First Assignment!

Well, this wouldn't post until I tried it on my computer yesterday, where it shut off before I posted it. Fortunately I was smart enough to save then, and check this morning...
So without further adieu, here is my first assignment!
I think my favorite book is Alex Rider: Stormbreaker. It is by no means the best book I have ever read, in any sense. But it is the first ever book that got me into reading a lot, so I am ever grateful to it.
My favorite genres are fantasy, Sci-Fi and action/adventure. I like reading about what probably won't happen (or definitely won't happen) to me. I like that because I read it without feeling like this could happen to me and it transports me to another world so I can read about them, not me.
The book I am reading right now is Shadow Wave by Robert Muchamore, the final CHERUB book. I am not too far into it. Anyway, it starts with James revealing to his girlfriend that he wants to move to America with her. She isn't so sure, and James becomes sad. Then we start to follow Kyle, James' best friend, who is training recruits in Malaysia. A huge tsunami hits, undetected by radar. Kyle saves a bunch of natives, who are forced out of their homes by the government, causing Kyle to become angry and he and his native friend try to figure out what to do. The native friend thinks war is the answer but Kyle goes with a more peaceful approach. He calls a charity who was made for this sort of event called Guilt Trips. He has the head go down to Malaysia to meet with Kyle's native friend. He once again preaches his war-like ambitions, which Guilt Trips leader quickly dismisses. The native calls Kyle and informs him of Guilt Trips plan, which Has Kyle sending a letter to newspapers, which incidentally is where the head of Guilt. Trips works.
