This is Where it Ends

Told over the span of 54 harrowing minutes from four different perspectives, terror reigns as one student's calculated revenge turns into the ultimate game of survival.

Review:

This is where it ends is told by 4 different view points, the shooters sister-Autum, her girlfriend Sylv, a senoir track and JROTC star Claire, and Sylv's brother Tomas.

In the biginning this book was very hard to follow, I could not figure out who was who's sister and brother or girlfriend. The names where also confusing and then having Sylv and Tomas speak english and spanish was a little difficult to follow as well. Then we have flash backs leading up to the shooting, this was ok but could have been played out a little better than they where.

The book would have been a better read if it had focused only on the school shooting and the shooter and not the stories of the kids who drove him to do this. All we get out of him is that he was abused, lost his girlfriend and didn't like that his sister was a lesbian.

I would like to know the authors thoughts on this book, was she reaching out to abused kids, or bullying in schools which often leads to shootings like this one? What really kind of got to me was how it took so long for the police to get to the school...39 dead and the police barely got there in time, Tomas had to die, then Claires small handicap brother was shot and killed as well. I did like the details and the fear the author had in the book. I also found myself crying at some points and gasping at others.

It's a book that should not be missed. one that will leave you thinking about the danger of bullying and school shootings.

I recommend this book and give it 5 stars to all my followers to read it with an open mind. it will take a few minutes to get into the book but then it will get better.
