The Dragon Delasangre

Yes, this is what I’m talking about today. This is a book called The Dragon Delasangre by Alan F. Troop.

Now, I just want to say, this book is the most amazing fiction fantasy book I could possibly find. I could argue Pendragon, but once I read this, now I am seeing even more greater fantasy.

Rating – 10/10
I don’t think I’ve given a 10 to anything yet. Well here it is. The Dragon DelaSangre is about an adult dragon (If I recall correctly 57 years old which isn’t too old in dragon years) who is able to change between a human and dragon form. I think this is what made the book the best fantasy book I’ve ever read. This concept right here. I’ve read Eragon before and I thought that was a pretty cool book, but now we have a dragon that can also be a human. The main character in the book, Peter DelaSangre lives with his father and learns about the dragon and human life. Although he is a dragon, his mother encouraged his father to send their son to human school, so he acquires much of his life through a human. (Note, ignore the first chapter of the book if it is boring to you. This describes the scene and his life with his father.) After the first chapter, you start heading into some action. As you will later learn, the dragons go on nightly hunts usually (because they cannot be seen because they are so sparse and will be slayed) to eat people. Yes, human meat. So Peter would bring home some people for his father and himself. It’s not until he meets a waitress at a restaurant who gives him a number, a murder that arouses suspicion, and a closely related death that turns Peter’s life haywire. This is when the story gets juicy and interesting. Peter must meet a female of his kind and now he’s on the ultimate search of his life.

Probably from that passage right there, you could already get some of the feel for the action to the book. I absolutely loved the book. In fact, I finished the book in three days, a record for me! I’ve never read any chapter book > 200 pages in 3 days, that’s just insane. (It’s actually 295 pages now that I think about it.) So as you can tell I LOVED this book! It’s just amazing! You should read it if you love fantasy and need something that will include action, romance, and dragons. No Spoilers, but I swear, during the last 75 pages of the climax, my heart rate started rising because of all the action. I’ve never felt so into a book before, like watching an action scene on TV except even more amazing.

Also the concepts included in that book including dragons becoming humans, eating humans, mindspeak (The private talking with dragon’s minds as you will later found out. The book has those written in italics.), all the romance that happens, and even the dragons interacting with real life. All these concepts kept me reading from page 1 to 295 just like that and guess what? I’m not done! I picked up the sequel, Dragon Moon and I’m going to start reading it soon. Can’t wait. If you really need a new book to read, check out this amazing book.

So in most of my posts, you know that I include more than one topic, and usually the main topic is longer than the rest. So if you clicked the More… button, you will now see the rest of the topics. It’s to keep my main page clear from clutter, and if you’re interested in reading more, the hidden-ness adds to the suspense, heh. Click it and read what else there is!!!

Alright, so Fighter’s Field 3D. Hmm, I think it will be released tomorrow, but I can’t speak the truth without verifying, so I don’t know yet. So far it’s coming along pretty decently. I have a checklist got about maybe, 4/438921 things done (xD) but I’ll try my best to finish them by tonight or tomorrow morning.

Hey, I updated my pic on the About Me page. I think it looks better than the one before. Wearing glasses now and sitting from my computer. Pretty cool ^^

My friend Michael is also working on a rip off game of Pokemon called “Pokermon” and he’s working on some cool physics stuff and exponential functions and stuff. So that’s pretty neat.

I realize that what I learn in school is actually very valuable in Game Maker! Mostly the math part. If you can get in Algebra 2/Trig, and Calculus, you have the power to do anything in Game Maker just because you know math! So use Game Maker? Then make sure you do well in your math if you want to succeed in doing mathematical calculations in it! (English and Science also help.)

Microsoft Access 2007. Ever used Microsoft Access before? I’m sure alot of company workers say they have at some point. Guess what? I’m finding it pretty darn useful. Our Computer Applications class require us to learn Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Access. And you see, I knew the first 3, until we came to Access, then I was like, huh? So, Access allows you to store databases of records you need, and then turn it into useful data you can use. You can only get what you put in to produce what you want to come out. And it’s not just typing in stuff, it’s learning what data is needed. Anybody can type out records, it’s a matter of deciding what’s needed in the database. Anyways, pretty cool application. I’m liking it and I think it might help me in the near future, who knows?

Also, I’ve beaten Pokemon Emerald. I don’t like the end though. I wish it were like Pokemon Silver and Gold where after you beat it, you can go to the Kanto region which I thought was the coolest thing ever. Got to see the classics. But whatever, I guess all you get to do now is collect all 3xx pokemon now (I don’t know how many there are now, I lost track after the 251 from Pokemon Silver + Gold)

That’s about it for now, stay tuned!
