John Henry West

Not to be blunt, but why do you think the author killed off John Henry West?

  1. Very good question. It seemed sort of tacked on at the end. There didn't even seem to be much reaction to it. Was there a purpose to it?

    John Henry West reminded me right away of the Macaulay Culkin character in "My Girl." Kind of quiet little boy, glasses, two first names, sidekick to the tomboyish heroine. So it shouldn't have surprised me when he got sick and died.
