Least and Favorite Part
Favorite: When the killer turned it into a personal matter with Bennett. I like this because It adds suspense to the book.
Least: I did not like some of the dramatic parts, I wish that there was more action.
Best and Worst Characters
Best: Michael Bennett because some of the things he had to overcome and deal with to try and find the killer.
Worst: I do not have a worst because I like both characters but I enjoy Bennett more then the Teacher.
Theme
The theme of the book is perseverance because he had to overcome so many hard battles with his kid and other random stuff.
Quotes: “You know the pop is coming, but damn if it don't always surprise you.”
“He was the Teacher, the world was his students, and class was about to begin.”
