Brown's "Hate List" immediately drew my attention with it's premise: the concept of a school shooting basing its victims upon a "hate list" started by the shooter and his girlfriend. I knew it was going to be a grim story, but I hadn't braced myself for the beauty it would unveil between its pages.T...

4.5Me duele la nariz de tanto llorar. Soy incapaz de describir lo mucho que me ha llegado este libro, no sólo por la triste realidad que describe, si no porque la autora crea escenas realmente duras. No es un libro con mucha acción, ni giros inesperados. Ni siquiera tiene un final cerrado. Pero por ...

What to say about this book? It got me emotional. It touched me.It was, indeed, a very personal read. I myself suffered bullying and I know exactly how it feels. I know exactly how it hurts. I know exactly how my mind started being a real, serious mess after everything I had to go through. Children ...

A beautifully written story of a tragic event, the aftermath, and the healing process of a community.- This novel really puts things in perspective. I felt like the concept of hate and how easily we throw the word around was dealt with very well and powerfully.- The characters were so realistic. It ...

What a disappointing book. GAH. I'm so mad.Whiny heroine, whiny parents, whiny brother, whiny friends. I just can't stand it. And why is she trying to force the idea that Nick was still a good guy even if he shot and killed several people? Don't fucking make excuses for him. Ugh. I mean seriously, t...

Such a powerful theme, tragic and delicate. A shooting in a school. By one of the student. Narrated by the girlfriend.Nicholas and Valeria are an outcast couple. They are bullied, misunderstood by a lot of people, with family problems. They are angry, especially Nick. So they created this 'Hate List...

I finished this book in a little under 24 hours and I was tired, sad, happy, emotionally drained, and reeling all at the same time. I’m not kidding – I took a 3 hour nap that evening. Between that nap and staying up to the most ridiculous hours to read this book my Sunday night/Monday morning slumbe...

"We do know that it's possible to change reality. It's hard, and most people won't bother to try, but it's possible."Words fail me and my thought process goes out of whack when it comes to books like the Hate List. Soooo... I guess I'll just type what first comes to mind. But I doubt any of my words...
