Revolver Post 1

             In the book Revolver, Sig lives with his father Einar, his sister Anna, and his stepmom Nadya outside the very small town of Giron. Einar’s favorite possession is the Colt revolver that he owns, Nadya is a strong follower of God and preaches His word daily, Anna is Nadya’s helper with the housework but they don’t get along very well, and Sig his father’s son, he loves Einar and follows him. The book starts at the day of the death of Sig’s father Einar. He went out on the frozen lake and slipped through the ice before he could make it home from work, and he froze to death. The next day a mysterious giant man named Wolff shows up and demands to see Einar and says that he has unfinished business. Once Wolff finds out about Einar’s death, he turns to Sig to finish the deal they had. Sig and his family are in danger and he must find a way out of it. They spent some of the book describing the revolver, how beautiful it is because it is the perfect machine, the way they describe it can be used in real life when explaining how beautifully things are made, and how they work. This book reminds me of some of Gary Paulsen’s works because it’s the story of a young boy becoming a man in the face of danger, I love Gary Paulsen and I loved this book too.
