A compelling book that you don't want to put down, this tells the story of a school shooting that examines the emotions, reactions and thinking of the shooter, the students, the mother of the shooter, the mother of a surviving student, and the detective examining the case. The kind of bullying/harassment that happens in today's schools is depicted and was quite an eye-opener for this reader. It is not a "fun" read due to the topic, but it does grab you.
