The Killing Circle by: Andrew Pyper

This book had met our group's expectations of suspense, but we all felt that it lacked something to it's story. It had met our expectations that it would be different from the usual types of book in an English class, but now we realize that it was a little hard to analyze. It was a book that was mainly plot, so the little details were more plot related than it was to theme which makes it much harder to teach in a class if you are planning to go into a lot of detail. That would be very difficult to do. You could teach the entire book but you would need to do it with less detail. Telling a class to read up to a certain section and then discussing and writing about it would be the best option. The other ways you could teach this book would be to take parts from it and teach only those parts, or you could use it as an independent novel.

One of the problems our group found with this book was the fact that it was written more like the latest action thriller more than it was as a book. This is probably why the emphasis on one theme was more prominent than the others. The theme of fear bending one's perception on reality is the biggest theme you will find in this book.
