Overhead, a tangle of wires trailed down from poles overhead into various windows where the locals had managed to tap into the city streetlights for free electricity.
Here's an example of the repeated descriptions. Not very well thought out. Descriptive, but some attention could have been paid to final product.
The W74 camp was named after the element tungsten, or Wolframite, for which W is the chemical symbol and which occupies position 74 of the periodic table.
These descriptions are so technical. Did we really need all the extra stuff?
He was beyond feeling. All that remained was a curiosity about the meaning of it all. How had it come to this? Despite his best efforts, his options had been reduced to two: die or stay alive long enough for his luck to change.
I liked the desperation in which this was written.
If ever there were a time when he might feel compelled to take a piece, it was now. But upon considering it, Werner realized that he had no appetite. For the first time he could recall, he did not crave the chocolate. Okay, he thought, he wouldn't eat it just now. But what if he never got the craving back and something happened to him first? It would be a crime to waste the chocolate. Yet he had no friends left to whom he would want to give it.
The overhead lights flickered three times, marking the two-minute signal before lights out. Werner felt compelled to decide about the chocolate now, before darkness fell and someone attempted to steal it.
Enough with the obsession on chocolate already! Am I the only one annoyed by this?
I never was really sure how I felt about this book. It was an interesting idea, but I guess because I came in on the second book of a series I just didn't catch on to the writing style?
