Reply To: The Madness of Crowds: What did you think of it and why?
This book was disturbing on several levels. I know that there is not a black and white dichotomy for right vs. wrong, but many of the actions taken in this book seemed to be “wrong” even if done for the right reasons. I don’t think Louise was trying to say, “It’s ok to kill under certain circumstances,” but it’s human nature to protect family, loved ones, and those who can’t protect themselves. When Jean Guy was faced with the “suicide by cop” situation, you could feel the strength it took to not shoot.
