The two stories of an American girl Sarah and an Indonesian boy Ruslan were intertwined throughout the story providing different perspectives of the same natural disaster. THE KILLING SEA was a great book that kept the reader engaged from beginning to end. Has living in Indonesia helped youre writing at all? and if so to what extent? Were you trying to promote tolerance between eastern and western cultures. I know that the book is about the 2004 Tsuanmi, were there other outside influences in the book other than the tsuanmi. I do not know if you were in Indonesia during the 2004 Kuta Beach night club attack. I know from research the dominat religion in Indonesia is Islam. Is the book popular in Indonesia? and to what extent is the book known around the world? I like how in the book you seem to promote a Eastern, Western culture acceptance. I wish I had a book like this growing up. I felt I could instantly relate to you because I feel like Surfers are kind of differnt group and we are all kind of on the same page due to our experiences in the water. I am also a surfer, I went to elementary, and High Scool on Oahu. I read the book The Killing Sea recently as part of the reading requirment for Childrens Literature a class at Salisbury University.
