Lexicon, 10/23

So, I am glad to say I have been able to confirm that Emily is Woolf! She was sent to Broken Hill until she'd be informed she could return home, and she was. She had just settled in though in a solid relationship and job. But she returns home to find they had given her a job with the name Virginia Woolf. Also I think that Jeremy might not be who Wil is now. I suspect Wil may be Emily's boyfriend Harry. 

Also, since Tom Eliot says Wil is immune and that that's why he survived the Broken Hill end, I think it may be Harry and he only survived that because that is how Emily (Woolf) would be reunited with her love once again. My thoughts are a complete mess this post because of the sequence of chapters. When a chapter is written within Emily's point of view, it's before Broken Hill was destroyed. When the chapter is about Wil, the timing is after Broken Hill was destroyed.

I read upt o just before Wil goes into the emergency room in Broken Hill to find the box and "word." I think that Woolf will be waiting for him to reunite with him. Since Harry worked as a paramedic for the hospital and the emergency room was where they last saw each other, I think that she will bring back Wil's memory, if it really is Harry. 

I am very excited to read more to see if my new suspicions are right! 

PS. I am also pretty surprised I have gotten into this book! I didn't think I'd enjoy it so much throughout the beginning as it isn't a genre I'd pick from first.

I believe I have come to a conclusion of this book. So, Emily was recruited into the acadamy, and Wil survived a deathly explosion at Broken Hill. Tom Eliot explained that there was Woolf, who wanted to kill Wil. I think Emily is Woolf, Eliot who expelled Emily for engaging a relationship with another student is Tom Eliot with Wil. Wil is Jeremy, who is who developed a relationship with Emily.

Tom is an ex-poet which would explain how he'd know Woolf, (or who I suspect is Emily) He remmebers a wood piece that is in Broken Hill that could guarantee his and Wil's survival against a war with Woolf, so he is going to get there, have Wil find it, and return to America. Since Wil survived Broken Hill, it's suspected Wil has an immunity to be persuaded, which is what the Acadamy teaches. So, I think since the academy found about the relationship, Emily was sent to Broken Hill until she was "ready to learn again," and Jeremy was sent home, where Tom found him years later.

These few chapters were sort of really confusing to me. It went from everyone all fine and dandy, a relationship and Tom levaing Wil behind, to Emily's expulsion and no further chapters about her with Tom joining Wil again. Also, Woolf finds where Wil just was, and is working to track them to kill them. Tom had explained a little bit in depth of what Wil was capable of, which was a word he had in his mind that could end everything in peace. I'm looking forward to reading further into this book, curious to see if my suspections are true.

Lexicon, 10/9

I've concluded that Emily and Wil were taken because they had knowledge to some word. The word  must be pretty dangerous, which I wouldn't understand how but then again, it is scy-fy.

On page 73, it states, "... twenty minutes we're in the air and pulling this guy's head open," speaking about Wil. "Nothing personal. But we need whats in their more than you do," the man continued. Then Tom, the kidnapper realized something was wrong. They killed people, wrecked, then hijacked the plane. Wil finds a box full of surgical tools that would be needed to cut open a head and brain, which he realizes. But Wil also knows Tom is looking for the better intention no matter what. They refer to these "poets" who are bad peoplewho are good with words, using the names of dead poets.

Emily, is in an academy. The school is basically a competition which I realize, and the other charachters in this school find too. It's basically a game, and whoever passes everything will win. I think this school is where the so called poets come from and are, and Tom is an ex-poet. Tom Elliot, or T. S. Elliot. They speak about Charlotte Bronte, who is basically the head of the academy Emily is attending. I think the school is teaching students how to use their words and mind against the greater good, otherwise the team Tom and Wil are with.

I'm not quite sure if I would say I like this book or not, yet. It is very good and interesting, and I'm happy to continue reading to find out what the word is the sides so desperately need but this book is also really weird. I've been confused of some of the charachter's actions and surprised. There's any unexpected actions in this book. If any of you are interested in this whole 'another world' sort of fantasy themed books with twists, this could be for you.

I started reading Lexicon today. I chose this book for the genre I don't usually read because although it is fiction, it is also considered sci-fy. I don't read a lot of scientific fiction books, I usually stick to normal best sellers. I was interested into this book because when I read the description in Barnes and Noble, it was very intruging. 

So far, a secret service of some sort has kidnapped a lady named Emily and Wil. They haven't told them why, but they have talked about Wil as "the guy." I think that the secret service men are looking for something that only a few select humans have experienced, or the knowledge of. The chapters rotate between Wil's life and Emily's. 

This book sort of seems like Emily or Wil have a secret power. A power that they do not know they actually have, but the men do. It's off on a wild start so far. With two characters being kidnapped while not knowing why. Wil's life was threatened to be killed until he used the words "bare words," which must have meant something. Wil didn't even realize he said something to his advantage. These characters are on thin ice with the service they're being recruited into. They don't know when they'll cross the line and be killed or when they will will get spared a bullet and live. I'm looking forward to reading more of this book!
