Journal entry #4 The Enemy
Q. Why did you choose this to read? Give 3 examples.

I’ve always been a fan of books. I like all kinds of books; from horror to fairytale the genres are endless. My favorite genre that I have been reading since 4th grade, has been mystery mixed with a bit of horror. I’m that type of guy into those horror movies, like paranormal activity and shows like the walking dead. It excites me and makes me want to see more of that. That’s exactly how I feel with horror books. I will always love Horror books, and The Enemy is a great one. Here are some more reasons why I chose this book.
Well first off, as you may know, I like most genres, but horror is the genre that can get me to the edge of my seat, make me anxious, and gets me biting my nails, I just love it. Another reason why I picked The enemy is because I asked a few people for some good reads, with mystery in them. Most people recommended The Enemy. So I read the first few pages and loved it right away, especially when it said,” They had him over the sidewall, led by a big mother in a tracksuit that might once have been pink but was now so filthy and greasy it looked like plastic. She had a fat, egg-like body on top of long skinny legs. Small Sam was too scared to scream. Sam dodged her for a few seconds, but he knew they’d get hold of him in the end. Sam was stuffed inside a sack.” This paragraph caught my attention and I just couldn’t put the book down. To conclude, picking Then Enemy to read was a great choice for me.
