Reading Blog Post 6 - Literally So Boring

First of all I would like to say that I enjoy the perspective of the book. It brings the reader in closer to the character telling the stroy, Tandy. She says things like "So what do you think so far, reader?" and "Okay, so how am I doing so far?" I feel that this stance lets the reader know that the character is interested in what we think, as readers, and automatically makes me place her as an organized, involved, determined person. She is determined to make the readers feel welcomed, she is organized, I believe, because she is checking in on us before she moves on so she can tell us step by step what happened. She is also involved because she is trying to tell a story, she is being her own detective on her own parents murder case and wants to share it.

Character Prompt: Second of all I would like to say that in this book, Confessions of a Murder Suspect by James Patteson, we've met four new characters. We have met Mrs. Hauser, a widow who is loving to Tandy; Morris Sampson who wrote a horrid book about Tandy's mother and was sued and hated by the Angel family up to this day ( Mr. Sampson is so rude, even when Tandy's parents have just died he still is rude and makes fun of her loss) We also have Nate Crosby, a director who pretends to be friendly but is in fact putting on an act; and lastly we have Dr. Florence Keyes who is the family psychologist. Mrs. Hauser gives a not so helpful clue to Tandy while she is investigating, but is glad to help. Mr. Sampson is a horrible creature and probably did not kill the Angel's parents only because he cold care less about them. Nate Crosby seems like he is trying to help, offering them whatever they need and tries to recall some odd things happening the night of the murder, but cannot. And then we have Dr. Keyes, who is just trying to get the family back in order, just like their parents would have wanted, but maybe goes a little too far, considering their parents have just been killed and Tandy rushes her out of their home rudely only minutes after coming in.
