The main character of the book I read is Mickey Bolitar. He has blue eyes, short brown hair, is five feet tall and weighs just over two hundred pounds. He acts like a normal high school kid and can be very curious at times. When the book's topics intrigued him, he usually got into trouble with the police or his uncle. Like when he was at the “Bat Lady” house and he walked in without even knocking on the door and when he was inside, somehow the house caught fire and burned down. The police arrived and had arrested him for trespassing. That time he was curious he got in trouble with the police, not with his uncle. His personality is curious, protective, willing, friendly and nice. He was once very protective of his friend Ema when some of the mean kids at school said "Hey ema moo!" When he felt like he was about to explode but Ema gave him a look that said no. He interacts well with other characters except the people he doesn't like and the bad ones. Mickey Mouse was my favorite character in the book. The main idea of this book is that we are all stronger than we think. It was developed through the book by all the times Mickey and his friends got into trouble with really bad people, but they made it and kept moving forward. Like when they were at school on a Friday night after everyone had left. It was around 9pm and they were looking in a suspicious locker. They had found some drugs and a lot of money in the locker, when everyone looked at each other and said "What do we do?" Then two really big, armed guys showed up behind them and said “Give it to us.” So right away Ema went into a classroom and called the police and Mickey used his lead......middle of the paper......onological order. I think the author wrote the book this way because it was a murder mystery. I think the events were perfectly written in chronological order. The main idea of solving a murder was also good, but it was even better because it added mini adventures that kept the story interesting. The author made the characters relatable to someone my age. The way he went into detail with the main story and the way he let all the characters have a little spotlight at some point in the story made you get to know each character and feel like you knew them. It helped you understand the friendship between Mickey and his friends. Mickey felt protective because they were all so close, which helps you understand why he was willing to do so much to protect them. These are the reasons why I think Harlen Coben did this the way he did it.
