The last book by Jodi Picoult that I read is the one that I had been looking forward to the most to read. As a criminology graduate the content of this book is right up my street. Reading this book highlighted many of the devastating issues from the Columbine shooting that was so shocking.
Picoult allows us to read an almost behind the scenes look at the mind of the murder of her imaginary school shooting.
Lacy Houghton, a midwife is devastated when her world falls apart after finding out her son has entered his school and murdered ten pupils. As the story unfolds the terrible bullying that he endured and experience he has at school begins to shed light on the terrible situation facing some high school pupils.
It was another book that I found hard to put down, and although she did not by any means justify the murders of the pupils another view point is given as to why these things happen. Perhaps facing these may make us more vigilant of the signs in the future in real life.
8/10
