Opzioni di acquisto e componenti aggiuntivi

In a one-of-a-kind collaboration, seventeen of the most recognizable YA writers&;including Shaun David Hutchinson, Neal and Brendan Shusterman, and Beth Revis&;come together to share the viewpoints of a group of students affected by a school shooting.

It took only twenty-two minutes for Kirby Matheson to exit his car, march onto the school grounds, enter the gymnasium, and open fire, killing six and injuring five others.

But this isn&;t a story about the shooting itself. This isn&;t about recounting that one unforgettable day.

This is about one boy&;who had friends, enjoyed reading, playing saxophone in the band, and had never been in trouble before&;became a monster capable of entering his school with a loaded gun and firing bullets at his classmates.

Each chapter is told from a different victim&;s viewpoint, giving insight into who Kirby was and who he&;d become. Some are sweet, some are dark; some are seemingly unrelated, about fights or first kisses or late-night parties. This is a book told from multiple perspectives&;with one character and one event drawing them all together&;by some of YA&;s most recognizable names.

5,0 su 5 stelle The Best
Recensito in Germania il 22 settembre 2021
Acquisto verificato
I was going to write a huge review of this book, as I normally do, but after taking a moment I decided to refrain. All I have to say is that, in my opinion, it's the best fictional novel I have read on this delicate topic so far. I loved to read all the different writing styles, the characters, how they got in touch with Kirby, how every perspective was so important to the whole picture of a tragedy. Especially the chapter from the POV of the gun blew me away. That was just beautiful and scary. A very, very important book. Please read it.

5,0 su 5 stelle An ambitious works executed amazingly
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 16 agosto 2021

Although a list of author credits longer than a shopping list would leave anybody skeptical at the level of consistency or continuity the differences in writing styles and methods of characterisation is what makes this piece so great. There where only one or 2 characters in the entire novel that I genuinely liked and yet I appreciated every single perspective as they were the kind of people you truly meet in high school- not so much immoral as they are selfish and human. Unfortunately the premise itself is timely and topical it feels as though there is a greater lesson in every page and yet what that lesson is would be open to interpretation whilst each story itself is about one small person (or gun) in a big but also local picture- meaning it all matters personally but just like an real life tragedy you could ignore them and go on your whole life being none the wiser which I believe was an intentional reaction- for that alone it’s definitely worth the read

5,0 su 5 stelle we see accutely through stories of possibility denied like "The Girl Who Said No" by Trish Doller
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 11 settembre 2015
Acquisto verificato
I'll confess: I went into the book with mixed thoughts, because books predicated around school shootings can often be tricky territory. They're sometimes done exceptionally well, but I wasn't sure how the multiple perspectives would factor into Kirby's story. Would it ultimately detract away from helping readers develop a full picture of both the shooter and the event itself?

Well, I shouldn't have worried. Because Shaun Hutchinson and seventeen of the most talented writers in YA have teamed up to share the puzzle pieces of Kirby's life with insight provided by friends and classmates, who were both intimately and broadly acquainted with him. Through each story, we get a little closer to just what could have possibly drove Kirby to this end.

While each of the stories stand on their own merit, it doesn't seem fair to judge them individually. So I'll just say that in terms of the whole picture, each story adds a piece to the puzzle that is Kirby, showing just why this young man has been driven to these violent ends.

Each story ultimately asks, and sometimes outright challenges the reader, to ask the question of just what - if anything - could have been done differently to prevent this tragedy from happening. While the temptation is to just write Kirby off as a homicidal monster, something that Beth Revis's main character struggles with in "Violent Beginnings", we see accutely through stories of possibility denied like "The Girl Who Said No" by Trish Doller, or the gentle and painful truths of "Feet First" by Margie Gelbwasser, that this was a young man with complexities and challenges reinforcing his humanity, but also making the end result all the more troubling.

While Violent Ends is a challenging, and often times painful read, it's also a welcome and much needed-look at a reality that has unfortunately become more and more commonplace.

Final verdict:
Violent Ends is an important book in all respects, but especially for younger readers. Sure to provoke a lot of conversation and discussion, and I would like to introduce this book - with care - to the young readers in my life.

5,0 su 5 stelle Cleverly done, bit of a heart wrencher.
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 17 giugno 2018
Acquisto verificato
As this is told from multiple perspectives I found it added more to the depth of this story. You will feel your heart drop by the end, obviously you know how it ends for Kirby Matheson and his victims but the build up and aftermath being told from those who knew him - be they friends, class mates, family and even one of the kids who bullied him is still a compelling yet sad read. Cleverly done.

5,0 su 5 stelle Nuanced look at some dark subject matter
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 5 settembre 2015
Acquisto verificato
In April of 1999, I was sitting in science class when I heard about the actions of two angry kids in a HS twenty miles away. I haven't really spent a lot of time thinking about that over the years. This book brought all of those feelings back up and socked me in the gut with them.

This is an intense, and sometimes confusing book. But I really think that it speaks to how intense and confusing such an event is. No one is sure of the why or the how. People aren't even sure of their own emotions or how they should react. Violent Ends aptly illustrates that. Each of the stories are woven around a few concrete points, but the way they get to those points, and the emotions they convey create this complex view of a singular event. There are no heroes or villains, just people trying to live their lives, hide their weakness, and make it to the next day.

It's hard to separate the different stories. All of them seem to start in the middle, and most of them end ambiguously, just slice of life vignettes.Each of them relies on the other stories to flesh them out, to bring in background and contrast. As individual stories these would falter, but in the anthology setting, they're really able to flourish. It's a different approach to an anthology, and one I really enjoyed.

This would be an incredible book to read with your children after a school shooting. It's very thought provoking without being preachy, leaving the issues of gun control or mental illness out of it entirely to focus on the people impacted. Highly, highly recommended.
