Things I learned from Harpers Island

1. Don't adopt a little boy, he'll resent it and become a murderer
2. Apparently siblings aren't off limits when it comes to lovin'
3. While I love children I apparently don't love ALL children because I wanted to kick the crap out of Madison.
4. DON'T SPLIT UP! Seriously people
5. The black guy never makes it out alive
6. Neither does the fat guy
7. When you have the choice between a cocky jerk who looks shady or a seemingly nice guy... go with the jerk. He might not be nice but he probably won't kill you.
8. Belts do not = handcuffs
9. DON'T LIVE ON AN ISLAND!
10. Taking shooting lessons and learning how to aim is always a good idea
11. If you go down a path that you already know is blocked off, you and your girlfriend are gonna die
12. It takes a LOT of people dying before people realize there is a killer loose.
13. You can fall off cliffs on Harpers Island and be just fine but if you fall off a bridge into water you're going to die just like your fiance.
14. Sacred Turtle is the best beer you'll never get a chance to drink
15. If a person seems even remotely suspicious... don't worry their not. It's the nice one's you have to worry about.
16. Being cousin Ben sucks
17. No one whatsoever is aware of how much blood can be left in a trail before you know someone is dead.
18. No one carries extra ammo or checks their gun when they put it down and pick it up.
19. Assuming that a firearm is always loaded works....unless your life is in danger.
20. It takes about 20 people to disappear before someone decides to get a gun.
21. No one can outfight John Wakefield.
22. John Wakefield is invulnerable to the pain from being burned with a flare, shot, taxed, hit repeatedly over the head, but when stabbed in the chest from a three inch knife by his son, the emotional pain kills him.
23. The black guy doesn't always die first
24. Don't screw with Henry's wedding, you either get shot, or you take a spade to the face.
25. A boy and a girl can't be "just friends". They are a) secretly in love, b)related, or c)both
26. For unimportant murders, kill by hanging, harpooning, hacking, burning, shooting, noteholder pick, or whatever means necessary. But for the ones you truly care about- say, best friend, fiancee, true love, or father- use a tiny switchblade. It's more personal that way.
27. If you say, "If we survive this, I'm going to turn my life around", you are NOT going to survive this. Nice way to jinx yourself, Sully!
28. Thomas Wellington's insticts...aren't that bad after all
29. Wear your wedding dress when you think you're safe, because it won't be symbolic and you won't need to run or anything.
30. Propose to someone.
31. Tell the people you're with that you'll be right back. Honest.
32. Be the one to say, "It's okay, we're safe now."
33. Assume that the killer doesn't want you, so walk off in a huff.
34. Insist that John Wakefield is really dead.
35. Tell Abby that it's all about her.
