New book :)

If you have read my last post, you should know that I've started to read a book called Taken. My brother recommended it to me and told me it is a very interesting and good book, so I'm going to start reading it!

I currently just started the second chapter in this book. In the first chapter it goes into detail about one of the four main characters life, Judd. He actually runs away from home. This is quite shocking to me considering how he grew up in a Christian home and always listened to his parents. But it says that over the years he drifted from that and became embarrassed of going to church and participating in church related events.

            His parents-specifically mom- are very tough on him and he thought that getting away would be a good choice. He didn't do it because it was all overwhelming to him though. He simply did it because he wanted to live a little. (Not a good choice in my opinion) The last sentence of the first chapter says, "Judd Thompson Jr. couldn't wait. This was already the most exciting night of his life" (Jenkins, LaHaye 10). This quote goes further on to support that all he wants is a little fun. I'm curious as to what's going to happen to him though. Will he get caught for running away? Is he going to regret his decision once he realizes what he's doing? How are the other characters going to play a part in his life?

Those are most of my thoughts going into the second chapter. Personally, I would never do anything as risky as to what Judd is doing. I would be too scared of the consequences that I would be bombarded with once reality kicks in.
