This thought-provoking book is certainly one to remember. I truly appreciate how the author placed both sides of the stories and didn't deviate from the victim's or the shooter's side. I felt both perspectives needed to be laid out on the table for the reader to get their own conclusion. I found it quite difficult at times, I remember going to sleep and waking up thinking about this book and wanting to finish it because I needed it to end. What made me mostly furious was the fact that this book was published in 2007, and history hasn't changed. This only means that the author was influenced by other past incidents similar to the story and I just stuck on that idea, I just couldn't believe how it fit in today's circumstances.
The author has left me with more questions than before, I mean every chapter that passed, I had another question and so many Why's. It's a difficult matter and this book should be read by everyone in this country to understand the perspectives of both sides.
