This Is Where It Ends
    2016-10-26  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

    Marieke Nijkamp’s debut* novel is about a school shooting in progress.

    This book brought the conversation back down to the individuals affected by such a senseless tragedy*, and explores whether these tragedies are senseless, or there is some sense in there, though convoluted* and misguided*.

    Opportunity High School takes pride in leading its students to greatness. After all, its motto is “We Shape the Future.” However, not all students agree. Outcast Tyler Browne has returned with a vengeance* and with his own motto: “I will make sure you remember me.” And so begin 54 minutes of hell on earth for students and staff as Tyler holds his audience captive* inside a locked auditorium, killing whomever he pleases and offering heartless grace to others.

    The story begins with a shot on the school’s track. The narration switches from four points of view, each with connections to the shooter and to each other. The entire story

    takes place over an hour, and it’s gripping.

    What this book highlights throughout is hope, determination and a will to live. That’s especially important in a book like this. The characters each struggle in their own ways, but all of them show hope and bravery.

    The book is available at online bookstores like jd.com.(SD-Agencies)
