5.0

A fast paced thriller set over the course of three Hours. The book follows the police, students, teachers & parents of an isolated school under siege. I was gripped from the start! The characters are well developed despite the book switching to different charcters frequently. The innocence and humanity of the children characterised in the book highlights the drastic contrast something as inhuman as a school shooting is. The subject is well researched addressing a multitude of difficult topics which can be hard to read at times. There were a few twists and turns in this novel - some expected and some not. Overall, an atmospheric emotive book.
"A novel that you live rather than merely read"
