"It's never too late to change, "
I like this passage. I think this is really true because I once experienced how people could change their thinkings and attitude to everything after I gave a birth to my son. I never imagined I would be like who I am now before. I think when people get something really precious, it makes them change to who they have wanted to be.
This book is interesting, but I didn't get the ending so I chose 4 stars.

It was a quick read for me. I didn't realise that I had finished the book when I was on my last page.
The story was captivating from beginning to end.
Not too many difficult words to look up.

A reread. I still like the story. It's different in a way that it was told from the killer's points of view. The killer killed people for money but he didn't question who was the one who trying to recruit him for his coming kill. And that put his life in danger.
