CDF 3-4

One thing that I didn't understand while I was reading this book was why the Vicario twins told everyone that they wanted to kill Santiago. Why wouldn't they keep that to themselves? Also, because everyone knew, including the police, why wouldn't someone have tired to stop this problem before it got to killing Santiago? However, I do understand where they are coming from when they say that they thought the twins were joking. If someone came up to me and said they wanted to cut someone's guts out, I wouldn't really believe them either.

I was thinking that because Santiago and Mrs. Creves had the affair, if everyone in the town had knew about it, that was the reason that Angela had named Santiago as the person who had taken her virginity, because it would have been more believable.

One thing I do not like about this book AT ALL is that it jumps from scene to scene - from past to future and it gets on my nerves and confuses me a lot . I think if its going to be on one topic, stay on that topic for the whole chapter. It gets really confusing.

One thing I do like, however, is that it is so descriptive. When I was reading the part about the autopsy, I could, even if I didn't want to, imagine it in my head. I really like that in books.

However, in this case, the bad outweighs the good for me.
