Citrus County by John Brandon
1.0
I rarely give a book a one star rating because I rarely finish those books. This I was forced to finish in order to turn in an assignment on time. I found this book deeply disturbing. A lot like walking into Columbine in the head of the gunman. It just felt like a train wreck and the resolution was very unsatisfying.
Toby and Shelby are two teens whose lives seem to be revolving around a disaster course. Toby is a hardened delinquent who plans and commits a horrifying crime. Shelby is a teenage girl who falls for Toby and is affected by this crime. This story also revolves around characters such as Mr. Hibma, an angry geography teacher who is trying to find his own place in the world, whether good or bad.
Citrus County is a nominee for the 2011 Alex Award. It is a suspense story, which focuses on providing points of view from different characters. This is a book best handled by the oldest young adult readers.
