When I first started reading the book I was very interested in it but as I got further in reading the book personally I feel like it gets more depressing.

It is a good way to learn what not to do‚ which will help some people. But‚ this book for me it is very boring because I would like to read something that is more entertaining

really enjoy the book. The beginning of the novel was just character introductions and invitations to a suspenseful place called Indian Island. As the story began to progress‚ I found the book strangely intriguing. It was about the perfect murder.

When they were inside the plane should have the Stephen and Dad done what they have done or should they have done something else? (pg. 28-29) Personally I believe that they should have done something else. In the story they let free the slaves. Not only that‚ they also took the car keys from the slavers and gave it to them and used 3 rifle shots to make the slavers not shot them.
