One of the books that I have read in the past was The Slow Moon by Elizabeth Cox. I thought it was a good book because I couldn’t put it down. I read this book in high school just to read it because I had nothing else to do. When I read books I put myself in their position and ask myself what I would do if that happened to me. I had a few emotions go through me when reading the slow moon. I was curious, and scared at times throughout the book because the Sophie was just waiting for her boyfriend Crow to come back from the truck and she starts to hear noises and then the next thing you know Sophie was getting raped. I noticed that when something was said and it was important, it was in italics. When I was reading the slow moon I didn’t understand why Crow’s friends would rape his girlfriend? He didn’t do anything to them to deserve it and even if he did Sophie didn’t have to get raped. I think this book contains relevance for the audience reading it because it’s actually interesting, mysterious, somewhat scary, and a love story. I felt bad for Crow because everyone started to hate him because they all thought he raped her because his pants and wallet were found at the scene where Sophie was raped. Crows life was sucking and he didn’t know what to do. When Crow found out who it was he went beat them up. If I was Crow I would have done the same thing. When the book ended I was disappointed because I wanted there to be more!
