I am still reading "Leviathan" by Scott Westerfeld. But something unusual happened, very unusual. I got up to page 152 and I was in the middle of a sentence with Deryn (the girl character who is pretending to be a boy) when the book skipped to page 217 with Alek (the "prince"). I looked all over the book for the missing pages. It turns out after page 248 it goes back to page 185. But I don't know where the other pages are between 152 and 185.
Ok, this is weird I just was flipping through the book and I saw that the rest of the book was normal, 185 through 434. So that means that 217 through 248 is doubled and I don't have 152 through 185 and I have two chapter twenty-three's.
Now I'm sad, I either have to not finish this amazing book or buy a new one to read 33 pages.........or......... I can bring it back to the Community Bookstore where I bought it!
So between last week and this week a lot has happened in the book. Deryn is now in the air force and has found the Leviathan. the Leviathan is a huge airship and the outside is made of whale skin and skins from other animals. The people in this book call these ships "beasties." And now Deryn must help a scientist onto the ship and to some other place with a bunch of loud animals.
Alek had his first run in the "Walker" and almost fell. He went into a little town in farmers clothes to get some parts for the "walker," and almost tell somebody he was the old prince Aleksandar. He's had quite a few enemies since he was born, so that could have been really bad. Alek had also managed to get himself into a fight with some horsemen. This book is getting interesting, I would really hate to have to miss those 33 pages. Wish me luck!
Wow, the description really told me what was going on! Also, how long have you been reading the book?
ReplyDeleteThose pages are missing in my daughter's copy too. I went on line to see if anyone else had come across the same issue. Strangely enough, your post is the only place I found that makes mention of it. I wonder how many copies of the book were printed this way. All of them? Just one pressing? From the lack of info on the web addressing the missing pages, I can only imagine that there are only a few of them. Who knows...maybe they're worth something:-)
