Part I- Ace of Diamonds

We have just finished the first part of the book. What are your thoughts/comments/questions about this section of the book. Do you think Ed behaved appropriately with the first three addresses? What would you have done with the card? Would you have done things differently then Ed? If so, what? Why? Who do you think Ed helped the most in this section? Why? What do you think will happen in Part II? What will be on the second card? More addresses or something different? Explain why.

I think that the first part of the book does well in building and showing who Ed is, and who he's becoming. I think his actions in the first three addresses were all the right actions. I myself would have kept the card. Though, I would have most likely interacted differently with Sophie. Only because of the way I am as a person. I think I might have been more direct, in a manner of speaking. I think Ed helped the man from Edgar Street the most. I think this because to help good people is easy, but to bestow betterment upon a person of evil is a far more challenging task. I think in part two rather than helping people now, that Ed may need to help himself. I think the second card will be the Ace of Clubs. The way I assume this is that, already having used a red card, and assuming the Ace of Spades is the high card, that the Ace of Clubs is definitely the next card.

I think that Ed wanted to help but he just didn't want to do it that way. I think that if i was him i would help but not in that way cause if he gets caught then he gets in trouble. But since he did do it i think he took it well and scared him good. =]
I think that part one was really good and i cant wait to read part 2.

I really don't have any questions about the first part of the book. I was absolutely shocked that Ed actually killed a man. I do believe Ed behaved appropriately with the first three addresses, especially Edgar St. I still don't know what I would have done with the card, and I may have acted the same with the first two addresses. But I am not exactly sure what I would do with the gun and the man. I'm not so positive if I would have the "Balls" to actually kill someone. I think he helped the mother and daughter the most, hopefully anyway. Getting rid of their problem maybe they can actually start over and move on with their lives.
I think in the second part of the book it will reflect on part one and then on the card, I don't think there is going to be more addresses. I think it will be something almost completely different. I'm not sure why, just he's helped some significant people, but something will be different with the next card. Believing it will reflect more on himself.

This part of the book was really good. I kept up with the book and understood it. Ed didnt behave like he should of till the end of the book. Taking action in such things hes witnessing and putting an end to it. I would have kept the card, to see what it brought upon. Since it brought this, I would follow the clues and do what it says to do. I believe Ed helped Angelina& the mother out the most. In part II I think Ed is going to receive harder and more challenging cards. He's going to be rewarded for what he has done. I believe there will be more addresses but harder tasks. Better tasks to help out some more people

thos book is ok i guess. and personally i would have probly done the same thing as ed. he helped a little girl out and i think that it was the right thing to do. i think that part 2 will be somewhat simmilar. i also think their will be more more adresses on the card. ed just seems like a helpfull guy so.

I like this book because I get a rush through my body. Its a really good book so far an I think that it will get better as I red on. My question is how does Ed feel after he kills the guy? I think he did act appropratley how he acted because I would probably act the same as him. I think I would be a little weirded out and not want to do it because something bad could happen to me. Nope I would totally do the same thing. I think Ed helped the little girl and her mom the most because now they don't have to deal with the hurt anymore. I think more dangerous things will happen because a lot of weird things have happened already.

I think this book is really good. & yes I do think that Ed behaved appropriately, I think that there would be more addresses. I think that with the addresses he knows what to do more. & its easy to help people.

The first part of the book was really confusing. It got better :) Ed did the right thing and i would have done the same thing. At the end of part one when he killed the dude i was like kill him already. It carried on and on. If i were Ed i would have killed him instantly.

I am really confused about the ending is he dead or is he still alive? I really hope he's dead but at the same time i hope he's not I'm so excited about this book. Lots of tension. I probably would have just tried to drag him out of the car and shot him there. If the guy is dead then he helped the two girls out the most but if he's not then he helped Milla out the most. I have no clue what will be on the second card but I'm pretty stoked to find out

I am just excited to read on. This book is actually very good. On the next card i believe their is going to be different writings on it. I believe he is going to continue on with his adventure. I think he helped the little girl more then anyone else. I would have definitely gone and helped the little girl as soon as I herd what was happening. I would have been scared, but definitely motivated.

The first part of the book was really confusing. It got better though. Ed did the right thing and i would have done the same thing. At the end of part one when he was about to kill the man i was thinking in my head like wow your taking forever. I wonder whats going to happen to Ed after that night. And what Ed is doing with Milla is kind of messed up. He is letting her call him Jimmy when thats not even his name. She thinks he's someone else and he's just letting it happen. But why?
