A few days ago I finished reading Thirteen Days to Midnight. It was a very good book, I couldn’t put it down! I loved every character and it truly made me think in some parts. In the book, Jacob Fielder has an amazing power, he is indestructible. All he has to do is say “I am indestructible” and nothing can hurt him.
In the book, he imagines his indestructibility as a black lion, and himself as a cave for that lion. He continues to pass that power around to save peoples’ lives and each time he does so, the lion claws him more and more telling him not to send it out. Thirteen days later, he finds out the true reason.
Anyway, in this book, Harry Houdini is the first known person (you find out later) that has the power. It gives a real reason to why he is such a good escape artist. This really shows that there is more than one side to every story. What you see on the outside, Houdini being a great escape artist, covers up the fact that he is actually invincible and doesn’t fear death.
This book honestly scared me at the end, I was reading it around midnight, and just the though of being in Jacob’s shoes made me fear death, and what invincibility does, or any superpower as Jacob puts it. I really understood where he was coming from, and it is that other view, that topic that no other person has written about, that made it a great book.
