I wanted to laugh…

I wanted to laugh out so loud when I started reading that part of where the thief was cutting the woman’s dress and he made so, you could see her butt. I thought it was pretty fun and an odd way to steal a woman’s purse! But my god, do people die a quick and painful(sorta) death in this book. Like when the thief gets hit but the meat truck and it describes how his form after the hit and run and how people are just staring at the dead body and doing nothing. The first death in the book was pretty gruesome too! When one of the guards gets … Continue reading Continue reading

Cotton~~

At first, I thought maybe the pastor was a fake and tricking everyone into giving him a $1,000, just so they can go back to Africa. It seemed like a huge scam to me but then those guys in the meat truck come in with huge guns and takes the money. So mu… Continue reading

You can just see the insanity pouring out from him

One of the things that I think shows Bruno’s insanity is how he acts and the things he says. For example: “Ready to turn yourself over?” Bruno jeered shrilly.”Ready to tell Anne all about it, huh? Ready to spend the next twenty years in jail? Sure, I’m ready!” He brought his palms together gently. His eyes seemed to glow a red light. His swaying figure was like that of an evil spirit’s that might have stepped from the twisted black tree behind him. I can just imagine the look of insanity on Bruno as he’s saying this to Guy. Bruno reminds me of Joker just because of the things he … Continue reading Continue reading

Oh my…

Just now, I read the back of the book and was totally taken by surprised the story plot…I thought was just going to be different from what I read but I guess its more interesting if there’s a sadistic psychopath who hates his dad. Anyway, I felt some sympathy for Guy, who’s getting a divorce from his wife, who is pregnant with another man’s child, which isn’t right because she once aborted Guy’s and that’s such a horrible thing to do. As I read along I saw some things that I thought would be awesome quotes from the story: “I tell him his business, all business, is legalized throat-cutting, like … Continue reading Continue reading

Kinda cliche….

Over the Fall Break, I started to read Indemnity Only and when I read the back of the book, I found it the description somewhat cliche but as soon as I read it, I thought the book was pretty good. I didn’t know at first that the detective was a woman until her client mentioned she was. I couldn’t really tell from the beginning because she kind of acts like a guy and I assumed she was one because her name didn’t help me whether or not it was male or female, just her last name. she’s a tough character like all detectives should be but better especially when she … Continue reading Continue reading

Little Ray Pt2

I think that Ray, the youngest daughter of Mildred and Bert, was the one who made the story more real. It was her personality that seemed to make feel real, because the way she acted, was the way that most kids did and it really added more emotion to it. I’m able to imagine her doing things like running around in circles or playing Elephant and Monk with her dad because of her character. Also, her death made it more real too, and I felt it made Mildred Pierce a more emotional book, especially hoe Mildred reacts to her daughter’s death. Ray just seemed to make the story come to … Continue reading Continue reading

Maggie Biederhof Pt1

At the beginning, I assumed the story was going to be about Bert but then it all turned its attention to Mildred, Bert’s wife. Mildred is a strong female character that tries her best to raise her two daughters on her own, while her ex-husband is off, banging(I’m assuming that’s why he’s with her) some ugly chick. She somewhat reminds me of my mom, who also tries her best to provide for me and my brothers with her low paying job. At first, Mildred like the type who only wanted office job or store job and seemed to be a fool when she turned down two job offers that was … Continue reading Continue reading

More than once…

I had to reread every sentence I read just to get the jest of what the author was saying and I felt like I had to look up every term or reference that he used but I didn’t because there was so much to look up. But after reading it a while, I came to understand what the author was talking about.(well somewhat) In the first couple of pages, I was interested by the fact that I couldn’t think if Noir was a genre, a style, etc. but I guess you could say its all these things but it does make you think about it. What makes a Noir a … Continue reading Continue reading
