Laddar... Reunionav Jeff Bennington
   Ingen/inga Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken.   ) IreneCole | Jul 27, 2022 |   ) mmoj | Mar 2, 2017 | I enjoyed the first half of the book, was intrigued by the premise and looked forward to Mr Bennington's self proclaimed efforts to commemorate those involved in high school shootings. The cast of characters was interesting and the book moved along at a pace. But then, unfortunately, in my opinion, things started to unravel. The descriptions of the horror of the shootings and the effect on those involved became clichéd. I wondered how many more times one or other of them would `quiver' or `shudder' and by the time I read the sentence, `Her eyes gave way to the brownout that preceded her loss of consciousness.', I was in two minds whether to continue reading the book. However, I persevered, trying hard to ignore all the exclamation marks, repeated use of the word `suddenly' and constant switching of point of view. In the end, I was glad I finished the book. The explanation of the phenomenon was credible, although the thoughts and feelings of the victims were described rather cloyingly. I feel Mr Bennington perhaps tried to do too much in this book by linking a high school shooting with a ghostly horror story and ended up not doing justice to either. Other readers, of course, may disagree with me. (  ) wendycartmell | Jun 8, 2014 | ) Bettyb30 | Jun 24, 2013 | ) busyreadin | Apr 27, 2013 | inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
