I think this book is great. People who like mystery and crime will love this book. My favourite part of the book was, of course, the ending of the book because the big crimes were solved and Half Moon puts all his clues and evidence together and announces it to the public. My favourite character is Red because he takes care of his little brother and is a friendly guy unless you anger him. Overall, I would give this book a rating of 9/10.

Stephen King's __Different Seasons__ is a great series of short stories, each one with a different season as its theme. The first story is about an old man wrong fully accused and his life in prison. It is one of the only stories which is not a horrific story. The second story is about a young boy who is blackmailing an old man living in his neighborhood to reawaken the ghosts of his past and becomes entwined in an world war II investigation. In the third story, a writer looks back on the journey he took with three friends when he was a child to find another boy's dead body and to help solve a murder case. The final story, is a horror story narrated by a doctor, about a patient whose spirit keeps her near dead baby alive despite all the odds against her. It's the best tale in the book. David Liu
