This tried to tackle too many topics at once. Unfortunately none of it was believable.
Ich habe es bereits zweimal gelesen, weil ich es wirklich sehr gut finde. Ich mag den Schreibstil und ich finde die Geschichte äußerst spannend. Es ist recht kurz, sodass man das Buch schnell durch hat.

Da das Buch nur knapp 180 Seiten hat, liest man es sehr schnell weg und ich habe es immer auf dem Weg zur Schule und in der Bahn gelesen. Das Buch handelt von einem Amoklauf in einer Schule und die Thematik hatte mich Anfangs sehr fasziniert und neugierig gemacht, jedoch war die Geschichte nicht ganz wie ich sie erwartet hatte. Klar, es war schon spannend, aber ich finde, dass man das Buch jetzt nicht gelesen haben MUSS und ein zweites Mal werde ich das Buch auch nicht lesen. Es bekommt von mir 3 von 5 Sternen, da es mich schon unterhalten konnte.

"Was wir dachten, was wir taten" is about a person with a gun entering a classroom but it is not necessarily about a shooting and fortunately not as violent as I was expecting. It is set in Germany and maybe that is why it does not massively discuss gun laws or how the person could walk into a school with a weapon in the first place.
There is a version of this book that can be discussed in a German class in school and I get why you would choose it for that context. There is a lot to discuss about teenage dreams and what drives a person to such drastic measures. In my opinion, the motive of the shooter still remains too uncertain in the end.
The writing style felt a bit bland and at times you could feel that there is an adult writing teenager thoughts.
Overall, while this book is the opposite of a feelgood book, it is still a quick read but it wasn't as impactful as I expected it to be.
