The organization Help Earth, is a terrorist group that thinks, killing people/resources most people need to survive, will help the world, even if the people are always working full-time, or the resources are used every day.

Didplace.
Although the novel did not help youme in any way?
No, this novel did not,aspect of life, it does not havewas a well written book, and the whole story is very well written. There was no main theme, or a moral. Nonemoral, which may have taught me something. But, also, none of the characters tryever really go in to teach anyone first handdetail about anything they are doing, or how to fix, clean, make, etc.fix or make anything. And since
As the novel has no moral, message, or main theme, the book doesabove statement says, I did not have anything to teach you afterwards.
Did you learn anything from the novel?
Just likenovel, as no one in the answer above, none ofbook teaches any one anything first-hand, and the characters try to teach anyone first hand how to fix, clean, make, etc. anything.
What did you find most interesting?
Whatbook does not have a main theme, or moral.
Something I find mostfound interesting is,in the novel, was the plot twists,twists. They were so complex, and distorted the characters. The plot twists distort the story, makingstory so much that, it harderwas almost impossible to solve. Which I love. The characters, are all different, even if just being in a small way.figure out what was going to happen next. But I would say it gives"spices up" the book a little "spice" and makesstory furthermore.
The most bizarre thing I noticed in the novel was, the characters seem more realistic.
What did you find most bizarre?
The sudden switch from one personchange between different people, and different scenes. The changes just seemed to the next,change at will, like there was no rhyme or reason for one page, then changing backthem to the original person, is very bizarre to me. I really do not think this would help the book.change. After seeing James (Main Character)the main character for 35 pages, then all of a sudden Lauren (James' sister)change to a sub character for half a page, really just seems, quite inconvenient.
Whatpage was most believable or unbelievable?
The most unbelievable thing in the book was,quite strange.
I must say that, basically the whole book, kids that are orphaned getting turned in to combat-trained soldiers/spies seems un-realistic to me. Especiallybook was unbelievable, especially the fact that,parts of the kids somehow, never get caught, even thoughbook where, after the worldmain character being seen by 6 different people, all of a sudden he is so technologically advanced that, sooner or later, something such asable to disappear, to me, with the campus, ortechnology we had back between 2006-2007, I think the people, will be found, and then thereUnited States would be a raid ofhave found the secret campus, or the person would be heavily looked for.
Would your recommend this book to any one? Why or why not?several years before 2007.
I would book to any one. Unlessanyone. The reason being because unless the person is a very intellectual person,smart, and likesdoes not like reading books with big words/more detailed moments inmeant for teens to young adults, the book, then I wouldbook is quite amusing, and not recommend this to any one.only about serious issues. The booknovel is very easy to the speech in the novel is not thattoo hard to and the story linestoryline is very interesting, and easy to pick up. Theinteresting. But the book is also,also not too kiddy-like for a older person to little-kiddishlike reading.
I will definitely read more novels by Robert Muchamore, especially since this novel is smack in the middle of a series of books. This book also greatly appeals to my thirst for an adult-teen levelaction, suspense, crime, and fighting. One of the immediate, and easiest genres to find, is the action/fighting genre, because the initial 5 pages are about the main character, and his training session in the Dojo on the campus.
Thanks for reading.
Will you read any more novels by this author?
Yes, I will read more of the novels by Robert Muchamore. The book appeals to my thrill for, action, suspense, and sci-fi. Some of these are detail's are quite obvious, such as during the very beginning of the book, where James has to battle many people just to get over the initial problem. This is obviously, action/fighting.

After seeing James (Main Character) for 3 pages, then all of a sudden Lauren (James' sister) for half a page, really just seems, quite inconvenient.
What was or unbelievable?
WouldThe most unbelievable thing in the book was, the basically the whole book, kids that are orphaned getting turned in to combat-trained and well skilled with every aspect of life seems un-realistic to me.

Unless the person is a very intellectual person, and likes reading books with big words/more detailed moments in the book, then I would not recommend this to any one. The book is easy to follow, the speech in the novel is not that hard to comprehend, and the story line is very interesting, and easy to pick up. The book is also, not to little-kiddish for an adult-teen level of reading.

Divine Madness by Robert Muchamore
Book read. Date: Tuesday, January 11th, 2011
So far, the plot of the story is about getting out of the Ark alive, for Rat, James Adams and Lauren Adams. The plot for Dana right now is, trying to take over the boat she is traveling in through the Indonesian sea. James, Rat, and Lauren have been enclosed in a room, with 6 other little children age 1-10. Dana on the other hand, is stuck on a boat, feeling very “nervous” about the challenge ahead for her, she has been going to the bathroom to get various tools. In the end, everyone gets out alive. Lauren earns a black shirt, the highest shirt you can get. Dana is shot in the toe, after getting in a fight with the woman on the boat.
You are never told who is telling the story, it may have just been in a 3rd person format for the purpose to switch between characters more easily. This does change how the story is being told, because you do not see the world through the main character’s eyes. Which changes how everything is placed, and how the people think.
The climax of the novel is when, James is feeling bad for himself, after he stepped in to a large sewage tank, and did not notice a barge that would have let him walk across the whole tank, without falling in to the sewage. All of a sudden, The Ark explodes, and James blacks out, later we learn that about 80-90% of the people in the Ark have died. Also another climax possibility is when, Dana is fighting to lady on the boat, and she is shot in the foot, and the woman and Barry Cox are both tied up.
There does not seem to be a main theme or message, this may be because, the novel was not intended to have a lesson that teaches anyone anything. The author I am guessing, just wanted to write a series about people that are well-taught in combat training, and fitness tests every once in a while.
