“I didn't need to die for him to kill me.”
School shootings. They are terrible and scary, but they also affect the people inside the school building and people outside the school building. We see this through out this book This Is Where It Ends.
What started out as a normal day for the students and teachers of Opportunity High School, ends in chaos. The principal calls all students and teachers to the gym for the predictable beginning of the year assembly.
Everything is normal at 10:00am when the principal brings her big speech on how students need to excel and achieve their goals this year.
At 10:02, the students get up to leave the gym and resume their daily classes.
At 10:03, the students and teachers find themselves locked inside the gym.
At 10:05, somebody starts shooting.
Follow the point of views of four students who are not only inside the gym, but outside as well.
I thought this book was absolutely amazing! The suspense and storyline were just captivating. I really enjoyed how the story switched between points of views so that we got an inside look and an outside look at the situation going on through out the story. I also really liked how this story covered a topic that most author are scared to write about. This book also really made me think about how actions of others could truly drive someone to the point of no return. I would definitely recommend this book to all my friends and family because this is an experience you don't want to miss out on.

This sounds really good and it's getting a lot of hype and publicity now on the blogging sites. Nice review.
This sounds really good I think I would really like this book! It sounds pretty sad but also very interesting and suspenseful.
I've heard mixed things about this, but after reading your review I'm going to move it up on my TBR list - thanks!
Mrs. Konekokimi and Hailey Hinrichs,
This book is very well written! You guys should definitely read this. It has suspense, action, love (very little), and heartbreaking moments. I highly recommend this book.
Your review made the book seem really interesting. It sounds pretty interesting, and the quote at the beginning is a great grab. Is it from the book or an outside source?
It seems that this book has a lot of potential to be sad, suspenseful, and action filled.
I like the idea of this book but maybe there should be more genres for guys
This book sounds intriguing! I do have a comment about your word choice. You use "really" and "very" too frequently. Maybe next time use more vivid descriptive adverbs!
The idea of this book is so interesting and the suspenseful way of writing your review was breathtaking. The process of writing about traumatic events can be a daunting task, especially for such a recommended book. Your review wrapped me up in the story the moment I read it, and I trust the book lives up to the expectations I have. I hope the book is just as poignant and moving as you described it to be. I will definitely get it for some light reading later!
School shootings are a hard thing to talk about, but if you read a book about it you might be able to get some sense of suspense that goes along with school shootings. This seems like this would be a good book to read because it is suspenseful and it talks about a major problem in today's world, mass shootings. I think I'm going to read this book for my next outside reading book because of Sarah's intriguing review.
The review was not very long, but it got to the point. The point that not many authors choose a book like this is very interesting. This book seems like a very said, emotional, and traumatic book. It seems there is not that many "happy" moments.
This book was always in the back of my head and I always wanted to read it but never had the motivation to.. Your review made it a lot easier for me to decide to read it because it seems extremely interesting from the first quote to the last sentence!
This book seems very intriguing especially with all of the chaos going on in the world today. The reviews made the book sound very suspenseful and amusing. I have seen this book in the library and debated on whether to read it or not and now with a deeper knowledge of what is inside, this book is a possibility for the near future.
