Dolly Parton's Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Outfit For NFL Halftime Show Caused Everyone To Lose Their Minds: “Dolly Parton Just Won Thanksgiving”

Although this book is a very reverent and timely one, it fell a little flat for me. This book is told from the perspectives of four of the characters (Claire, Tomas, Sylvia, Autumn) in this book, spanning a 54-minute period after shots ring out at their school. Stream It Or Skip It: ‘Master Gardener’ on Hulu, Another Subtly Sinister Drama From Master Storyteller Paul Schrader What I think would have really made this book great is if it had not only focused on the 4 MCs, but also the shooter. There is some musing on the nature of his evil, but I felt like it was underdeveloped. There was a great opportunity there to consider how a teenager could turn into this evil monster that comes to murder his peers in cold blood. I love when books explore that uncomfortable notion that the division between good and evil is not so stark, and here was an opportunity to do so in a realistic, and unfortunately plausible, setting. I have to say that it seems when I was finished that I really seem to be in the minority on this book but unfortunately I just didn’t end up liking it much at all. My biggest problem started off when I just didn’t really care or connect to either Ella or Molly although I will say I liked Molly a bit more. But with not really connecting to either main character it just seemed to make everything that came after drag at a snail’s pace and I found it easy to put this one to the side which is rare for me.North West Roasts Kim Kardashian's Ex-Boyfriend Pete Davidson: "You're Going To The Met Gala, Pete, Not The Gas Station" I am at a loss for words with this novel. It literally took me three hours to read, because it was so gripping and suspenseful, I did not want to stop reading it, not even once. When I read its little synopsis, it looked promising but when I started reading it I struggled to make my way through it. I just wanted to finish and get over with it. The plot kept me going through the book, as the story had such tension to it. I was constantly wondering what would happen and if the 4 MCs we follow would survive. The focus on time helped to build this sense of foreboding as well. The plot was slightly unrealistic at times. I felt like the students were acting uncharacteristically considering what they were facing. It also didn't help that the writing made it very confusing trying to follow the movement of students in the small space they occupied. Look this is classically good writing right? There are a plethora of brilliant crime and thriller writers around, using language in many different ways to entertain us, but there a few, those very few that just have that depth of emotion, that literary twist to the way they do things, that thing

Finally, I'm no Nicholas Sparks fan who wants every story tied up in a nice little bow, but the ending was a real drag. I saw it coming a mile away, for one thing, and the way Addie treated herself caused me to lose respect for her. The best that could do for readers is remind them of how important it is to pay attention to symptoms, but I was looking for a good read, not a depressing medical lesson. N'Duka, Amanad (September 8, 2017). "Camille Guaty Joins 'Nappily Ever After'; 'Boy Erased' Adds Madelyn Cline; Mark O'Brien Cast In 'How It Ends' ". Deadline Hollywood. Penske Business Media. Archived from the original on September 9, 2017 . Retrieved January 25, 2017. This is a classic case of a book having SO much potential but just barely scraping the surface on its subject matter. I had such high hopes for this story. The subject matter, focusing on a school shooting, is definitely topical and important. I was expecting an astonishingly powerful story that would fuel important conversations regarding gun control in the USA. While I'm sure this book will start conversations, as the topic has never been broach in YA before, at least not to my knowledge, I don't believe it has the far reaching qualities I had hoped. It had the opportunity to explore so many questions that come inevitably following a tragedy such as a school shooting, but it let those questions remain unanswered.Claire and Chris run away from the school, hoping to reach a gas station and call the police. Claire is worried about her younger brother, Matt, who is inside the auditorium. She also feels guilty that, although she was Tyler’s girlfriend, she never anticipated his actions, even though she saw him becoming more and more angry. She even witnessed him threaten Sylvia at a school dance, an event which precipitated their breakup, but didn’t tell anyone about it. However, Chris comforts her and reminds her that she doesn’t have any responsibility for Tyler’s actions. This is probably the point where people are saying "Okay, Rose. You have some explaining to do, because this actually sounds like a good book."
