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.
