The Destructors

I thought that this story was a good length and pretty interesting so it wasn't hard to follow. A few questions that came up while I was reading was how old are the boys in the gang. They have to be at least teenagers because the crime that they committed was pretty large. I also questioned the motives behind the gang members. They destroyed Old Misery's house for no specific reason. Trevor was trying to prove himself to the gang but I feel that he could've done it in a different way. I felt so sorry for the old man because that house meant something special to him, and the gang members destroyed it for no real reason. I also feel that they took the destruction a little too far, considering the fact that they demolished the house to pieces, literally. When Old Misery saw his house fall to pieces, he was in complete shock. Anyone passing by on the street would find humor in it, just like the driver that let Old Misery out of the loo. Overall I thought that this story was fairly commercial because it was pretty enjoyable to read and wasn't a complete literary masterpiece.
