If you could change one thing in the book, what would it be? Why would you change it?
If I could change something in the book, first off I would make Susie live! It's sad that she died. But if I couldn't make that happen, I would have Len, the police officer, listen to Mr. Salmon because he really suspects Mr. Harvey. I hope they figure out that he was the one that murdered Susie.
What advice would you give to a particular character? Why?
I would tell Mr. Salmon to keep an eye on Mr. Harvey and not give up! Even though the police think he is crazy and paranoid, Mr. Salmon is obviously correct with his accusation. He deserves justice because Susie never did anything wrong to him. What I was surprised to read was that Mr. Harvey killed animals to curb his desire to kill children. I suppose that is better, but not by much.

How did what you read today make you feel? Why?
Although I am liking the book a lot so far, the very beginning where Susie gets raped and murdered didn't appeal to me. I didn't like imagining this happening, but without it the book would not make sense. It made me sort of sad to read.
What character do you like most in this book and/or what character do you like least?
I really like Susie Salmon's character. One of the main reasons is because while she was living, she obviously was comfortable with herself and didn't care much about fitting in. For example. she wears yellow bell-bottoms and her favorite pin says "Hippy Dippy Says Love". I don't know anyone that would wear either of those! One thing I wish she didn't do, though, was follow Mr. Harvey into the underground room. I would never have done that; it seemed way too sketchy for me. Other than that though, she is a pretty strong female character.
A character I really don't like, though, is obviously Mr. Harvey. He has a lot of guts to murder an innocent 14-year old, then talk to her family as if he has no idea what happened. I think his character is sickening. I am disappointed in his actions, because the book says that Susie was not the first girl he murdered. The sad part is, there really are people like this in the world.
