Title: After The First Death
Plot Summary: Miro,a young man, hijacks a bus along with his teacher Artkin, an experienced terrorist, to try and gain power and recognition so that they can go back to their old country. They hold the children and the driver hostage, until a the police meet their demands- one million dollars, to release prisoners of their country, and finally to end the existence of a secret government organization called inner delta.
Review: This is a great book that many people would enjoy. It is very interesting and is full of suspense. It is hard to put this book down once you start reading it. Hopefully most people can't relate to the main character who is a serial killer in training, but most people can relate somewhat to the driver of the bus, an 18-year old girl. To some this book might be confusing due to frequent switching of characters, but this is still a great book.
