Wow, what a great but tragic story. A boy who is picked on from the first day of kindergarden until high school. What being bullied really does to a child day after day. The tragedy of Columbine and all the other schools rolled into this story. It made me feel such pity for the boy who felt he had no other way out and took matters into his own hands. The results were tragic, the outcome for all shattered lives but it makes you think of what kids go through. I know I thought of my own now grown children who were treated in a similar manner. The best of Jodi Picoults books in my opinion
