Seductive Poison-By Deborah Layton
This novel is about the tradgedy that occured in Jonestown which is essentially when the peoples temple created a colt and the leader, Jim jones, got people such as the author, Deborah, to join the temple and leave for Guyana, Africa, ehich Jim Jones considered the promised land. Jones was a very persuasive man and manipulated people into joining this church and colt by catering to there problems. Her was beleivable and everyone trusted him and thought that Guyana would be like heavean and be an escape land. It turned out that he took all of there money and valuable belongings and harrassed and tortured them in Africa. Noone could leave the territory, gaurds blocked it, and eventually when a senator found out and came to take a look, he was killed and the whole population of the peoples temple was forced todrink "kool aid" which was a poisonous posion. Jones turned from a loved man into a man corrupted by the evils and power and turned crazy. I reccomend this book to anyone, it was fantastic and really taught me about an interesting topic. It is somewhat of a difficult read so keep that in mind, but I loved it and I think anyone would truly enjoy this novel.
where are the children?- abandoned
I thought this book seemed interesting, yet it started off boring and seemed like it was not challenging enough. It was about a lady who lost her two kids and was accused of murdering them. It was appealing at first but was boring and too easy of a read. That is why I abandoned this novel
