This book is absolutely devastating. And absolutely necessary. Chapter 52 should carry a huge trigger warning, though. My God. My. God. I‘m nauseous.
Listening to it was awful. It cannot compare to horror those who have had to suffer through these shootings have experienced, but…Jesus.
I don‘t know why I‘m doing this to myself. Maybe I see listening to this book a way to pay my respects. Maybe it‘s to try to make sense of this crazy world we live in—-of this even crazier country where we do nothing to stop these tragedies even though the solution is staring us right in the face. How many more? How. Many. More?!
I read this many years ago! Very good!

pickHard subject matter but such a good & important book. I was a senior in college when Columbine happened & I remember the media coverage. I remember sitting in horror & watching it all unfold. Cullen was there from day 1 watching, reacting, trying to understand & then reporting on what was happening. He‘s dedicated his career to reporting about the horrors of school shootings that are way too common place in America. He‘s thoroughly investigated
1. Huge Wally Lamb fan, when this book came out I made a big show of buying the hard cover from a book store and saved it to be my first book January 1 and by gosh, I couldn‘t tell you what it was even about but I HATED it and donated it with disdain as soon I finished.
2. Hmmm, nothing comes to mind but Outlander doesn‘t interest me after reading one years ago.

pickWhilst going through my read books list on Goodreads I realised I had missed these two books!
I loved both. The tagged book was obviously devastating, every mothers worst nightmare! I spent the whole book shaking my head in disbelief.
These precious days were essays on life, love and death. I enjoyed them all!
pickThis book was recommended to me by my English teacher, and I love it. This book was so good! I can‘t even imagine how someone could write this! The amount of research the author must have done is insane, and the way it was written gave me goosebumps!
This book is so terrifyingly beautiful that I am at a loss of words.
I wish I could give more stars, but 🤷🏻♀️
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
