I just started reading this book called I Killed A Bunch Of folks by T.L.Miller. It is about this kid that is a little, well a lot of in the head and kills a whole bunch of people. I am not that far into it but it has been really disturbing. I not really into this kind of books normally but it after the first page I just had to keep going. the story is told in first person by the boy. He is in jail and the cops are trying to get him to talk but he is refusing to talk except into a tape recorder. Here is the part that puled me in.
"The first sentence(he is talking about a book) was "success comes to those who are wiling to do what others aren't willing to do.".....I seen a newspaper or two where they talked about what I done, and the word "success" ain't yet come up. But you got to admit, I'm a pretty successful killer."(T.L. Miller 1)
I have to say though the author had a very twisted mind to go come up with some of the stuff I have read. I am about half way through and the boy has already killed five people including his mother. I am wandering how it is going to end.

I would have to guess that the author did a lot of research on sociopathic personality disorder, which is what this young lad seems to have.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly does sound disturbing, but like all mystery's - they're supposed to be page turners and the author is hoping you won't put the book down.
I probably won't read this, but if you are able to finish is before the end of this class, maybe you can post how the young murderer fares in then end.
thanks!
Wow, that sounds like an intense book. What makes it more scary is that the killer is a child. Does the book suggest he was born this way, or did his upbringing influence his choices? Nancy
