The are many things that I enjoyed about this book Mr.Was. The first thing that got me interested in this book is when Jack's grandfather very sick in the merge of dying and Jack sees him for the first time, then his grandfather strangling him and saying "Kill you! Kill you! Kill you again!"p.15. This moment got me very interested because I started to wonder why his grandfather tried to kill him. Another thing that got me interested in this book is when Jack started to see someone invisible, like the time Jack was in his grand father's funeral and some one was whispering "what goes around comes around", then Jack sees his mother talking to someone invisible. At that moment, I started to wonder why couldn't he see that person.
