But also, I found this book interesting because of it's suspenese and well-written words, but was unable to a lack of emotion in the characters. I found myself wincing again and again as the author brought details up like when a dead little girl's eyes had been eaten, and realized how horible this tsunami must of actually been in real life. "The Killing Sea" by Richard Lewis is a very interesting book, but I found it to be too graphic for me. I was very intigued at how powerful this natural disasteer! THe characters, a teenage girl, a younger boy, and a local Acehnese boy had very easy-to-believe personalities in the book- they helped make the story come alive.
While Sarah and Ruslan don't really know each other, they get to know each other as they save Peter from an up-turned boat, get shot at by rebels as they drive through a swamp, and try to rush Peter to the hospital. The novel "The Killing Sea" is about a boy named Ruslan and a girl named Sarah working together to get her sick brother, Peter to a help when a major tsunami strikes Aceh, Indonesia. This is a great book about adventure and I didn't want to put the book down. Even though there are several times when Ruslan wants to give up, he thinks about his dad and knows that he is still alive. While all of this is going on, Ruslan also is trying to find his dad. The main problem that they faced though was that many of the cities were torn up because of the waves that went through the city. This was very concerning for Sarah because she knew that if she did not find a hospital for Peter soon, he would die. After several days of walking, Peter starts to feel very sick. Sarah did not notice at the time but Ruslan was the same boy that helped her dad with their boat the day before the tsunami. Then while Sarah and Peter are walking they meet Ruslan. This is very upsetting for Sarah and Peter, but they know that they need to care for themselves and take care of each other. While they are there, a tsunami hits and their parents die. In the beginning of the story, Sarah and her family are on vacation in Aceh, Indonesia. The Killing Sea is a great book that I would definitely recommend to others.
