Chapters 31-38

This is the last few chapters of the novel. Well, the ending was quite too ordinary for me. Some of my predictions are right; that includes someone doing a heroic thing and saving the main character, and of course, the "happily ever after". Well, at least there are some scenes that are quite interesting. For example, Officer Tawney was there and did a heroic thing even if he got shot by the killer/kidnapper named Craig. Well in my opinion, the conclusion of the book went very well. The reason is because Andrew still cares for the person who tried to kill him and even prayed for him when he was tied to a tree, and it's freezing cold. Craig too cared for Andrew, since it was not Andrew's fault that this whole thing happened; actually it was an accident. Accident that both Craig and Andrew are in the same place at the same time, and accident that Craig killed Bill Hardy and Jack Savage. Well, overall, this book has been a pleasure to read. Also, I learned many things about life. For example, I learned that small choices can lead up to big decisions, and sometimes you have to think for someone else first.

Chapters 21-30

this segment is actually quite thrilling. The part that i liked the most is how Craig treated Andrew in the woods. I realized that he is still a good person, and he didn't mean to kill the cops. He thought that they were rednecks so he accidentally shoot them. At one point, he tried to kill Andrew but he couldn't do it because he still cares for him. Drying Andrew's clothes, feeding him, and leaving him enough firewood on the fire to keep him warm pretty longer are some of the good things he did for Andrew. I also liked the part when Andrew prayed for Craig, the person who tried to kill him. It was an awesome thing he did, and I'm impressed that the author thought about it. The only thing that I didn't like is when Andrew peed himself, ruining the entire moment of thrill and suspense. It sure made me laugh, but I'm a bit disappointed about it.

Chapters 11-20

The story occurred between chapters 11-20 is not so impressive. The reason is because there are some things that happened too quickly. Another is how the the police thought about who killed the two cops and they suspected that it was Andrew. For me it's quite awful to hear that they decided to judge the incident too quickly without analyzing the important things connected to it. I know that there is an evidence showing that Andrew have been there, but it doesn't really prove that he killed the two cops. What i really don't understand is that they could have been more careful deciding things. They judged him too quickly, but they know that there's an unknown set of fingerprints found in the house. "Those fingerprints could be the killer's."- they even didn't think of that. Another thing is that the scenes are quite a little bit too common that i can predict what will happen next easily. The Investigation, the wrong accusation, some actions, some fighting, some dramatic scenes, maybe some heroic action and the main character would live happily ever after. Those are the things that might happen next, well, in my view.

Catch a killerchapters 1-10

The first 10 chapters of this book is about Andrew running away from his home and Craig Corso's childhood. Since Craig was a child, he was usually get picked on because the bullies knew he won't fight back. Andrew's story is quite different. He and his mom got into a serious argument and lead him to ran away from home. Even though their story is quite different, both are still interesting. Andrew is a very intelligent kid. Too smart for a twelve year old to be exact. Well, I'm not talking about his academic skills, but his way of acting. He is testing his mom's love by running away from home and making his mom worry for him. That action is both mature and childish for me. Although he's too smart for his age, he doesn't use it in a proper way.

My thoughts about this book is that it's quite breathtaking. It really caught my attention at the first part of the book. I liked how the author described the scene when Craig is being bullied, the part when his shoes were urinated by the bullies. I also liked the part when the incident of the 2 policemen was described by the author. I am quite sure that the end of this book will be intense, since the first part is action packed.
