This sight is a blog of a man named Samuel who was writing a review of the book. He made some good theme comparisons that were smart and made sense. His most interesting point was how similar some themes were to the book To Kill A Mockingbird.

This is a literary review from the UMass Dartmouth literature department. It gives a lot of themes and comparisons to other literature in an effective, understandable way.

The link above is a blog of an english professor's book reviews and explanations. It shows his opinions on the themes of the book, I think that it gave an accurate opinion of the book and had similar views to myself.

This article is about covering up crimes, which is the theme that I would like to focus on while writing this paper. Covering up crimes is a big part of the book Montana 1948. This is about a scandal in the Catholic churches that was covered up and eventually let go after a huge sum was payed to the victims of the scandal. This type of scandal wound up destroying many people's reputations, like it did for the Hayden family in Montana 1948
