Alright, so before reading more into this book, I’d like to take a moment to reflect about everything that has gone on. For some reason this book just isn’t grabbing my interest; I don’t know why, it’s just not happening.
So, so far we have Henry Park, who is estranged from his wife, Leila. Together, the two had a son, Mitt, who died in a tragic “accident”, although Leila flips over Henry using that term. It seems that Henry’s whole family is gone: his mother, father, Mitt, Ahjuhma, and now his wife. Although Henry’s family is gone, he seems to have a close relationship with the people he works with. Speaking of his job, we’re still unsure of exactly what he does. We know that he stalks people and tries to become a part of their life (ie-Kwang). Yet, for some reason, when he’s done with these people, they end up dead, such as the pysciatrist. What have these people done that they must be killed?
As much as I’m not enjoying this book as much as the others, I am intrigued as to why certain things are happening. Obviously, there are some underlying factors that have caused these events to happen. I feel nervous for Henry, afriad that he will slip up and end up revelaing who he is and what his real job is. What will become of him? These burning questions make reading this book so difficult because I feel that it is so drawn out. But, what can I do? Continue to read!
I am also a little confused about his job but I think hes like turning these people in and ratting them out. I think thats a hard line of work to do and be able to look at yourself the next day knowing that you just destroyed these peoples lives. Especially when he thinks about how easily it could be done back to him.
