Thirteen Days To Midnight (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
Thirteen days to midnight is a very powerfully written book about a boy named Jacob Fielding and his friends Milo and Ophelia, who they call Oh. Jacob learns that he has the power to be indestructible and can pass the power on to other people. They start to use the power to save lives, but one day it all goes bad. How do you decide who lives or dies? They find out that you can’t cheat death. It had some strong language and some romance so I would recommend this book to people who are ten and up. I would also recommend this book to anybody who likes a good nail-biting mystery and suspense novel. Thirteen Days to Midnight by: Patrick Carman Review by Alex Entz In the book Thirteen Days to Midnight by Patrick Carman, Jacob Fielding, the main character, is a foster child who travels from home to home. Once he enters high school he is officially taken into care from a man named Mr. Fielding who is like a father to him, though they never got to spend enough time together to truly bond. One year after Jacobs adoption when Jacob and Mr. Fielding were on another one of their annual road trips when they crashed, going 60 miles per hour, into a tree that should have killed them both.But right before impact, Mr. Fielding passed a special power to Jacob through the words “You are indestructible” leaving Jacob, his friend, Milo, and girlfriend, Oh, to figure it out on their own. I truly think was a great book and recommend it to anyone searching for a sci-fi action packed, mystery. Throughout the whole book it keeps you thinking and wondering. The book starts off strong right away and you're always wanting to turn the page. Patrick Carman really gets the reader involved too. The question Jacob Fielding kept asking the reader, what power if you could have only one, what would it be? The school groups in the story really relate to real life situations. Overall I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars because of the overall action, mystery, and the attention capturing ending.
