What is confusing in this book? Why? (Be specific)

The book in all is a very confusing book but I think that the most confusing thing in the book is the plot. The author makes quite clear the attributes of the characters and the scene. Cole is a man running for his life; Nora is a charity owner who has turned to illegal options to get freeze dried orphans to safety. The scene isn’t very confusing either, it’s just like what the future might be like; advertising everywhere, many different planets, police bots in which it is shown that the programmers must have had a cruel sense of humor. But the plot is totally random and unpredictable. In some ways this is good, because it keeps you on your toes, but sometimes it’s hard to follow. One second they may be celebrating the death of the bad men, and then talking from the perspective of a tumble weed.

Which character would you like to be like? In what way? Why?

I think that a character that I would want to be like would be Joshua. He is not a main character although he is Cole’s sidekick. Joshua is very brave and smart and kind. Joshua is an orphan that Cole meets on InvestCo3 and then a day later he is freeze-dried on the ship. When there is a malfunction and the orphans are brought to life before they reach Yrnameer. Cole is somewhat discussed when he sees Joshua who reveals information about Cole when he was on InvestCo3, knocked unconscious, to Nora who already has suspicions about him. Joshua is very smart in intelligent. When Cole fails to find a panel in the ship or does not have the guts to face the Bad Guys, Joshua is there. Although Joshua is smarter, braver, and overall better then Cole; he follows him around and looks up to him as a hero. The thing I like about Joshua is that he oblivious but what he does is follow his heart and whatever is in his heart is the right thing to do. Although in the end Cole is the hero, Joshua has backed him up all the way.
