The reason I chose Maggot Moon out of all of the books onthe list is because I like a book with mystery and I thought this one sounded like the kind of book I would enjoy because of the mystery. It sounded like the most gripping book. I can relate the the novel because if that was me in Standish's position I would handle it the same way and I would go through what he does to find my best friend and I wouldn't care about the consequences or the what ifs or buts about what I would have to do to find them. And once I had my mind made up and my plans set there would be no changing my mind about it.
I would recommend this book to people who like a good mystery and like to be kept constantly hanging by the story. People who just want to keep reading until the the story has been resolved and like a book that will keep you thinking even after the big finish. It is also kind of a strange setting and you never know what might go wrong. I personally really enjoyed reading this book it had a lot of "ups" and "downs" it was a book I couldn't put down and I would read it again.

Entry three
Today I am going to try and get you (the reader) interested in reading this book so in order to get you "hooked" I am going to supply a section of my book (maggot moon) without spoiling the end for you. In this section Standish has escaped his section but his life will not just miraculously turn into sunshine and rainbows! He still has some unfinished work to do and some new information. The information I am talking about is that maybe these people who suddenly "disappear" from the section, maybe, they don't just simply disappear, maybe, they are taken away to the motherland, to work and help make propaganda films! They don't have a fantastic life, they are all kept hostage and abused. Standish is hoping to go and free his best friend he had ever had Hector. Let's hope he hasn't been killed before he gets there.
So he has just got to the place where they are kept hostage!
"You're lucky" says the guard. "The last boy died". He walks me down a metal spiral staircase which seems to go round and round and on forever. At the bottom there is an endless white corridor, the lights running along the middle in small shades that throw triangles of blinding brightness. On each side are rows of metal doors with thick submarine glass at the top. Still we keep walking. Im not sure where the lucky comes into this. The guard's steel-capped boots echo the sound of a marching army. Apart from our footsteps there is an eerie silence down here it seems to be deserted. I feel as if I'm being buried alive. The place smells of metal and earth.
And still we keep walking."
