"I found this book to be powerful and relevant especially after the shootings at Virginia Tech. Again, Myers utilizes an alternate format for this book--vignets and dialogues of all of the parties involved in the school shooting: the acomplices, police, FBI, journal entries. Amazing and disturbing." — Michelle (4 out of 5 stars)

" This book was good in different ways because it had a lot of stories in it.Also because you wanted to keep reading it because you wanted to know what happen an everything. "
" I have to say I was not a fan of WDM at first, but I think his novels are accessible, relevant, high interest, and good primers for classic literature. While the use of literary technique is transparent, I'm glad it's there. "
" In this book it starts out in an interview room. The person being interviewed is Cameron Porter. He is getting interviewed because his friend Leonard was the shooter. Len shot a jock, Brad. He did this because Brad was bullying him. This book leads to the shooting by Len bringing Cameron and Carla to the shooting range. (Carla is another one of their friends) This wasn't something Cameron or Carla wanted to do and knew something was wrong. To get the full detail of why Len did this and all of the facts you should read this book. But in my opinion it's not that great in some ways because it just drags on and on with the slow interviews. But one thing I have learned from it is how much damage bullying can do. I would recommend this book to some people that pick on kids to know what this can cause to happen. "
" this book was ok, it was pretty emo but i still liked it. "
" School shooting story. "
" so far i think that tis book is mad good and its keepin me interested throughout the whole book "
" I usually love Walter Dean Myers, but I was disappointed in this one. "
" This book is about a school shooting. It was well written and interesting. It really gets you thinking. The book gives the basic feel of what went on in a school shooting with out having to read a book like Columbine. "
" This book was written in a weird format but it was interesting nonetheless. I liked it. Wasn't the best though. Basically, it was about this kid who shoots one of the guys who makes his life hell then kills himself and it's being told from the perspective of two of his friends. "
" omg, it's one of those books where you have to read it even though you don't like what happend or what it's about. Though it reminds me of the book called "give a boy a gun", by Todd Strasser. "
" What a mind trip the pages from Lens journal was...it was like listing to Charlie Sheen talk!! "
" Loved it. It was more like a documentary with interview but it was really fun to read. And quick too. I recommend this to people who like rebellion and guns and a bit of violence if it doesn't bother them. "
" Its a great book for people who like crime justice and freedom "
" shooter was a good book. the way it was formated was interresting. "
" this was a very good book, it made me think deeply and i would recommend it to anyone. "
" A tale told by interviews from surivors and the diary of the dead. Violently depicts how quickly something can go out of control. Terrifying: because you fall in love with the characters even though you know what they did. A must read. "
" i wonder if its based on a real storyit was so emotional "
" What I think about Shooter is that it is a very good book because it tells you lots of important things. For example, it tells you how when you see a crowd to go the other way because you just might get shot.If you go with the flow. "
" This book was very boring. "
