I wouldn't say I liked this book, but it was a quick read about serious problems affecting public schools across America. Considering my high school experience isn't as traumatic as the ones portrayed in this book, I am amazed at the horrible things that go on in other schools.

I wouldn't read this again, but I'm sure that the story will stay with me for a long time.

Ok. I loved this book. Everyone should read it. Even if it is a bit scary...its still good. And I liked all the facts in it XD

4.5 Important and gripping. I read a few reviews that felt the stats pulled them out of the story but I felt the opposite. I felt the characters descent could have been explored more but if it’s based on Klebold and Harris as it hints to be then I guess it’s accurate based on what we know. Quotes were pretty shocking from gun company owners epically.

This wasn't a "bad" story, just not my thing...thus, only 2 stars.

I really enjoyed this book. At first I wasn't a fan of the way it was written but by the end I really enjoyed how the story was pieced together and told through all the different perspectives. As someone who is going to school to be a teacher, this book really hits home on the current issues within schools even though it was written more than a decade ago. It's sad to think that the issues haven't been resolved, but honestly I don't think there is any good plan of action that will encompass all schools. The issue of bullying has to be resolved in each school differently.....

I didn’t like the style of this book, written in quotes and testimonials. It allowed me to read through it quickly but it’s not my favorite type of story telling.
