Reading Response on "The Stonekeeper’s Curse"


                Now I finished the second book of the Amulet series called “The Stonekeeper’s Curse” and as I expected it was better than the first book. I forget what the first book was really about and so it was a little difficult understanding the second book completely. This happened to me with another book which I think was called “Maximum Ride”. It was confusing because I was reading book five before reading any of the other books in the series that came before it. I understood most of the Stonekeeper’s book because some new characters were still being introduced because they weren’t fully into the climax yet. Usually in most books, once the main character is in the climax not many new characters are introduced.                   
            I liked this book because it was very intriguing, both the pictures and the words were bringing me into the book. It felt like I was there, with the characters while they were fighting and looking for cures. I think that the author Kazu Kibuishi did a great job in giving and drawing every single detail. I am not exactly sure if Kazu Kibuishi drew the pictures but who did do it did a great job. In this book a girl finds an amulet and then she can’t take it off of her. She has to make a choice, to either fulfill all of the duties of the amulet and have her mother cured or decide not to be the stonekeeper and have her mother die.
            I hope that if I were to be a writer one day I would write graphic novels just the way these writers do. I want to draw or however they made those pictures just as good or even better. Some of those pictures could have been done on a computer. In the end this book was great and I hope to read more books like these graphic novels I’ve read.
