Authors purpose:
I think that the authors purpose for writing this book is to entertain the reader, because, there were many times in the book where there would be a plot changing twist that would be unexpected and would keep me hooked on to read more. There was also a constant balance between the happy, funny, sad, and suspenseful parts of the book. That way I was always interested. Another thing that kept the reader entertained was the fact that the author foreshadowed many of the events, so the reader had to keep on reading to find out what actually happened! Also, the author kept the book entertaining because he kept the book on the topic of science fiction and aliens, and didn't have other things going on, like romance or other things like that. Although there were a couple of parts that were funny, it didn't go off the lines of what the book was about. The funny and dramatic parts were there just to keep the book interesting. Over all, the authors purpose of the novel was to entertain the reader with the genre of science fiction.
