First off I thought the book was
pretty good well better than I expected. The ending was shocking not that it
was predictable because throughout it was foreshadowed that he was going to
kill Lark. Joes determination to give his mother justice is so huge that he is
willing to kill a man for her. I think it shows how much love is really in
their family. Joe grows so much by the end of the book. Just the way he talks
in the book shows this. He becomes more mature then when we first met him. I
think the act of murdering Lark was the final blow to him causing him to reach
a peak in his adolescent. The way he talked about the drive home and how they
always stop at the diner when they pass. I saw it as him leaving his childhood
behind and he was ok with it. I was so surprised when Sonja took all of Joes
money and used it to “start her new life”. She made it so clear as for him to
not tell anyone about which makes me think she was planning to take it all
along. They said that Lark all of a sudden got a ton a money and Joe thought
that it could be his money the Sonja gave to him. But in the end Whitney said
that Sonja was coming back to him. That reminds me of Huckleberry Finn when at
the end of the book Huck goes back to when we first met him leaving behind all
his moral change. I think in this situation Whitney is Huck in him for forgiving
Sonja and letting her come back. The ending wasn't what I thought it would be.
