Helpful Score: 1

Jodi Picoult does it again. Touching on subjects that are difficult from any side, Jodi Picoult takes on school shootings - from all perspectives. And does a great job, too. I read some reviews that were angry at her for "taking a shooter's side" but I didn't get the impression at all that this was her take on the issue - I did understand that she was trying to answer the one question everyone asks when such a tragedy occurs: WHY? I loved it, it was difficult at times to read about children being killed, but at the same time it was very eye-opening to realize that this is what is happening at our children's schools and social situations, and I really recommend it to anyone who has school age children or has been bullied or even just likes a good read. A+
