Chronicle Conducive To Books Violent Ends

In a one-of-a-kind collaboration, seventeen of the most recognizable YA writers—including Shaun David Hutchinson, Neal and Brendan Shusterman, and Beth Revis—come together to share the viewpoints of a group of students affected by a school shooting.

It took only twenty-two minutes for Kirby Matheson to exit his car, march onto the school grounds, enter the gymnasium, and open fire, killing six and injuring five others.

But this isn’t a story about the shooting itself. This isn’t about recounting that one unforgettable day.

This is about one boy—who had friends, enjoyed reading, playing saxophone in the band, and had never been in trouble before—became a monster capable of entering his school with a loaded gun and firing bullets at his classmates.

Each chapter is told from a different victim’s viewpoint, giving insight into who Kirby was and who he’d become. Some are sweet, some are dark; some are seemingly unrelated, about fights or first kisses or late-night parties. This is a book told from multiple perspectives—with one character and one event drawing them all together—by some of YA’s most recognizable names.

Yeah, no.I like short stories. I do. I really enjoy them, so this one where all the short stories are part of a larger story sounded really awesome to me. But, then I started reading it. And, I had a gut feeling that it wasn't going to work for me. Seventeen unique voices, seventeen unique writing styles, seventeen different -- as the book advertises it -- points of view. I read the first two, then I tried the third one and put the book down.Now, I'm sure it will appeal to some people. I'm just

3.17 out of 5 starsThe world is so different than it once was back then, and Im not so sure thats a good thing. Fifty some odd years ago, school shootings were basically non-existent. Nobody had to worry about sending their children off to school and teachers never had to worry about going to their jobs either. Schools were the untouchable places where evil ceased to exist.Nowadays, it seems theres a school shooting every week. All the stories in this book are interconnected to the same event;

There were way too many POVs in this book. On top of that, the writing styles varied too much from author to author which made each piece less connected to the rest. I can see why some people found this profound and impactful but for me, the stylistic differences and how it came together lacked a lot and ended in an unsatisfying final product.

Anytime I read a book that deals with the situation that takes place in the book it is difficult. The way the authors did this with so many different point of views made it such a unique read. They way they showed things from Kirby's past as far back as middle school that could have contributed to his state of mind. To do what he did is inexcusable but I think people need to take a look at what happens to these children early on in there life. He was bullied from the age of 9 and put down and

I am seriously excited to be a part of this collection of stories.

As a teacher, this book made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck more than once. The thought of something like this happening at my school is the stuff of my nightmares. But I admit to being curious about books like these - and I'm fascinated by books written by groups of authors. (I can only imagine the collaboration necessary to pull this book off.) Each chapter is written by a different author from a different perspective about the boy responsible for the school shooting. As you would
