The Indian Killer
The Indian Killer was a good book to read. It was a easy book to get into. The only thing that i did not like about the book was that it jumpes from one thing to another. I didnt feel like the book flowed into the next chapters. I believe that the book wasnt just about a indian killing white people. It was because of all of the things that white men had done to indians that was the killer. Yes the book talked about an indian killing people but there was also white people killing others and no one really cared about that fact. People need to look at the whole picture and not judge someone just because of the color of their skin or because of what makes them who they are. The book was left wide open for another one. I would read it if there was a part two.

I actually enjoyed the way the book jumped from one point of view to another. This left cliffhangers in some people's stories at the end of the chapters which made me want to read more to find out what happened. Also, the way the book jumped helped me keep in mind how each character was probably (or definitely, depending on the chapter) feeling when they encountered one another. It kind of reminds me of the soap operas my mom watches, every time you anticipate the character to react in the scene, it jumps to someone else. If Alexie writes (or wrote) a part two, I might read it if I'm guaranteed to find out exactly who the Indian Killer is.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that the book was hard to read at times. I also think that the book focased on the indian killings more that the killings by the white people but I think that was a big part of the book that would also be how it would happen in real life.
