Silent Witness by Rebecca Forster
Finished reading it today. It’s a story about actual cause of the death of a mentally challenged kid, who died in an amusement park. Was pretty slow in the beginning but what I enjoyed was the thought process of each person and their changing motives.
Also, I don’t believe someone can be helped unless they want to be helped, so in Wilson’s case the kindness shown to him by Jude is sweet, but behavior that is self destructive should Never be encouraged.
What is justice at the end of the day but the knowledge of truth ? There are always many sides to the same story, but there’s only one side that can be held true.
What I did not like was how the story drags at times with unnecessary descriptions.
By the end of it, I knew who the culprit actually was, but the cause and effect described in the end was intriguing. How is it that someone’s indifference towards a child or a parent’s selfish, manipulative love can be justified ?? In the end it comes down to the fact that people can be vindictive without reason or rhyme, seeing no further than their own point of view. And that is just not right. If you truly love someone you’ll do everything to make sure you respect all their desires and they are taken care of, by whatever means necessary.Also, I don’t believe someone can be helped unless they want to be helped, so in Wilson’s case the kindness shown to him by Jude is sweet, but behavior that is self destructive should Never be encouraged.
