The killer inside me




I I started a new book called The Killer Inside Me. It's a really creepy book about this killer who has a sickness. In the book it is through his eyes. He is a police officer in a town in Texas and he is evil. Whenever something angers him he kills a person. This book is a little to creepy for me but I want to finish it. His name is Lou. In the book people who know him say. He's calm and a gentleman, but then he turns out to be a monster. At the part I am at, he has already killed three people. Two of which did nothin bad to him. He was ordered to make these two criminals get out of the town and he ended up killing them both. After this others find one and find out she is alive. This book is different because instead of it being told through a narrator or a person other than the killer, he is telling it. Since he tells the story, it is hard to follow because his reasons of killing people make no sense. He says that he has this sickness which forces him to do these things. Also, he finds out that his brother was murdered by a man that he works under, this really doesn't tie into the story but for some reason he mentions it a lot. I think it is trying to point out that he can't complain about this considering how big if a monster he is himself. This one part says that he is dealing with a man in jail who is high. The man tries to escape by pushing Lou but instead of using force and hurting the man, Lou just lets the man tired himself out. He says that he has to much pride to hurt someone that is high. This shows that he is not mentally stable because he kills innocent people all the time.

I am number four (2nd entry)

I have made progress in reading my book. I am at a part were he was settled in a small town in Ohio and is going to school. It goes through the whole new kid in high school scene and its normal. John is an outcast, he's bullied by a football player and he has a crush on the jocks ex. I read a part were when he gets angry lights glow out of his hands. He goes home and his guardian tells him that it is one of the powers he inherited through his planet. I think this book is pretty good, but it uses the same high school scene and his powers are not that impressive. It also does not explain why their culture is being hunted. It skips over important details and focuses more on his high school experience which is not very interesting. More of the action is to come because i have seen the movie. Even though I have seen it already, I can already see new details that have been left out of the movie. The main plot is interesting to me but they don't play in out very well. Everything goes by really fast. Usually, slow books are boring but i think they make more sense. He also stares at an astronomy nerd that i know has something to do with the plot. I also know that the father is going to want to leave and the John is going to rebel because he want to stay with the girl. The girl is also a photographer and Henri bans John from getting his picture because they can be tracked. John foolishly lets her take picture of him and he has it back in his mind that it will come back to hurt him.
