A tragic school shooting told in minute-by-minute
detail with four different personal accounts. However, the novel was much more
plot-based than character-based and I wanted to “feel” more from of the
characters. There were also a lot of characters, even though only four students
told the story. This made it a little hard to keep the characters and their
relationships straight. However, I loved the time stamped chapters and
fast-paced motion of the story. It made the story more realistic and the reader
feel that they are actually experiencing the horrific events of a school
shooting. I believe this is the author’s intent of writing such a story. She
tells a very important story.
