Summary: The Nastiest book I have ever Readed!
Review: This book was a book about a little boy named Jason and how he has been convicted of killing a 7 year old girl. At the beginning of this book, it had a discusting part were "someone" had gone into a persons house and had been trying to find a gun collection. Finding the collection of only 3 guns the "person" felt the power of holding the weapon. Realizing that it was loaded This "person" had decided that they would take the gun.
After hearing something from up stairs. They had figured that they shpould go see what it was. After noticing that another family was their this "person" decides to kill the each person in the family. First the Father then the mother and feeling sorry for the son, because he had killed his parents and the boy would feel sad to find both of his parents dead. So the "person" decides to kill the boy, The "person" thought of it as doing the boy a favor for killing him.
After all of that excitement the book slows down and the boy has gone through some trouble. The boy has been convicted also for killing a 7 year old girl. Jason the boy could barely live through all of the imbarrisement and having been talked to about every thing. Jason became scared and he thought that his life was not worth living. He was prosecuted very many times. Having no idea how he would handle his life. All the kids at his school would talk about it and he had thought he was singled out from the rest. The book starts to get boring because he is still going through questioning and still scared of what might happen to him. Later at the end by being confused and frightened dearly by a detective the book ends with no shocking conclusion. Not knowing what the boy did after this frightening segment............. After he had felt wonderful and feeling a cool breeze through his hair "He went to the kitchen and took the butcher knife out of the drawer" OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SCARY! Not knowing if hes dead or not what do you think?

Summary: READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!
Review: This is one of those teen-age books that is probably much more disturbing for an adult to read than a child. It clearly portrays the ways in which children can be intimidated by adults, something that Jason (the main character) seems to take for granted. He is taken in for questioning as the prime suspect for the murder of a seven year old girl, and most of the book consists of a dialogue between himself and the detective, Trent. Trent's ambition is to always get a confession, and Cormier does an excellent job in describing the detective's feelings and personality. The narration jumps between both Trent and Jason, and I was throughly exhaused and chilled by the time it was over. I found the ending plausible and very disturbing. This was a book that serves as a good reminder of how emotionally dependant children can be and how careful adults should be when speaking to them.
