Revolver Questions

Bring on the tough stuff - there’s not just one right answer.

  1. What's the deal with the title, Revolver? Does the revolver save or harm Sig? How are guns a point of conflict in Sig's house? Do you agree with Einar or Nadya about guns?
  2. Is there a hidden treasure? Why has his dad kept it a secret all these years? Should Wolff get half of the gold?
  3. Why is Sig always remembering sayings his dad said, like "dead men tell stories"? What do those sayings mean now that his dad is gone?
  4. Do you think Sig should spend the money from the gold he stole? Why or why not? Is Nadya right that it doesn't belong to them?
  5. How would the story be different if it was told chronologically? Why do you think the author might choose to tell it through flashbacks to ten years earlier?
  6. Sig starts out thinking his dad is honest and Wolff is a bad guy. Does this change at all?
