The Killers

Before I really got into The Killers, I thought it was going to be another boring story written by another boring old man. Personally, I still believe my guess was correct. This story was hard for me to read and get into. I didn't find it appealing to my liking simply because there was nothing truly exciting going on. In the beginning, the two men that enter the restaurant are extremely rude to the staff. After they small talk with the two waiters for a while I, as the reader find out that they are looking for someone. They have been instructed to find and kill someone by the name of Ole Anderson. Throughout the entire story, we never get to find out why they are searching for this man. That was something else I did not like. I wanted to at least know if Anderson had committed any sort of offense that would result in the need to be killed. I could go on and on about what I did not like about this story, but that would just be a waste of time. In the end I would have preferred to read something with a little more "meat." This is something that I definitely do not want to read again. On the up side, the video of the students re-enacting this story was funny.
