Personal resolution A Kiss before Dying Firstly, I need to read this novel in the club and I start to read it with the lukewarmness because it is pretty thick book. When I read it for four to quintuplet pages of book, I feel it is a bit fun. So, I continue read it all. In the story, I really sympathize Dorothy and the baby because they are killed pitifully. They didnt do anything wrong, especially the baby the baby does nothing.In my understanding, Marion is really adroit she investigates and tries to find the truth and she got it at the final. Bud is heartless, he kills the innocent. I strongly like this writing style of this novel it is divided in many parts many chapters. The can read only one or two chapters and pause and do other thing and I ca n back to read again. The thrillers make me fun and scared sometimes. I feel pity for the Kingships. The Kingships daughters were killed. And Bud deserves falling into the smelter because he did many really bad things to other.
