It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad River

Virgil Flowers is maturing and I am falling even deeper in love with him.  Mad River was a terrific book and I love the way the Flowers sticks up for the rights of human beings, for the way he thinks about God every night.  He's a truly good guy.  There was a chance that I wouldn't like Mad River, because the criminals are teenagers and they are comparable to (even the book mentions this) the folks in the movie Natural Born Killers.  But Sandford gets into the heads of the killers and you can see that they aren't like the NBK folks.  I really can't stand that movie.  It has ruined everything that Woody Harrelson has been in for me.  I just can't stand that movie!  I am sure that Woody Harrelson is a great guy and a great actor, but that movie...ugh.  I just felt so sick after I saw it. And this from the person who has seen Henry:  Portrait of a Serial Killer more than once!  So yeah, this one is about three older teenagers who go on a killing spree in a bunch of small towns in Minnesota.  And Virgil is off and running, trying to stop them.
