media type="custom" key="7802571" Paul Zidal's //Rats// was a book that was a huge, action-packed book that hypnotized me with its too good to be true, acion and violence, and mind blowing ending. The scientific topic is rats and how they can turn deadly, their actions in the type of situation that that story was like. The authors style was third-person. But it was also like you could feel yourself in some of those situations. This is a straight up action book, but yet still has a little funny dialoge in it, which is a huge reason I love this book. It is definitely a unique book because of the style, meaning it's not one of those novels, it's like tv in your head, where you can almost feel the intensity and thrill of the book. Some of the main characters are Michael, Sarah,and Mack MaCafee. Michael is like any other boy, he loves skateboarding, playing video games, watching tv, and messing with his sister. That sounds just like me, so I can relate, which made me love the book. Sarah, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. She is annoyed by boys, goes on her laptop, really smart, and obedient. She also knows when to nag and when to be a leader. Because she always nags at Michael so much, she kind of is a turn-off, but is a great person overall. Mack MaCafee is a completely normal buisnessman, and the father of Michael and Sarah. He doesn't make much of a difference in my opinion of the book. The setting is kind of like the world that we live in because it is based on super-rats (due to nuclear waste) that mass produce and invade New York, with chaos, destruction, and death. I can definatly see the setting. The plot is in a dump outside of New York that gets taken over by rats, and then advance to New York, were two kids, Micheal and Sarah, try to destroy the soon-to-be invaders. THey try to save their friends and neighbors, but most get killed. The two then flee elsewhere, each time getting hunted down. Michael's pet rat starts going awry. The ending is what you are going to have to figure out by yourself. One connection I can make is with the huge mosquito increase last summer, witch resembles the rat increase in thebook. Another is hoe my two cousins Xander and Annika hate each other, just like Michael and Sarah. If I can make these connections, then so can you. There are so much action-packed parts and so much book! You HAVE to raed this book. All in all, I really recommend this book for everyone. Best book ever.
