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
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 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 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).
If at first you don't succeed then get up and try again...try again

ReplyDeleteAmbiguous endings rock, so I didn't mind it.
ReplyDeleteAnd 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.

ReplyDeleteI hated the ending..it makes me hate this book even though the rest was pretty good...

ReplyDeleteI wish we got to find out who the Indian killer was

ReplyDeleteThe whole book was an easy read, and it had a good ending to it.
ReplyDeleteI hated the end. It was horrible. Why didn't they tell us who the Indian Killer was???? That was so inconclusive, and very unsatisfying.
ReplyDeleteI think this book is terrible now, it has no ending. What was the point in reading it.
