      This is a story about Ellen and her brother, Al. When Al was born, she wasn't happy, because her parents weren't interested in her. When she is an adult, she goes on hating him　again.　The reason was that she is a poor single mother and Al become a rich rock star but he gave her nothing. I can feel my parents love for me whenever. Ellen is pitiful. But, her act is wrong.　If she had more kind heart, she would be happy.I think so.

      Ellen Shore always hates her brother. She is in prison because she killed her brother. Why did she hate him? I am interested in this book because I can understnd her feelings against her brother and I think she is sad. If my real sister is like him, I may become like Ellen. I want to read this book again.

      Ellen hated her brother Al because he was always loved by their parents than her.She was envy.When they became adults,Al didn't treated Ellen like sister.He became to stray from the path of upright behavior. I felt little fear while reading because I thought all characters in this book were little mad for their desires.They forget themselves for satisfying.I have a little brother,but I won't never do like Ellen.

      Ellen was living fortunately with parents. Until younger brother Al under 6 years old is born.Parents' concern is taken to Al and Ellen came to regard Al as hateful. I think this story is organized bery good!And cover and an illustration are very dreadful. Because I was the eldest son, I was able to sympathize with Ellen.

      Ellen Shore has a younger brother, Al. Until she was six years old, she was loved by her parents, but after Al's birth, HIS parents loved only Al. So Ellen has hated him. And her hatred against him causes a big matter...This story is very thrilling, so I enjoyed reading it very much. It relates to science and mystery, but it is easy to read and understand. I learned that poverty sometimes causes big matters, and I was sad.

      She is a nurse with three children. Her name is Ellen. She dislikes her younger brother all the time from a child's time. However, he becomes Rock Star and is successful.Then, she comes to think that she would like to kill him. But...The first half of this book, I was able to read lightly. There were also no serious contents. However,When people worse than Ellen to aim at her younger brother's property appeared, the tale became more serious and more serious. This book contents is easy so I can finish to read soon.
    • 4/5
      Since she was a small girl, Ellen Shore has hated her brother Al who had stolen the love and interest of "her" parents. His unkindness for her didn't change at all even after they grew up, so gradually she came to have an idea. Her brother hasn't married, so she can be rich instead of his death. However, the story has already started without her appearance.This story starts with this sentence " I killed a dead man.". This too early appearance of the big "key" inspires us to imagine variously, but despite that, this author shows us an unexpected ending, for even Ellen, the main charactor of this story. After reading, we can understand the meaning of the "key", and then, soon it becomes "a mere of sentence" as if it were from the very beginning. I recommend you having such a mysterious experiencce.

      Ellen Shore has younger brother, Al. Although she doesn't like Al, she take care of Al when they become adults. Al becomes a famous singers. After the world tour, he brings strange friends, Mr. and Mrs. Future. And this couple does the amazing way to grant Al's wish.I can't understand all calacters' feeling. Ellen who is a heroine in this book ,often care about money. Ellen is not a good or poor sister. I can't want her to be happy. But Al is egocentric. Mr. and Mrs. Future look suspicious.I wasn't attracted by characters, so I can't enjoy this story.

      Ellen is in prison because she killed her brother Al. She hated Al because he always had which she couldn't had. And Al ordered Ellen like a maid,so she clean his house,cook,and steal drugs(she worked in a hospital.She was a nurse.)for him. And one day,he introduced one couple to her at a party...This story is little horror and the developping is little sudden. So my heart was baeting fast while I was reading. And I read it in very short time. I understood Ellen's feeling very well when she was a child because I am older sister and have a young brother too. I couldn't imagine the content from the title, so I was surprise at the end of this story.
    • 4/5
      Ellen Shore has brother Al who is six yearsyounger than her.She doesn't love her brother because of his parents didn't care her enough, after he was born.When they are adults, Al become very famous and rich musician, and Ellen is still poor and unhappy.She hate he more and more, and planing the one terrible plan....I have a brother too, and he is three years younger than me.Sometimes we are argue but basicaly, we have good relationships.The story is so terrible.I wonder if human could became so greed.
    • 5/5
      Ellen was always poor . Her parents didn't love her when she was childhood. But her brother,Al was very rich. The parents loved not Ellen but Al. So Ellen was envious of him. This story is very interesting. It is easy for me to read the story.In the last chapter she thought she could get Al's fortune. But she has taken serious mistake. This part is very important to understand this story.

      This story is about Ellen and her brother Al.Their parents gave Al everything,and Ellen not.In addition Al begins a rock band and release records.Then he is rich but he gave Ellen nothing.So she makes plan to kill him.This story is so terrible.Ellen was blinded by money. But I strongly think that money isn't most important thing and brother-ship is more important.

      Ellen Shore's family is an ordinary American family, and Ellen is six years old when her brother Al is born. She is not happy because her parents think that a son is more important than a daughter. So, she begins to hate him. It is natural that she hates him.
