  1. Hi Logan!
    It is so fun to read another person's takeaways from the same reading. I was so tired when I was finishing the book so there were a couple things from your notes that I must have missed. For example, I missed Vivian admitting she was been with Eddie Mars.
    Thank you for sharing your notes!

  2. Hi Logan,
    I really like how you did your notes. They are very simple but gives a lot of detail about what happened in each chapter. I feel like they can be very useful when going back to review them. They can also be very helpful for writing your weekly analysis. Keep up the great work. Have a great week.

  3. Hi again, Logan!

    I enjoyed reading your notes. They were detailed and even I, who have not read the book yet, was able to get a grasp of what is going on. I am just a little bit confused because I have the impression that everyone is a detective in this story haha
    Your lats notes say that "it ended and they 'slept the big sleep'." I wonder what it means. They are Riley and Eddie? So it means they died and "slept the big sleep?"
