Killers of the Flower Moon: Adapted for Young Adults: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI

The book was a good read, but very difficult to understand how some people in this world can think of themselves as superior when they can be so cruel to an other living creature. I had not heard of the Osage natives before this book was written, and I can’t understand some white people feel it’s their right to take what other people have, even kill for it. It was a very dark time in history. Sadly , there is still much prejudice towards other nationalities, even today.

This was a really engaging read. It had lots of facts, but not dry. And when referencing someone who had already been mentioned earlier, the author was good about adding identifying information to remind the reader who this person is.I didn't realize until almost all the waynthrough that this is the young readers' version. The author does not seem to "dumb down" the information for the younger reader, and I am interested in contrasting this to the original.

Treatment of Indian tribe very racist -but story showed that there was some good Americans interested in using the law to find the killers.

I watched the movie first and found that I couldn’t follow some parts so I bought the book to get more details. Glad I got more background to the Osage nation tragedy and the formation of the FBI.

Even though it is adapted for young readers, I found the book to be very eye-opening and extremely hard to stop reading.
