Who is the author of firestorm

Apr 02, Spencer rated it liked it. This is a good book about what people around the world have done to Earth. Jack travels around the world to try to make the present become better than the past by helping the Earth. This book is good and easy to understand at times. A great book for teenagers because is helps inform them about the effects of what we have done to this Earth.

Nov 22, Crystal rated it it was amazing. Absolutely exhilarating. This book is action packed and keeps you on the edge of your seat! The character are amazong and the book in relatable. Highly recommend. It makes you think about how humans are really doing to the Earth. Dec 11, Brian O'Leary rated it liked it. Good main character, a football star who finds he is from the future and has a telepathic dog, but after the cool idea wears off, it gets very repetitive.

Oct 06, Graham rated it it was amazing. Firestorm was a great book. The book tells the story of a teenager having to save the world from the face of evil. Jack has to stop the dark army from polluting the Earth and killing everyone on it. It was very simple to understand and a great read. Each page made you want to read more.

Not a single page was a boring page. I strongly re Firestorm was a great book. I strongly recommend you read this book. Oct 31, Jake rated it it was ok. My first quarter independent reading novel was Firestorm by David Klass.

It is a fantasy thriller written in the first person view of Jack Danielson, who has abnormal adventures and is part of a prophecy to save earth from the destruction that is going to be caused by the Dark Army.

Firestorm had, in my opinion, one main strength, one main weakness, and one aspect that could be either perceived as good or bad, depending on the reader. A main strength of Firestorm was that there was constant actio My first quarter independent reading novel was Firestorm by David Klass. A main strength of Firestorm was that there was constant action. There was little time in between action, plot twists, and plot re-twists.

My favorite action scene was shortly after Jack was duped by Gisco, the telepathic dog. He is able to outsmart the ninja and get it into a position where he is in total control and can get some information about this life that is a total lie to him Danielson is constantly questioning who he can trust, too.

An example of this is when the dog from one thousand years into the future he telepathically communicates with and comes to trust tricks him into getting locked in a barn, wondering how he could be such a fool But the plot twists were a negative as well. The story became complicated and confusing at times. Eko was one of those characters.

She went from being thought of as a male ninja that was there to beat information out of Jack 89 , to being his combat trainer 98 , to being his sex coach , and finally being realized as his soul mate A dynamic plot is a good thing to keep a reader on his or her toes, but I think Klass went a little too far with it.

And it also made the whole story hard to follow. The way this first book of the Caretaker trilogy was written was like nothing I have ever seen before. The chapters are the shortest I have ever seen, usually not exceeding four pages. But that was not the problem. The problem was the sentence structure. There were way too many intentional sentence fragments. I do not know if this is a way to give the narrator a unique voice and put the reader in his head or if this is just a way for the author to justify his unorthodox writing style.

Hurling something. Fragments can be a way to generate rhythm in writing, but it bothered me, being someone who does not like hearing or reading grammatical errors. Taking everything into consideration, I thought it was okay.

It depends on the type of person to decide whether or not they should read Firestorm by David Klass. If they are somebody like myself, who gets bothered by grammatical errors, then I would say the decision is up to them. If one thinks that they can deal with it, then I would say pick it up and give it a try.

You know the ones I mean; the recommendations from fellow authors about why you should pick up a copy of the book in question. What's even more interesting is when the blurb comes from someone other than an author. Yes, the same Greenpeace International that is dedicated to protecting and saving the Earth from the harmful practices that threaten to destroy it.

As of right now, not quite sure I'll live to see nineteen. Always been a pretty good guy, easy-going, laid back, friend to all and enemy to none. Smart, but not too smart. Athletically inclined, but never enough to be the best. Now my whole world is falling apart. Seems my father isn't my father. My mother isn't my mother. The fact that my dad who isn't my dad shot off his own foot to prove his point should be strange enough.

It isn't. There are weird bat-like creatures chasing me, and things called Gorms. I've somehow ended up on a motorcycle with a humongous mongrel dog named Gisco, who happens to be telepathic, riding in a sidecar. Because I have to find Firestorm so that I can save the Earth. And no, I have no idea what that is.

And yes, I'm a fan of sentence fragments. Look it up, my friend, but not right now. Right now I have to save the world, before there's no future on Earth for me to come back from. It's a fantasy that could be truth, if the destruction of Earth by mankind continues on its current course. After reading this wonderful book, I clearly understand why it's endorsed by Greenpeace. One of the best things of the book, besides its underlying message of taking care of the planet, is Gisco, the telepathic dog.

He adds an element of humor, such as his devotion to the O Great Dog God, that lightens up a story that could come across as preachy, but never does. If that doesn't catch your attention, I don't know what will. Let me just say that once you start reading, you won't be able to stop.

And when you're finished, you'll want to read more. Klass night and day he'll give us what we want--and sooner rather than later. Sep 09, Isaac rated it did not like it. I picked up this book because the author of the Percy Jackson series Rick Riordan recommended it. After reading it I then realized he was basically stroking his own ego because he recommended himself. You haven't heard of this series? Let me refresh your memory. Ever read any Percy Jackson book before? Then you read Firestorm.

After reading this Percy Jackson wannabe, i just dozed off. It was very predictable. It's almost like there is some sort of formula when making novels like these.

