Kill The Possum
James Moloney
7/10
The book that started it all!
This is the book that a read almost a year ago and originally put the idea of a book blog into my head and is the reason that I gave the blog such an obscure and stupid title. This book was part of a wider reading program run by none other than... Silver Fox, RPV, The V Man, everybody's favourite teacher, Mr. Vernon!!
The book itself is Young Adult and revolves around two teenage boys who are planning to murder a man. This book looks at many of the difficult questions relating to murder and whether or not murder can be justified. Lots of "fun" to read and analyse. There are a number of mature themes in the book which makes it the kind of book that you will have to really think about. Fortunately, if thinking is not really your thing then never fear, it is a great book with a decent storyline and an interesting set of plot twists that keep you enthralled till the end.
Overall the book is quite enjoyable and is worth reading even if you dont need to write an essay or six about it. However not worth a detention.
