pretty good book

Overall, Montana 1948 turned out to be a good book, which was the opposite of how i felt when i first saw it. That goes to show you not to judge a book by its cover. The ending of the book was very abrupt and i felt that the emotions of Frank's family was not displayed or portrayed enough after his death. I found it a little scary how Frank admitted to his sexual assaults and murder of marie without any guilt at all which makes me feel he was really insane. A sane person would not laugh at charges that would ruin his life, and Frank proved his lack of sanity by killing himself. It was an irrational solution to his problem that ended up making the situation easier on everyone in his family. I didn't expect the book to end the way it did and it made the book very exciting to have the entire problem solved within the last pages of the book.

Morale Dilema

Davy's Father is torn between protecting and helping his brother, and punishing his brother for the crimes he has committed. As a brother, he should do all he can to help him, but as the sheriff of the town, he should punish his brother for all of the crimes that he has committed against the young indian girls. Frank abuses his power as a doctor to abuse, molest, and rape young inocent girls. His brother Wes knows that he should arrest and prosecute his brother for his crimes, but seems as if he just cannot bring himself to arrest his own brother. I can understand how hard it would be to send your own brother to prison, but in this case, the crimes are too severe to go unpunished.
