It was interesting to find out why the kid had done it, but that still doesn't justify his actions. This book is great with the storytelling in a grave school shooting scenario. Really shows how different people can be connected in certain disasters.

I'm only on chapter five and I am captivated. Like It is so great and it holds my attention (not hard to do but hey!). The principal is giving her end-of-semester speech. When the bell rings, students start to head to their next class. But the doors are locked holding them all inside. This story is told by four characters. Three inside and one outside. It will hold your attention til' the end!

When I first started reading it, it was quite intriguing and interesting, but about halfway through it got monotonous and dragged on. I couldn't finish it. It did not keep my interest. I give it 2 1/2 stars.

this book is tragic, and amazing at the same time. It makes you want to cry and smile... and then cry some more. Told from four different views of a school shooting, its wonderful!
