Description
The explosive and emotional #1 New York Times bestseller.
Go inside a heartbreaking fictional school shooting, minute-by-terrifying-minute. Everyone has a reason to fear the boy with the gun...
10:00 a.m. - The principal of Opportunity, Alabama's high school finishes her speech, welcoming the entire student body to a new semester and encouraging them to excel and achieve.
10:02 a.m. - The students get up to leave the auditorium for their next class.
10:03 a.m. - The auditorium doors won't open.
10:05 a.m. - Someone starts shooting.
Over the course of 54 minutes, four students must confront their greatest hopes, and darkest fears, as they come face-to-face with the boy with the gun.
In a world where violence in schools is at an all-time high and school shootings are a horrifyingly common reality for teenagers, This Is Where It Ends is a rallying cry to end the gun violence epidemic for good.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
This Is Where It Ends by Marieke Nijkamp is intensely gripping, focusing on a harrowing school shooting from multiple perspectives. The narrative deftly captures the emotional turmoil and fear experienced by students, making it both impactful and challenging to read. While praised for its powerful storytelling and timely theme, some reviews mention that certain character developments and plot points feel somewhat underdeveloped.
