Theme Oriented RR on The End Of Infinity


        In the book The End Of Infinity by Matt Myklusch the theme is how valuable trust is and how it can crush friendships. The rustov, or the enemies, virus infects Jack, the protagonist, and he has admitted that in the future he is supposed to be a super rustov warrior but he believes that he can not only prevent this future but be that only person who can stop the war. Because of his virus, though, no one except a couple of friends still have trust and faith in him, the rest just want him dead.
            Throughout the book Jack does not only search for the solution to his grave problem he also is on a search for the trust of his friends and the trust of the people of Imagine Nation. Jack understands why everyone hates him and is afraid of him because deep down he is afraid of himself and he doesn’t really know if he will be able to defeat his future and save the world. The thing that I found funny or I should say ironic is that he is trying to save the world from himself. Every once in a while the author throws in some small jokes or funny scenes and I feel that it is a nice addition to the usually intense and almost stressful writing.
            All in all, I like how the author incorporated the theme of trust in such an action and adventure filled book. Myklusch throughout the book includes even the smallest details to hint at the theme of trust and I found that very interesting and cool.
