Shooter




I finished Shooter by Walter Dean Myers this morning. This was a short book, but it took me forever to read it. The summary made it sound like it would be a very good book. It was made up of police and psychological reports/interviews of Cameron, who was a friend of Len, a senior in high school who shoots another student and himself.


Cameron is questioned about his family, Len's family, Carla (Len's girlfriend), and other relationships at school. I think the book was written to give us insight into a disturbed mind. I don't think it did a good job.
