Summary (Section 1 of book)

Zach is a boy living in a mental ward, ever since he was bitten by a dog after his father died. All he really does is sleep during the day, because he has a sunlight allergy, drink strawberry smoothies with all his nutrients, run on the treadmill, watch movies, and read. One day, Zach was running on the treadmill watching movies, when a crazy old man crashes into that wall and shatters the entire thing. The strange old man kept telling Zach to be careful, and to run as police shot him down. Later on, Zach's uncle, Maximillan comes to meet Zach. Maximillan tells Zach that he is a vampire, who was actually not bitten by a dog, but by the Baron, Vrolok (a vampire). After, when Maximillan leaves, the strange old man who crashed into the wall, helps Zach escape the ward, after police and one of Vrolok's contacts tries to capture him.

BOOK FREEZER

This book, not one of my favourites, but it is definately something that wont let you sleep at night... This book has tons of stories, all that happened in Ontario, and all are supposed to be true stories. Some of those stories are pretty local to us living in Ottawa. One was placed in Manotick, another in Toronto... I do forget the author of this book since I read it a couple years back, but those stories are still stuck in my mind, and they never seem to leave me right before I go to sleep, but all day, I never think about it. That is why I would put this book in the freezer.

My second story I would put in the freezer is a short story named "My Dinner Date", by Jenna Kumeiga (it is found on MicroHorror.com. I would put this short story in the freezer because, it starts with a boy seeing his dinner date, but  notices his throat torn open, and he starts building nausea, and vommiting to only notice it was himself.

Books to put in the freezer

This book, although one of my favourites is also the one I would put in the freezer. It's "American horror stories". As the title indicates, it's a book filled with old american horror stories. It's a book filled with bone chilling horror storys. One of the horror stories may not be enough to make you put the book in the freezer, but when you're up late at night reading a ghost story about a murderer, even the slightest sound makes you jump. A door creeking, water trickling from a sink, someone snoring, the accumulative horror stories start to play games with your mind that ultimatly make you place the book in the freezer. Like I said, there isn't a story in perticular that makes me want to put the book in the freezer, but it's after reading multiple storys that you feel the need to put the book away. Whether it be a ghost story, one of a gruesome murder, or anything else, it will be in this book, making you paranoid of even the slightest noise. That in the end is the ultimate reason why I would put this book in the freezer. Although, I wouldn't be against taking it out after a while...

The second book I would put in the freezer is "The death cure" the third book in the Maze runner series. For those of you who don't know, the Maze runner series is about a group of teenagers, all of them where taken from their families at a young age for science. What happened was there was a huge solar flare that devasted the planet, and when it happened there was a deadly virus released from a military lab that destroys people's brains essentially turning them into mad men. So in the Maze runner series, a bunch of kids where taken from their parents and forced to go through rigurous test's so the scienctists could collect their brain patterns to try and find a cure. Death cure is the final book, where they are told the trials have ended, but after years of being deceived the kids did not trust them. So they escaped after being told some of the kids had the virus while others were immune. The reason why I would put this book in the freezer is (Spoiler alert) the main character Thomas has to kill one of his bestfriends, Newt who is infected with the virus. That is the sole reason why I would put the book in the freezer, because with the last bit of sanity left in him, Newt begged Thomas to pull the trigger and kill him. Thomas did, but although he did was his friend wanted, struggled with the guilt of that for the rest of his life. It's a part in the book that alway's makes my stomach turn and even I beg for Thomas not to do it. But he does in the end, he did what his bestfriend wanted him to do, to kill him. That is why I would put that book in the freezer, because of the single scene where he has to kill his bestfriend to save him from insanity.

Raiting: 
Options
1.ribs
2.chicken wings
3.steak
4.salami
5.ham
I made my raiting system so that it is according to which types of meat I like the most.  Ribs as my favorite type of meat and ham as my least favorite.  This book is pretty good but not my favorite book ever, so in my opinion its rated chicken wings.

Describe the Book Threw Food:  This book is like ribs a dark colour black and brown. This book is based on vampires and vampires are evil and dark so ribs is a perfect food to describe this book.  This book also has lots of suspense and you're never going to guess what's going to happen next.  Same with ribs you're never going to know how their going to taste.  I think the best food to describe the book Night Runner is ribs.

SUMMARY (part 3)
The book our group is reading in Lit Circle is called ''Night Runner''. Its a book that will keep the page turning. The main character is called Zachary, he got a little misunderstood with the federal police. His mysterious and weird uncled Maximilius saved him and brought him home. Over there, Zach discovers shocking news about the Baron and Maximilius (Zach's Uncle). Baron is a vampire who killed Zach's parents. Maximilius betrayed Zach to fight on the Baron's side. The Baron tried hard to get Zack in two but obviously failed. Vorlok (other name for Baron) has Charlie, the one Zach met at the ward and Luna who is the blind date Zach went with. He has them both in hostage. The end, Zach dies like everybody else, they go to this afterlife world. Its in the epilogue

DESCRIBE THE BOOK THROUGH FOOD :The last part of the book can be explained through cinammon because when you taste it, it has this disgusting taste that you don't really like because it kind of gives you nausea and at the end it has a spicy taste that's real;y unexpected like when Jack's uncle went with the Baron.

RATING
5)Nyjah Houston
4)Shane Oneill
3)Chaz Ortiz
2)Tom Asta
1)Jimmy Carlin

REASONING OF RATING SYSTEM: I chose Tom Asta for the book because its not the best and worst book I have read. Its the same thing with Tom Asta he's kind of in the middle.The book still has that suspense so you want to keep turning the page so its hard to stop, just like Tom Asta, you are waiting for that big thing to happen.

Zach was tracked down by Vrolok and had his first taste of human blood, but before anything bad could happen his uncle saved him and took him to his office. There he met Vrolok and was told of the offers that awaited him, but he could only go through with them if he chose for his two friends to be killed at Vroloks hand's. He refused and had a confrontation with Vrolok where Ophealia stepped in and came out of no where with his uncle Max tied up, a fight insued where the windows got blown out and Zach drank out his bestfriend Charlie dry until he died to survive and most likely killed the Baron. Zach died but went to a new life as a vampire with Ophealia, Charlie and Luna.

Page 260 " He's a loose end waiting to be tied up."

 This part of the book to me is like creme brule, it's hard and crusty on the outside, but once you break the shell, it's oozing out with deliciousness. It was hard to enjoy at first, but once you got into it, it became more and more enjoyable.

 I rate this book 3 days grace, because that is one of my top 5 favourite bands. It's not first on my list, but it's not last. It's in the middle.
