City of the Beasts

The City of the Beasts was written by Isabel Allende in 2002. It is about a fifteen year-old boy named Alexander Cold. He is a smart student that likes to play the flute and go mountain climbing with his dad. His mom is very sick, and he is sent away to live with his aunt Kate, an old-school journalist for International Geographic, who has traveled everywhere and seen everything.
Soon, Alexander learns his grandmother is going on a trip to the Amazon, to search for the Beast, a yeti-like animal that is said to smell so bad that people who smell it faint and are sometimes killed. When they arrive in the Amazon Alexander meets a native girl named Nadia, the daughter of the man guiding their expedition. During the expedition they learn of a plot to kill off the natives to open a mining area. As the story unfolds, more secrets are revealed, including a way that Alexander might be able to save his mother, as they continue their journey to find the Beasts.
I liked this book because it was so different from what I would normally read, and was so unfamiliar. The story was very interesting and intense. I would recommend it to anyone who likes adventure stories taking place in the jungle.

City of The Beasts

City of the Beasts by Isabel Allende in my opinion was a pretty good book. Even though there are some slow parts, most of the book is full of action and adventure. I like this book because you can't predict what will happen and it makes you want to keep reading. I would recomend this book to people who like adventure and fantasy and people over the age of 12. It can be hard to understand at some points so you would want to be a farly good reader. All in all I would say that this was a good book for some people, but truthfully not me.
