Comments on: Hate List by Jennifer Brown http://www.readingrants.org/2009/09/25/hate-list-by-jennifer-brown/ Fri, 03 Feb 2012 15:12:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Haley http://www.readingrants.org/2009/09/25/hate-list-by-jennifer-brown/comment-page-1/#comment-2616 Haley Sun, 02 Jan 2011 07:13:11 +0000 http://www.readingrants.org/?p=980#comment-2616 Even though this isn't my favorite book, I have to say it serves as a very interesting and also intensely truthful read. I saw alot of resmeblences between the school shooting situation in this novel and the Columbine shooting (which I learned more about from Dave Cullen's book at your reccomendation) but also some differences, as this story took a more "bully vs. victim" approach to students. For some reason, this book didn't strike an emotional chord for me. But for many, this book serves as a realistic tale of acceptance and figuring out who you were before a tragedy.

It is definitely a must-read and a book nearly impossible to close. All teens, parents, educators, administers, and everyone else should, without a doubt, read this book!

This book has got to be one the most amazing books i ever read, i have read many books almost my whole libary at school, but this would have to go on my number 1 best book ever, that one night i read it, i thought about the hate list and why they wrote it, and i understand that, because of they were treated, but i made my own list its kinda funny but its the love list, i put all the peoples names in my head that teased me and thought about what was best of them, but honestly i couldnt do it, becuase i didnt know who they were really were like val and nick did, they just saw what they did to them, they didnt see anything else. I was trying to maek this short, but theres so much to say about this book its amazing truely, if only people could see what these kids saw whats so sad about it cost a persons life them to relize it. I am truly honored to have been the first in my high school to read this book when i saw it i had to get it, this book is great, if you havent read it i think you should.

The way Jennifer Brown tells the story really just captivates you through the whole book. Although this book is sad, when you're done, you feel like it had a happy ending. I recommend to anyone :) This book was absolutely brilliant! The way Jennifer Brown tells the story really just captivates you through the whole book.

I recently had a school assembly talking about bullying and the Columbine shooting. It was very emotional, and I think a lot of teenagers at my school really needed to face that reality that it could happen anywhere at anytime. I have really wanted to find a blog like this that I could find good books for teens like me. This seems like the perfect place! I will be checking back here often, please keep it going! :D -Cassidy As soon as I read this review, I went straight to my Mom and asked if I could get this book.
