This book revolves around a small group of teens that found themselves in serious trouble for racial bullying......it took me to just about half way through the book to actually get into it...... ( ) An interesting story delving into racism, subtle evilness (that becomes decidedly un-subtle), peer-pressure, family ties and many other things. Told in 10 different voices, the story is short, yet nearly too big. Several people sound the same and I sometimes got confused as to who was telling the story. I also found several parts difficult to read because I found them to be so unbelievable. Yes, I do think kids do stupid things without thinking, and yes, I do think those things sometimes spiral out of control and yes, I do think sometimes parents might even do illegal things to protect their children, but I had a hard time with ALL Of these things happening at one--add in deaths by cancer and suicide, bullying, virginity and sex and you have too much going on at once. In addition, it seemed the book was written with "teachers can use this to teach acceptance and responsibility and and and" going on in the author's mind. I still liked it, though, as it was certainly topical and some of the voices rang exceptionally true. I would recommend it, but wouldn't consider it a must-read. Told from ten people's perspective, the reader is given an insight into the thoughts, feelings, values and attitudes of those impacted by the brutal assault on an illegal immigrant. This is a tragic story that demands justice, but protecting the assailant seems to be the prevailing action. As the facts of that night evolved and the whole picture is revealed, I really wanted the truth to be told, and hoped someone had the courage to speak it. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