Step 1. Make a character relatable or in this case, perfect boy where nothing goes wrong 2. Something goes wrong, 3. People start chasing him for reasons no one knows 4. Some animal or creature helps him 5. I just saw these things coming from a mile away. Now I know what you are thinking. Firestorm on the other hand? I saw little to know interesting plot devices.

But if you wanna try to read this, I recommend this book to people who are waiting for the next installment of "The Heroes of Olympus", The House of Hades to come out. But if you can stomach this can't believe I'm saying this plot you probably should know of the books style.

The story, or lack thereof, is told in fragments. Not like fragments of story like The Lost Hero , oh no no no. Not even close. I mean sentence fragments. You know, those things your third grade teacher told you not to write in or else you got an f?

No joking. And gets annoying. Very fast. This stunt of trying to be relatable to teenagers just failed. Dare I say it, the latest Honey Nut Cheerios commercials is more current and relatable. Mar 03, Robert Paulsen rated it it was amazing. This was a good book.

It was a little confusing at first but it got better. Apr 19, Jennifer Clark rated it it was amazing. Did you ever think that beating a high school record would result in a game of fighting for your life? In the Caretaker Trilogy, the first novel, Firestorm , the author David Klass describes this adventure with short and action-filled prose that kept me flipping the pages.

Dodging death at every turn, he has to save the future from the damage being done in the present. Accompanie Did you ever think that beating a high school record would result in a game of fighting for your life?

May 03, Randyn Carter rated it liked it. Star Rating: i gave this book 3 stars out of 5 because it was a little tricky to read, but i liked it. Plot Summary: Jack lives with his parents in a normal town, where he excels in football and other sports as well as academics. For Jack life comes pretty easy, which is why he can never understand why his parents never want him to shine like he knows he can.

They are always encouraging him to let others win and try to blend in more. One night after a particularly great football performance, he not Star Rating: i gave this book 3 stars out of 5 because it was a little tricky to read, but i liked it.

One night after a particularly great football performance, he notices a strange man following him. When he tells his parents his dad immediately takes him as far away as he can while explaining that they are not his real parents. He does not tell him why they have lied to him all these years or who his real parents are before they are ambushed and Jack is forced to flee for his life.

As Jack tries to figure out why he is special and what his task is, he comes across many different types of characters. Some are more helpful than others at helping him find his destiny. He soon learns that he was sent back from the future in order to stop the world from making terrible environmental mistakes that humans will pay for dearly in the future.

Those who come to help him tell him he must find the firestorm in order to preserve the earth from the evils of humans, but he has no idea what firestorm is and no matter how hard he tries there is always someone trying to hurt him. The idea of a young man being chosen for something great without him knowing it has been used many times in young adult books, but the idea of Jack having to save the world from humans destroying it through different types of pollution is a new twist. There is a lot of action and fighting sequences that fans of action movies will enjoy.

Most of the story is well-described, but the ending happens pretty fast so readers will have to read very closely in order to find out how everything is resolved for the time being. The ending is a little unsatisfying, but part of that is probably due to the fact that there are two more in the series. Characters: Jack- adventurous, athletic, dynamic character. Key Issues: Survival, don't second guess yourself, no tuning back. Other Information: I enjoyed this book because jack had to survive against people that were trying to kill him.

Jan 07, Nico rated it liked it. I only picked up this book because I've read and enjoyed so many of David Klass's realistic fiction. Honestly, he seemed a little bit out of his element here, but it turned out okay. There are a few things I didn't like though. Like the whole "sentence fragment" thing where he writes the whole things in sentence fragments and calls it a character trait. That annoyed the heck out of me at first, but after a while I did get used to it and it was easier to read.

He also constantly blurts out all of I only picked up this book because I've read and enjoyed so many of David Klass's realistic fiction. He also constantly blurts out all of these huge SAT words and although some people didn't like that I did. It was casual way of suggesting that we actually learn something from the book, so I did actually end up looking most of the words up. The only thing I did have trouble ignoring was his lack of emotion.

He felt betrayal, sorrow, and rage, but all throughout it he just seemed so nonchalant except for one scene where he was emotional for more than two seconds. Even when a huge thing happened to him not gonna spoil it he was just like "Ah well! I guess my whole world just ended, but I'll keep on going anyway! The ninja babe that they describe in the summary wasn't as terribly stereotypical as I thought she would be, she was actually a better character than Jack, but not my favorite.

The president of the United States badly needs someone to locate and disarm a mad pyromaniac named James Trask, who was head of a scientific project funded by the Defense Department—until the project was scratched. Enraged, Trask disappeared and has begun to target his enemies with remote-controlled firestorms. Brad claims he can help Kerry come to terms with her mother's death if she will help him locate Trask. Fiercely independent Kerry demurs until the home of her beloved brother, Jason, is torched and his pregnant wife's longed-for baby dies.

Trask himself blackmails Kerry into meeting him alone and her nascent relationship with Brad is sorely strained by her stubborn independence. Some of Johansen's plotting is far-fetched, but she ably captures the smell, the smoke and the terror of fire.

This is a quick, easy read that just might increase the sale of fire extinguishers for the home. The deadly flames of her past are back, and from out of the ashes a stranger appears.

Who is Silver? And why has he chosen her in the desparate race to find a killer determined to ignite hell on earth? Kerry and Silver may not have a chance against a psychopath as coldhearted as his method is red-hot. To save themselves and the innocent lives at stake, Kerry will have to do what she hoped she'd never have to do: fight fire with fire.
