THE RED PYRAMID

PAGES : 311/516

The story continued from a very enticing sub-title "A bad trip to Paris". Who doesn't like to go to Paris. I myself have always been wanting to go to Paris. I love to picture myself strolling around the small alley in Paris. Admiring the beautiful architecture and the warm- soothing street lamp radiating through the entire alley. Well, like a lot of people says, visiting a place as a tourist is different than as a non-tourist.  Just like Sadie and Carter in the story, they had to travel from one place to another to escape from something life-threatening. And Paris just happened to be their next destination. 

I think this story keep changing locations. From London to Washington to Egypt then to Paris. Well, the writer's description is epic. We got to know enough details of from every place to differ them from each other. But in my opinion, every place especially country has their own culture and lifestyle. Still, it's quite confusing when the writer tried to mix all of it together. 

From the reading this week, I learned that Sadie and Carter have already got the grasp of their power -unconsciously. Another scene where they used their power was when they were battling the enemy's pawn in Elvis Presley's hideout. Well, I think the story got ridiculous when the writer explained about Elvis Presley being a magician. Which made Sadie and Carter had to sneak into his tomb to obtain the important magic item. Even though, I have a better picture now of how Presley's hideout like without going there. But I think how the writer trying to connect the real world and his fiction is little bit risky. But overall, it's still a good book to read.
