Gå med i LibraryThing för att få reda på om du skulle tycka om den här boken. Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. Fast paced; I read this in a day. Enjoyed the different viewpoints and the unveiling of their different flaws and similarities. Found the drama very low key considering it was about a school shooting; didn't feel a sense of urgency or danger from the writing. All in all enjoyable. ( ) A powerful, gripping book about a group of students in the middle of a school shooting. The author deftly handles multiple viewpoints and brings to light issues of parental pressure, loss, responsibility, and more. And I think it's a testament to her characterization that the most page-turning part of the book is the characters themselves. I mean, for most of the book, the characters are barricaded in a school bathroom with much of the action going on external to them... and that just ramps up the sense of claustrophobia and interpersonal conflict. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
A lockdown catches five grade 12 students by surprise and throws them together in the only unlocked room on that empty third floor wing- the boys' washroom. They sit in silence, judging each other by what they see, by the stories they've heard over the years. Stuck here with them-could anything be worse? There's Alice- an introverted writer, trapped in the role of big sister to her older autistic brother, Noah. Isabelle- the popular, high-achieving, student council president, whose greatest performance is her everyday life. Hogan- an ex-football player with a troubled past and a hopeless future. Xander- that socially awkward guy hiding behind the camera, whose candid pictures of school life, especially those of Isabelle, have brought him more trouble than answers. Told in five unique voices through prose, poetry, text messages, journals and homework assignments, this modern-day Breakfast Clubtakes a twist when Isabelle gets a text that changes everything- NOT A DRILL!! Shooter in the school! Suddenly, the bathroom doesn't seem so safe anymore. Especially when they learn that one of them knows more about the shooter than they realized . . .
