The Real Post #6, The Extraordinary Adventures of Alfred Kropp

The Extraordinary Adventures of Alfred Kropp is about a boy named Alfred Kropp who lives with his uncle Farell becuse he is an orphan. His uncle is not exactly poor, but he is struggling to get by comfortably. So, when a man comes to them with a shady get rich quick scheme, Farell cannot resist. However, Alfred is suspicious, and wary of doing the deeds requested, and rightly so. Soon, Farell is dead, and Alfred is roped into a world of knights with really nice cars, magic swords, and evil.
Again, I got farther than that but again I will spare the spoilers.
I really like this book so far because I can't put it down. There are a lot of cliffhangers and those keep the pages turning. However, it isn't like The Da Vinci Code, where cliffhangers are way over used. Also, there is a good amount of action (I can't get enough actioin) like swordfights and stabbings. Plus, Alfred is a good character, appropriate thoughts and opinions about these events and an appropriate level of confusion.
Over all, this book has so far earned an 8.8

    That sounds like a good book, Tommy. I like action-packed books, too. However, I liked The Da Vinci Code because it was very misterious and sort of dark. By the wat, you spelled action actoin up there.
