In my book, the Confessions of a Murder Suspect, The Angel Parents are found dead in their room with no evidence of break in so who did it? The only people in the house at the time were the 4 kids and their nanny, Samantha. Tandy tells you the story from her point of view and what happened. I think that she is a likable character because she isn’t always sweet and caring and good like you think a protagonist would be. She is a suspect of her own parents murder, but is still trying to live her everyday life. I think that just because the book has a likable character doesn’t mean that its an easy book, or an easy read. There’s a lot of things that wouldn’t be very clear to you, until the end of the book or until Tandy gives you a confession. Some things still aren’t clear to me and hopefully they will be explained further in the second book. Tandy is a likable protagonist but is also the antagonist because maybe she did kill her parents. As a reader who liked Tandy I hoped that she didn’t kill her parents because I liked her as the protagonist, but if she did, I think the story would be just as good either way. Weather you think that likable characters makes for a boring and easy book or if you don’t mind, I really enjoyed this book and thought that Tandy was a good character and made the book interesting.

This books sounds interesting I have always liked a good mystery! And I agree that a likeable character doesn't always mean being "sweet and caring", sometimes it can mean being unique and unexpected that interests the reader. And I hope she didn't kill her parents, but I guess I'll have to read it to find out who did!
ReplyDeleteYeah I agree with you! I would highly recommend this book, its a good read:)
DeleteI agree with you and Taylor that a likable character doesn't have to be completely relatable or sweet. One of my favorite characters of all time is Loki. Now I don't know what you know about Loki, but he's not exactly caring. He's actually the antagonist for a lot of the J.J. Abrams movies and in the comics. But he's likable because he's just as sassy as I am. Is he sweet? Not even remotely. But he's still a good character.
ReplyDeleteThats how Tandy is, not very sweet but I still like her. Her parents are extremely cold , yet I still seem to like them
