The Farming of Bones #2

This book is really boring. So far, Amabelle's boyfriend's friend, Joel, was killed by Amabelle's master. The master was on his way to see the birth of his twin children, driving in a car way too fast. He rounded a corner and hit Joel so hard the Joel flew into a ravine many feet away. Rather than stop and see if Joel was OK, the master sped on until he got to his house. Joel died instantly, but his friends and family were furious at the master, who never even took the time to see who he had hit. The master's father felt bad about it, though, and he went to Joel's funeral. This just goes to show the cruelty that a rich man in the Dominican Republic can inflict on others with no negative repercussions for himself. If a poor man had done the same to a rich man, the poor man surely would have been killed. But if a rich man commits murder, then nothing happens besides the family and friends mourning silently. But besides that, nothing really interesting has happened. The book has a lot of "pillow talk" between Amabelle and Sebastian. They talk a lot about their lives before they met each other, but its overly sappy, filled with talk of how they were destined to meet and stuff like that. I really don't know what is going to happen next; there isn't really much of a story-line, but I hope it's something that radically changes things. At some point the Haitians are supposed to be prosecuted by the Dominicans, but that hasn't happened yet. I think Se bastion and Amabelle will get separated and have to find each other again, which is bound to be predictable.
