Overall Opinion
Ever
since I was little, I have always been intrigued by mysteries. Monk has been my favorite TV show since I was
a little kid, along with watching Law and Order: SVU as I got older. I have even taken forensics classes in the
summer! I knew that I would enjoy I Hunt Killers by Barry Lyga as soon as
I read the title. I have to admit that
at first, I found the novel to be a bit boring and a struggle to get
through. Little did I know was that as I
read on, I would become extremely captivated in Jazz Dent’s story. I think that the story has a lot of
unpredictable twists and turns to it, making the reader always want to read
more. Through growing up with his father, Jazz knows what serial killers are
capable of accomplishing. I think that
Jazz’s knowledge of the capabilities of serial killers is a crucial part of
what motivated him to not follow his father’s footsteps. One of
my favorite components of the novel was how Barry Lyga allowed the readers to
get inside Jazz’s head, hearing Billy Dent’s voice. The author really paints a mental picture in
the reader’s minds throughout the entire book.
I definitely recommend this novel for not only mystery lovers, but for
anyone! I Hunt Killers by Barry Lyga is capable of hooking anyone on the
novels cliffhangers.
