Book Review12


I read the book which name is "DANTE'S PEAK ".Without warning, day becomes night; air turns to fire, and solid ground melts beneath white-hot lava. Welcome to the town of Dante's Peak, where a long-dormant volcano is about to erupt with devastating force. Who will survive when the inferno unleashes its fury?
Pierce plays a USGS who arrives at a country side named Dante's Peak after his boss instructs him to investigate the possibility of a dormant volcano that the Dante's Peak getting active again in that region. Spurred by the volcano related death of a previous lover, Dalton urges Mayor Rachel Wando to put the city on alert. Dalton's boss, Paul Dreyfus arrives and countermands Dalton demanding scientific proof.
As story progresses, we see that Dalton getting increasingly convinced that the volcano might blow up but his boss is reluctant to declare an emergency in the city yet ,because of possibility that if the volcano finally does never erupt, the real estate prices will plummet anyway and the city might loose a huge financial investment deal. Unfortunately, the common residents of the area know nothing about it until very late. Finally, when Dante's peak does erupt, the city panics, some does not survive the catastrophe, including Dalton's boss and for Dalton and the mayor of the city and her children, it becomes a race against the pyroclastic cloud to save their own lives.
This story stand for People's safety is being set against economical interests. We have to think that human power is powerless than nature’s big power.
