I am now finished the book WINKIE it was very interesting in the sense that I couldn’t put it down, however I was very disappointed with the ending, it did not answer all my questions such as, what was the final verdict of the trial and what happened to the younger bear. However I enjoyed that it was a very good book and I would recommend to someone that was looking for something odd yet different to read.
I have read three books since the start of the semester they include; WINKIE, Dead End Job and Life on the refrigerator door.
All three of these books have not been challenging to read though they keep my attention. I am awful for, while reading I do nothing else until I am finished my book, no matter how it is in length.
My favourite of the three would probably have to be life on the refrigerator door because it was easy to follow and it made you feel as if you were the one who the letters were intended for. The only questions that would arise from this book were if it was real or not, because to be able to imagine something this wonderful, yet horrible would be crazy.

MORE ABOUT WINKIE

I really hate how this book in the end left me the reader looking for answeres. The author probably did this for dramatic effect, which was achieved.

In my mind I would like to think that the traial ended with everyone seeing the truth and finding Winkie innocent. I think that the jury would see this through compasion for the bear. also the flashbacks in the novel helped me in making my decision for innocence.

DEAD END JOB

The novel dead End Job was very short in length however the story behind it was very exhilarating yet chilling.

A small summary of the story would be this girl working at a gas station started getting stalked by a guy who fell in love with her and became murderous towards her.

A two line summary is able to show how crazy the novel was, there as kidnapping, following and driving away loved ones.

  1. What do you think the final verdict was on the trial? Why? What do you think happened to the bear? I wonder why some authors chose to leave us hanging after a novel, and why they choose to? What benefit does it have to us the reader?
