Give a Boy a Gun Audiobook

" I had to read this for one of my teaching classes and it really got to me. "

" I read this book in a couple hours. Very moving story about high school violence. The author does a great job of creating believable raw emotions. Also, the author puts true facts in the footnotes of almost every page. It becomes a frightening tale not because of the two main characters plot to kill those who do them harm, but of what little is done by teachers and administration to help the two suffering students. The story is told in an interview type style. "

" Although this may not be the "best written" book, I think every Middle Schooler, High Schooler, teacher, parent, and concerned adult should read it! This is not an easy book to read. It is very short, unusually written (in flashbacks using parts of letters, texts, and interviws) and it pertains to topics REAL in the lives of teens and teachers every day. This is a book that demands discussion and hopefully, change in behavior of all who read it. "

" This book was a very great and informative book. I learned many interesting facts about guns, suicide, and topics related to shootings. It was also a very touching story about kids that got tormented their whole life. What I loved about this book was that incorporated a story and a lot of facts. I would recommend this book to anyone who thinks they can handle it because it is very tough to read at times. "

" I read that will make you never want to hold gun even a nerf... it was amazing "

" One of my favorite books!!! "

" it was.. okay.. i found myself routeing for the Gary and Brendan... "

" I read this book in one seating, actually one walking because I was on the treadmill. It is a devastating plot, but one we cannot look away from. High school students would definitely give this book a 5 star rating. "

" This was an insightful book that made us see exactly what it is that drives some students to start violence at school. I'd say it would be best to have every student read this book in order to be more aware of the Domino/Butterfly Effect students' actions have on a person. "

" I can't really say much except that this book was amazing. I mean it really helps you see that tauanting a young teen can lead to a horrible ending. "

" i thought that this book was really sad. this boys are made fun of by a lot of people there high school lives so they snap. And they snap hard tnot only do they want to throw away away their lives but the lives of the other kids that made their lives a living hell. "

" An interesting but disturbing look at why school shootings happen. Made me paranoid, with not a lot of hope in our society. But there is a lot to learn, as well. "

" this book was kind of sad but okey i recommend it "

" Not an enjoyable read--I had the feeling of dread in my stomach the entire time. "

" A very well-written (and well-rounded) account of a fictional school shooting. It has a few unexpected twists, and I think the author did a good job seeing into the minds of a community upset by violence. "

" Probably very timely when it came out. I didn't love it. Did enjoy the audio version and the character voices. "

" Not my kind of book! "

" I realy like the book i think its funny when they say bad words or when they plan there plan to kill students. I think everybody should read is "

" i think this book was awesome. it was the best book i have ever read in my life. "

" This book is about two teenage boys that struggle in high school wit kids always making fun of them and bullying them. then they get a hold of a gun and keep the school hostage at the prom. this book is very interesting. "

" This book is really good. I recommend it to every one. "

" GREAT BOOK!! people need to know the effects of Gun in Youth and the world. "

" I expected a little more in depth of the two criminals. I wanted to know more about what they were feeling rather than what everyone else thought they were or just saw how they acted. "

" this book has some pretty harsh things in it. it has lots of conflict and is about bullying. its about jocks picking on 2 kids for years. physically and verbally. which cause both of them to go on a shooting rampage in their school in search of revenge. "

" I am on the edge about this book. I liked it, but it was a little confuzing yet unique. I liked it, but I would not read it again. Maybe once more... "

" Didn't really hold me. Characters all sound pretty much the same. Footnotes are out of date (hardly the book's fault; I'm sure they were current on publication 12 years ago). I can see some teens being really grabbed by this, but it's not what I'm looking for right now. "

" Looking to share this book with my students as a book choice after we read THE CHOCOLATE WAR. "

" The only good part of this book was the statistical information given on guns. "

" It been a year and some and I still haven't gave the library back the book.This book makes you rethink about how you approach someone and bulling. Also aboutthe reaction. This book will teach you a lesson "
