The award for my book will be the "Lifelike Illustration Award". This award is for books that can capture the essence of reality and be able blend it into fiction so naturally that you start to believe in the unnatural. The author in this book creates impossible characters that could do impossible feats, but his explanation of said feats are so well grounded and filled with belief that you some time wonder if the writer actually believes in his fairy tales . For example: the author of the book described how one can obtain superhuman reaction time by jumping off a cliff, to create a near death experience in order to unlock your minds and kick your instincts into maximum overdrive. Another example of the author's unreal explanation is: if you ignore the warnings and agony of your body and push to the point of no return, you can control the natural painkillers of your body; thus, becoming immune to the human limits.

Finish

1. The book made me cry because the main character lost his mother after experiencing her love for the first time. It was an amazingly beautiful and tragic moment.
2. This Book connected with my life through its main character: a young boy whom of which was disconnected from his parents from birth, much like me.
3. The most believable part of the book was the connection between mother and child that is shown through text and illustration. As when the main character is at death's door, his mother wasn't afraid to throw her life away to save her son.

Fast forward 300 years into the future, most of everyone from the original series is dead; yet, I don't see the narrative changing at al...
