam has a disorder which causes him to be extremely skinny and weak. He goes to the doctor regularly to get medication and treatment. His brother on the other hand is very strong popular and handsome kid. They live a very counseled life style. This all changes when Sam says he’s going to collage but he really goes to a place called water town it is a very poor neighborhood and is known for superstition. I won’t say why Sam went there because it would give away the key purpose of book. When Paul receives an urgent phone call from his brother to come to water town he goes a.s.a.p. When he arrives he experiences some pretty creepy stuff and encounters some interesting people. He meets a brother and sister. The sister is Monica and brother name is Armatige. They are in many stick situations, fights and chases while trying to find Sam. I enjoyed reading this book because it was full of action and suspense. I could almost feel the worries Paul experienced when he was looking for his brother but could not find him. It was also very interesting it caught my attention in many ways it had no boring parts past page fifty. I did also enjoy the flashback which helps enlighten the story and feel more connected to the character. If you like suspense full science fiction nail biting thrillers I HIGHLY recommend this book. I personal hate reading but I could not stop reading this one. I give this 4 out of 5 stars because the ending was happy but it could have ended better.

This book is a great short read for anyone. The book is about a brother who goes to the bad side of town to look for his brother, along the way he learns about the water in water town. Trough this he learned that his brother might be doing something with the water. tPaul receives a phone call from his Brother Sam asking for help in water town. When Paul arrives he meets Monica and her brother, they agree to help Paul track down Sam. They find Sam’s research on the water; they realize he is trying to purify it. Paul finds Sam helping the one responsible for the drinking of the water; when they confront each other things go south.tThis book is a great fiction book. A short read, great for anyone who can’t find a book to read. This will keep you asking questions until the end of the book.

Do You like book Dead Water Zone (2007)?

I thought that this was a pretty good science fiction novel. It was based around a boy, Sam, that ran away to research the water in watertown which is believed to be toxic. Paul is the main character of the story who runs away from home to find his brother Sam. Sam was born with a disease which makes it hard for him to put on weight and muscle. Paul has made it his goal in life to protect his brother from being bullied. The story goes through Paul's struggles to find Sam and ensure his safety. I thought that this was a good book and a quick read and you should definitely check it out!

The book Dead Water Zone is about a buff teenager named Paul looking for his smarter, younger, and more sophisticated brother, Sam, in a poverty inflicted town next to a polluted canal. While looking for Sam, Paul comes across a strange looking girl named Monica who was "so pale, there was something almost vampiric about her"(pg 13) and her similar brother named Armitage. Monica takes Paul in and joins in on looking for Sam. They ask a friend named Decks who said that "men had came around over a week ago with a picture and asked if I'd seen him." (pg 66) Later they get jumped by a small group of people asking about Sam. They uncover information about Sam doing tests on the polluted canal and how the water can change you like making you stronger and lighter. He also mentions a place that he went called Rat Castle where "the dead water is more potent." (pg 100) The team goes to Rat Castle to find that Sam is not who he used to be.I thought this was a good book, but didn't have a very solid ending as loose ends weren't completely tied up with Sam, but other than that it is a good short book that I would recommend to people who like fictional mystery with a little bit of action. You might not want to read this due to its short length as in number of pages and that it has no sequel. The book is pretty straight forward and doesn't require a very high reading level.
