Ok so i was assigned to read this book called, Jason's Gold, and I almost cried! I hate it! Its Terrible! Here read this its directly from the book, "A few minutes later, where a stream plunged across the trail, he came across a man in utter rage, a burly man with red suspenders who seemed to be holding one of his dogs underwater. That's exactly what he wasdoing- he was drowning the dog!
Jason's eyes went to the bodies of three dead dogs among the rocks downstream. In the cursing,roaring height of passion, the man was drowning every one of the dogs!
The human serpent, meanwhile, was passing by with only mild curiosity.
Jason coulden't pass by. Mouth agape, he stepped away from the line. The dog in the madman's huge hands was dead now; it floated downstream torward the others. With a bearlike roar, the man turned to unbuckle his fith and last dog from the tug line. It was a black- and-white husky, a big male, big enough that it should have been trying to resist.
Jason was trembling. His face was flushing hot, his fists clenching and unclenching helplessly. Like the horses on the trail, the dog seemed to reconize its fate, and had accepted it. The husky simply lay on its side and rolled its eyes away from the spectacle of the man who'd lost his reason. The man with the red suspenders grabbed up the dog by its harness and plunged its head and shoulders under the water, pinning the husky with his knee." Yes, I do love huskys in fact i have one. And yes, there was more chapters like this one earlier in the book. Luckily, there is a happy part to this particular part, though it was still terrible... But, to me it was pure torture reading this book and i hope in all my life i will never be assigned to read something like it again! Yeah, sorry Will Hobbs (author) but, no, just no...
It was like reading out of a death letter, and I almost cried. Also, go ahead make fun of me I don't care! But, Im just a simple animal lover who is giving an opinion...
