If at first you don't succeed then get up and try again...try again
im so upset hat we dont really learn who the indian killer is!
i was really surprised that john took it far enough to actually hurt wilson. i wish i knew more of his reasons for doing it. overall i thought the book was really interesting and cool. i was consitantly changing my mind on who the killer was, and at the end i was convinced it was john until marie was so persistant that it was not him.
one of the biggest showers was how david rogers really died! i was shocked
i liked the book but i want to know who the killer is. its pointless to read such a long book if you never find out the ending. It was interesting but i feel unsatisfied
Ambiguous endings rock, so I didn't mind it.
And Isma, saying "fail" is just...no.
I love the book, but it was slow in the beginning. I think it's very interesting that everyone can be the killer.
I think the end was a little weak. I know that Alexie was trying to make the end a little different and mysterious by not identifying the killer, but I think the end was still a little weak. I wish we could have more closure.

i thought it was ok. John dieing kind of sucked and not knowing who the actual killer is really aggravates me but other than that i didn't mind it to much.
I was confused by the ending of the book when the killer was sitting on the grave. I wasn't sure how much of the last chapter was metaphorical and what was real.
i thought the ending was pretty good because it is different than most other murder mysteries. we are all left to keep wondering who the murderer was all along, and i think it was a good idea for alexie to close the book that way
Even though Alexie never said who the Indian killer was, I don't think it’s a necessity to know. It leaves it up to the reader to figure some things out, instead of handing you the answer on a silver platter as some books do. I really liked this book and it’s ending.
I hated the ending..it makes me hate this book even though the rest was pretty good...
I agree with Sam. I was a little confused during the part when John killed himself. I wasn't sure if that really happened or if he was just imagining it like he imagined killing those kids on the bridge.
I wish we got to find out who the Indian killer was

The whole book was an easy read, and it had a good ending to it.
I hated the end. It was horrible. Why didn't they tell us who the Indian Killer was???? That was so inconclusive, and very unsatisfying.
I think this book is terrible now, it has no ending. What was the point in reading it.
i liked the book a lot... even though we didn't find out who exactly is the Indian killer. But I do believe that it doesn't really matter who it is. It is the fact that the killer will always arise when oppression is at its peak and stuff like that.
I really liked Alexie's writing style. It's very difficult to jump from one character's perspective to another and keep the plot moving, but he created a great flow between the characters. I was surprised that so many people are sure that John was the Indian Killer. I haven't made up my mind yet, but I certainly didn't immediately think that John was the killer. However, I like that the Indian killer was an extreme of, or even a representation of, feelings that all the characters had...(especially anger as a result of injustice).
