This is a story that has me questioning mental health. It starts with a man in jail and him thinking about the mass shooting he had just completed. Then the story flashes back a few years. The first third/ almost half of the book was the main character working a job and doing daily routine stuff that really isn't pertinent to the plot. And the kid is going to college to be a head shrinker. He gets a bright idea to make a huge impact on society with a message. I really feel like this one could have been much shorter. The last third of the story was the best..

I can relate...to a point
This book was interesting and I did enjoy it. I can relate to the character (up to a point, obviously) in that I have a background in psychology, but was never able to find a job in that field and was rarely happy or able to advance in any of them. I eventually had to go on disability. But never in all my life did I contemplate doing what he did. Is he insane? You’ll have to see.
The only real complaint I have is that the storyline seemed, for lack of a better word, clipped. It had the sense of diary entries rather than a full flowing storyline.
Using his experience with the Aurora massacre and his own similar employment experience in writing this book, the author really created something relevant to what we’re experiencing in today’s society. I look forward to the next two books.
