Wow, oh wow. This book is intense, but oh so necessary to read. I personally didn’t know anything about the shooting at Kent State in 1970 so this was thought provoking and informative. I especially liked the multiple narrators in the audiobook which helped me to follow along with the different perspectives that are woven together to tell the story.

I really enjoyed the premise of this book and liked the way the book was intriguing all the way through.
The use of different perspectives that were introduced significantly into the book seemed like a strange shift by that late in the narrative.
