Sons of Anubis
by:lindokuhle mthombeni
I love reading. Always make sure that I read something before I sleep everyday. Factual, inspirational and real-life novels are my favourite. I normally take a period of a week or two in order to finish whatever book. For this exercise I decided to read a fictional novel and finish it within a day. I chose a book by Robin Saunders called Sons of Anubis because it was recommended by a friend to me, and because it was a fictional book and I have never read a fictional book before.
Before I read the book I was enthusiastic about it, I always find it challenging to do something I never did before but I love it and I was looking forward to start doing it. At the beginning of my reading I felt bored because I have never read a fictional novel before and I always thought they were manly and boring. I also felt that, the pressure was too much because I was pushing myself so had to finish the book that very same day and to also find the interest in that book.
I expected the novel to be unrealistic in a boring way because I believed that fictional novels are for men. I also expected it to be confusing and long. At the time of my reading I felt the pressure but was slowly finding the interest of the novel as well. Towards the end of my book I didn’t want it to end because I was enjoying it so much.
After I had finished my exercise I felt good about myself. I over achieved my goal, I had planned on finishing it in a day but I finished it in 6 hours. I felt like I can conquer the world, like nothing was impossible.
