Read August 2008
I read this book rather quickly. It wasn't an easy read due to the content of the material. This was the first Jodi Picoult book that I have read. I loved the story line. Unfortunately it is very reminiscent of the story of what happen at Columbine High School.
The book revolves around a High School shooting in a small town. It gives you the point of view of many people in that town. From parents of a child who has died as a result of the shooting, to the Judge of the trial who's daughter survived the shooting. The parents of the shooter are very realistic and well written. They are heart broken for their family as well as their town.
I found the story to some what predictable, however I would have never guessed the ending. I think it is a great read.
