SOLC 4/Book Post: Steelheart

Hello everybody! Here is a brief little blurb about me.
I am a male 8th grader in Linda's class at the Logan School. I live in Denver Colorado and love to go skiing. I like to wear hoodies, t-shirts and jeans. I like to listen to ambient music and 80's/90's pop like Oasis. I live on planet Earth, a mostly harmless planet. This is my blog!

This week, for a quick and very easy read, I read Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson. In Steelheart, after an event called the Calamity, ordinary humans started gaining amazing powers. They were called Epics, and they soon force the population to serve them. No one fights their rule, except a mysterious group of people called the Reckoners. David wants to become a Reckoner, and kill the most powerful Epic, a man named Steelheart.

I liked the plot of this book, but it was a very easy, low reading level read. Also, some of the parts of the story are just plain stupid. Take for instance, the Epics. WHY NAME YOUR BAD GUYS EPICS? It makes them sound like people who just skateboard/snowboard (nothing against skateboarders or snowboarders here) all day long filming everything on GoPro and saying "Epic man!". Also, why name your good guys "Reckoners"? PLEASE GET SOMETHING CREATIVE! Sigh. At least I get to read something else next week. This book tried very hard to earn it's low score of 3.2/10.

P.S. Its an okay plot, but not exactly the most creative minor details. It has lots of cliches.
