So I generally reserve 5 star reviews for a both that was both excellent *and* I'm likely to want to reread. In this case, it's not necessarily that I'm likely to pull this down off the shelf over and over again, but that it was a truly remarkable book. Told in 17 points of view, this is the story...
An uneven collection of stories detailing the events leading to a school shooting and exploring the psychology behind the shooter, Kirby Matheson. Unfortunately, the least successful of the bunch (including one from the perspective of the gun itself as it opines about purpose and morality while maki...
Painfully powerful. Disturbing in all the right ways, this story is so raw, so real, that you will either devour it or throw it away in a fit of sobs. Want to know what this book is about? Think Columbine. Think Umpqua Community College. Told from 17 points of view, this book is an enthralling acco...
Incredibly powerful storytelling with a consistent tone despite the 18 different authors. One of the best contemporary books I've ever read, and highly recommended.

Then I read the blurb and I was very much in love with the thought of this book. When I finished it thoug...

In fact, there are so many wrecks that you won't be able to stop reading."Pieces of us" is certainly dark, disturbing and filled with heartache. There are so many problems and broken people tha...
I got to about page 24 before I put this book down for good. All of the characters are boring, nothing exciting happens, and I can't stand the writing style. There really isn't anything I like about this book that could have kept me reading.
