Honestly, I my main problem with this book is that I found Valerie very difficult to relate to and understand. At points I could connect with the character, but she seemed selfish and acted, in my opinion, unrealistically when faced with certain situations, like just (view spoiler)[leaving completely (hide spoiler)] at the end of the book. She just seems off. Nick was also very annoying to read about. She tried to highlight Nick's "good side," but he shot up a school. The author doesn'tHate List is a YA novel about the aftermath of a school shooting. Okay, you do get the pre-math and the math itself, a little bit, but 90% is about the aftermath. I don't read YA novels because I'm an A and no longer Y but I read this one because life is pretty random, just like school shootings. One here, one there, who knows where the next one will be? All you know is, there will be a next one.This is an anguished tale told in the voice of 16 or 17 year old Valerie, and she went out with this
You know the kind of book that consumes you? Im talking turns-you-into-a-hermit-until-you-read-the-last-page. HATE LIST is that kind of book. Emotional rollercoaster? Yes. I wanted to cry. Scratch that I wanted to bawl my eyes out. The book is about a school shooting, but then again, it isnt about a school shooting. This is what the authors note says (in the back of the book): Funny thing, Ill bet if you asked ten readers what HATE LIST is about, theyd answer, Its about a school shooting. But

3.5 stars. After sitting on my thoughts for a day, I feel like I can't review this book with any sort of polished thought process, so I'm just going to let my fingers type out whatever comes to mind. I think this book probably deserves a 4 star plus rating because it is a story worth telling and a story worth reading, but a few things held me back from going higher.1. The timing was off for me. Given that my state has been rocked by several shootings over the past several years (the most recent
People do it all the time--assume that they "know" what's going on in someone else's head. That's impossible. And to think it's possible is a mistake. A really big mistake. A life-ruining one if you're not careful. This is the kind of story I was hoping for when I read This Is Where It Ends - a book that promised to delve into the darkness of school shootings, but never moved past a surface view of mindlessly evil shooter vs. poor victims. Hate List, on the other hand, is dark, psychological,
A WISE MAN ONCE SAID.Oh, don't roll your eyes. He IS wise!▶ OVERVIEW People hate. That's our reality. People hate and are hated and carry grudges and want punishments ... I don't know if it's possible to take hate away from people. Not even people like us, who've seen firsthand what hate can do. We're all hurting. We're all going to be hurting for a long time. And we, probably more than anyone else out there, will be searching for a new reality every day. A better one ... But in order to
This is a very deep topic, especially with what's recently happened in America. I'm glad I chose to finally read this book after it had been sitting on my shelf for a while. I didn't personally know any of the victims of the recent school shooting, but it hit me hard and I was left wondering for days about the victims and their families. So, I decided to read this book.This book is different from any school shooting books I've heard of. It follows a girl named Valarie who created a 'Hate List'
