I never would have even considered reading this book until I was told it would be incredibly difficult to obtain a copy, naturally this peaked my interest. The description I was provided was pretty vague of a “school shooting” scenario. After reading the book, I’d say that portion of the plot was not the main story line at all. It was an interesting read - perhaps a controversial opinion: I found it more to be Catcher in the Rye (never happy middle class kid) meets Lord of the Flies with excessive violence sprinkled in.
