Writer's notebook: favorite web-based tech tool

My favorite web-based tech tool that I use on my schools computers, is the google search engine. Google allows me to find information on practically any topic. Any assignment given at school, by a teacher, involving reasearch can be made easier with google. Google is also useful for learning miscelaneous, and trivial information on random topics.

Book Review: Black by Ted Dekker(432 pgs)

Tom Hunter is a guy in his twenties who lives in Denver, in an apartment with his sister. He works at a coffeeshop, and has several manuscripts of books he'd like published at home. He also was raised in the Philipines, learned how to defend himself against gangs there, and has borrowed a bunch of money that he has to pay back, which is why he's in Denver. He's running from the lenders. He's found by his lenders, and shot. He wakes up in a black forest, where he is told he's a survivor from a spaceship . Evil bats, specifically the leader named Teeleh, chase him and tear much of his flesh from him before he escapes across a river into a beautiful colorful forest, and he thinks Denver is a dream. Tom wakes up in a garbage can in Denver, but now, every time he falls asleep, he wakes up in the forest. And every time he falls asleep there, he wakes up on Earth. The green forest is inhabited by , perfect humans, and a girl named Rachelle who he falls in love with. But one man crosses the river, where he eats fruit from Teeleh in the black forest, and the whole world turns to evil. Tom has found out from Teeleh that on Earth, a virus will be unleashed called "the Raison strain," and Earth's inhabitants will be virtually wiped out. He tries to warn those on Earth, but by so doing, unknowingly gives the information needed to create this virus into the wrong hands. In the other world, he is becoming a great leader against those humans who have turned evil, and on Earth, he is becoming one who can come back to life, and the only one who can save Earth from destruction. His story is continued in "Red" and "White," which are the other two books in this series.
