What I Did Like:
-The various authors here each take a character affected by that day. They do an AMAZING job. In my opinion every one of these stories is well written. If I had to individually rate them they rank from a 3.5 to a 4.5 star rating, which means they’re very close in quality. It paints a picture of the event when you view them as a whole, but they tell 17 very different stories.
-This doesn’t look at that day. I loved that. The puzzle of putting together a clear picture of the shooter as well as how these characters all related made this a book you had to focus on and THINK through. Very smart writing.
-Powerful. This book connects people by single events. It shows that we all have threads of other people connecting us and moving through us.
Who Should Read This One:
-Readers who can handle dark subject matter and want to view a tough topic through different lenses will like this one.
-Readers who like stories where characters are being forced to analyze their relationships and decisions after a dark event will like this one.
My Rating: 4 Stars. This one was a brilliant collection of stories by a group of talented writers. It will definitely appeal to readers who are intrigued by the subject matter.
