My personal bias affects the way I read the book by making me feel encouraged and excited throughout the way. This is because I crave these thought provoking and thriller type of stories. On top of that, I am really intrigued by the study of the sciences beforehand so when I saw that some science fiction was involved in the story, I immediately was drawn toward it. Also the study of alchemy was something that caught my attention when observing this book. Finally, I have read several other novels by Kenneth Oppel that I knew already what I was in for.
