Sweeney Todd Thoughts So Far
So far i think this books probly best One Read
Sweeney Todd Chapters 1-5
This chapter started introducing “The Sweeney Todd barber” and his liking to criminal actions. The chapter was also about what length the author has gone to find out more about the Sweeney Todd Barber and why he was interested in the tale so much.
Sweeney Todd the notorious Demon barber famous phrase “I polish ‘em off’ one quotes found by the author of the book. This chapter quoted a lot of information from other authors and their views also quotes from previous research on the Sweeney Todd. The chapter also went on describing briefly how he used to trap and kill his victims by using a revolving chair.
This was an interesting chapter to read as the author went on saying who might be the Sweeney Todd. What I found quiet intriguing to read was that there were several other barbershop killers, who committed several similar crimes, must have been scary to go to the barbers back then.
Chapter 4
This chapter was about the growing up of the Sweeney Todd and the type of environment he grew up in, which might of lead to him to have such hatred. The chapter then went on talking about how he ended up in prison after his parents had died.

This chapter was about the life which the Sweeney Todd lived while he was at prison and the things that he saw which lead for him to be more disturbed. The chapter also briefly talked about how his career of a barber started while he was at prison.
