Josh's Review: Give a Boy a Gun by Todd Strasser

If you are a guy and can't find anything to read or nothing interests you then read this. Give a Boy a Gun is a FICTIONAL book about two sophomore boys who are at the bottom of the food chain when it come to school. Written in a the format of interviews from several people who knew the boys, this book paints an accurate picture of what happens before, during, and after a school shooting. Brendan and Gary are two boys who are the dregs of the school. Ridiculed and laughed at by the jocks, these boys finally get fed up. This book shows what can happen when it all becomes too much and people snap under the strain of having to put up with being the butt of everyone's jokes. This book, while providing excellent reading material, also provides startling facts and phrases taken from various magazines, newspapers, and surveys about guns and guys.

Rating: 4Q, 3P
