"Hunting the Hunter" by Stanley Suter

 Prompt- Who is you favorite and least favorite character? Why?

        This week I have been reading "Hunting the Hunter" by Gordon Korman and I both finished and liked it. The assassin "Hairless joe" finally found Meg and Aiden, and of course, tried to kill them both. Aiden's plan was to lure the assassin to the farm and then record the confession. Things went wrong when the assassin showed up to the farm unexpectedly and cornered Aiden before he could get the recorder. The book concluded when the assassin died and Aiden didn't get a confession, sending them to prison while their lawyers and the FBI work on breaking them and their parents out.

        My favorite character would have to be Mr.Turnbull. He owned the farm and hired Aiden to be a working hand. He is the funniest character in the book as well as the quickest to shoot people. For example, when he heard gun shots in the distance, he grabbed his shot gun and accidentally shot an FBI agent (not killing him). He owns a 300 pound pig that he trained to attack anyone new on the farm,  enemies as well as friends.

        My least favorite character would be agent Chealsy. She killed the Assassin against orders and is in general just a slow character. She is the one who tracks the messages on a computer leading to Aiden, and then she gets in the way, showing up late to the farm during the fighting, and killing the assassin. She just wanted to mess the siblings up.
