Book Review of The Hour I First Believed

The Hour I First Believed
getinmybellykelly avatar reviewed on


Honestly, I went into reading this book thinking that it was going to be just about Columbine and the aftermath. That's the truth of about the first half. After that, although it still involves the same main characters, it goes off on quite a tangent. In the end, things really do come together and you realize how all of the stories are interconnected, but it took a good chunk of reading to get there. The book dragged for me quite a bit in the middle because it turns into sort of historical fiction at times but I thought the ending was really beautiful. All in all, I think it could have been a bit shorter but is worth reading if you can handle long books. :)
