    Fictional tale that's born from a terrifying reality
  

*by Z***D on Reviewed in India on 27 May 2021*

I couldn't read more than a few chapters at a time. This book was hard hitting and gut wrenching and soul crushing. It takes you through a school shooting through the POVs of 4 different students and it's like you're there with them - afraid for you own life and for the ones you love and the ones you don't even know. You see the massacre and the students die, shot for no reason other than the extreme psychological collapse of a very disturbed teen who wants to extract revenge against all those who he sees as his enemies. Through the book, I found myself obviously rooting for the 4 main protagonists but I also found myself praying that all the other kids and teachers made it to safety. I felt my heart break a little every time a small side character with no name was shot. I found myself counting the number of times he shot his gun and wondering just how many bullets he had left over and how many magazines he had carried with him.This book is too close to reality and it makes you really think about the gun violence and shootings that have become the norm in America. It makes you angry. Angry with the parents who hit their children, angry with students who bully others, angry that troubled kids don't get the help they need, and angry with the laws that allow anybody to buy a gun from a shop as easily as they could buy gum. At some point, you can't continue reading anymore. It's a sad world we live in when books like this hit home and hit hard and you know that these things happen more times than we even know.

    Not for me
  

*by B***D on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 January 2017*

This had the potential to be a lot better than it actually was.What I was hoping for: dark, reality-fiction that socked me to the stomach with flawed characters I could really root for.What I got: a kind of navel-gazey story about brothers and sisters.I think I’m going to stop reading high-school-shooting books. I guess I’m never going to be able to get behind a book that treats the ownership of guns as something, like, completely normal. Because, for me, it’s not normal to have a gun in your house! I would be freaked out if I ever ended up within a hundred metre radius of a gun. It’s a gun! A metal tube that shoots bullets and is designed to kill stuff! They use them in wars! It’s like keeping an IED in your back garden!I had the same thing with Hate List. It weirds me out when books treat something like a high school shooting as ‘something that happens’. I mean, I realise they DO happen in America, and they should absolutely be written about, in the same way that rape and abuse are written about, but I will never get my head around the tone this book (and others) use. Characters weren’t shocked or freaked out that a guy had brought a gun into school and had started killing people. They were terrified, yes. But not shocked.Because, well ... yes. If you live in a society where you can literally go into a supermarket and buy A GUN, then you will also find yourself living in a society where crazy people use those guns to kill other people.Christ knows, Britain is no Utopia - we’re finding plenty of ways to screw up our own country, thanks very much - but I don’t think Americans (particularly American authors and publishers) realise how weird it sounds.Going into a supermarket. And buying a gun.So, no. No more high-school-shooting books for me.As for the rest of the book, I didn’t really feel it lived up to my hopes. The characters were bland. I didn’t really manage to get behind them and ultimately I didn’t really care if they got bumped off or not. The lesbian couple, who I had great hopes for, were so tepid it just made me roll my eyes. The track star and her friend/love interest were included for no good reason I could see. There was an interesting delve into the dynamics of family relationships, specifically into the relationships between brothers and sisters, but it needed some interesting characters to bring it to life.The plot was dull. The kids in the auditorium just sat there while the mad guy picked them off, one by one. There were no mad escape attempts, no tension (astonishingly, for a book about a mass-murder).And that ending was cringingly cheesey.I’ve read a couple of reviews that say this book is too scary for younger readers. I wouldn’t necessarily agree. High school shootings do happen and I do think it’s right that it gets written about. But with this book, I’d have more concerns about younger teens slipping into a Boredom Coma than being kept up at night, sleepless and terrified.

    Overambitious  effort by an author of limited talent
  

*by A***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 June 2021*

First the plus - the author is not devoid of talent and her writing style is not horrible.  I can imagine her writing a fairly decent navel-gazing teen romance.  However her style does not lend itself to the kind of thriller this purports to be.  There are way too many POVs, all of which are virtually distinguishable (I had to keep flipping back to find out which character was narrating)- none of the characters are well developed and it's hard to care about any of them.  The whole Clare storyline needs to be cut I got tired of her endless self-absorption and she seemed an unlikely girlfriend for Tyler.  One set of people working to rescue those trapped in the auditorium would be sufficient.  Not even Tyler the shooter is given any depth, I really had very little idea what kind of statement he was trying to make and I found it hard to care about victims either, as they tend to be introduced only to be executed seconds later.  The pacing absolutely horrible - the author really can't write action scenes - the shooter can hardly pull the trigger within the narrative shifting to a flashback of some utterly generic teen drama which destroys all possible tension.  There is no real sense of this being a life and death situation -( one character een takes the chance to make a date with a girl he likes while rescuing hostages!)  The time taken for a response by emergency services is completely unbelievable given - as one character notes - the number of people with cellphones who can call 911) and I didn't believe for one second that Tyler would fail to notice the noise of people breaking into the auditorium or far that matter that people had started to sneak out.  The author needs a few writing classes before attempting to write anything else - she has way way too many characters/subplots/flashbacks none of wh ich are remotely original or interesting and they needed to be culled - after the first few chapters I was rooting for the shooter.  Seriously not worth what I paid for it a another overrated novel hyped to the skies by unscrupulous publishers.
