Modern day Breakfast Club.By rexyMuch more about the lives of five very different high school students than a school shooting. A modern day Breakfast Club, complete with the princess, the nerd, the weirdo, and the jock. Most of these people don't spent any time together or even notice each other at all. Locked in a room with no way out, is it possible that they could gain some kind of understanding about

2. each other?Alice is the shy and nerdy writer. She spends a lot of time worrying after her autistic brother, Noah. When everything is going right, he's fine. When things change, he can be unpredictable. Locked in a bathroom with strangers is not the ideal situation for anyone, and for him it's much worse. Isabelle is the stuck-up and spoiled school president. She has issues of her own, but it's hard to see past her ego-mania. Hogan is the huge ex-football player with a troubled past who radiates hostility and anger. Xander is a socially awkward photographer who has a really hard time understanding other people. These are not people that would hang out together... but now they have nowhere else to go.They know their school is on lockdown. They know there's rumors of a shooter roaming the hallways. They know that there is a police presence in the school. What they don't know is who to watch out for... and how they're ever going to leave the school.Read and enjoyed in one sitting. I'd recommend it to readers who like YA novels. There's bound to be a character here you relate to in some way, and the story is very intriguing.I received a copy of this book from Net Galley and Penguin Random House Canada, thank you! My review is honest and unbiased.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Falls Short of ExpectationsBy Lupine SmileRazorbill Canada and NetGalley provided me with an electronic copy of Shooter. I was under no obligation to review this book and my opinion is freely given.Shooter involves a plot that is all too common in today's society. When a teenager on the fringes of his high school microcosm decides to amp up his pranks to something more deadly, will a group of teens together in lockdown be able to help the police stop the tragedy from happening?The biggest problem that I had with Shooter was that the author decided to stick with the normal clichs and ended up with a totally expected story line. Unfortunately, there was not one point in the story that I was able to shake my head and feel that I did not see it coming. The author does a good job of creating movement in the story, despite the fact that three-quarters of the book takes place in a bathroom. The characters, although their typical natures were expected, were fully developed and I could see a sense of who they were. Overall, the concept was good, but Shooter falls short of my expectations.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Couldn't Put It Down!By MortishaIf you can imagine, The Breakfast Club with a gunman running around the school, you will get this book. A few school kids, from different social standings, trapped in a bathroom. There are a few twists that keep you on the edge of your seat. It was a very fast read. I enjoyed the story line and all the characters, even though I must say I really felt bad for Alice and her responsibilities being so young and having to help take care of her brother. I would recommend this to everyone. The Breakfast Club meets We Need to Talk About Kevin. A lockdown catches five grade 12 students by surprise and throws them together in the only unlocked room on that empty third floor wing: the boys' washroom. They sit in silence, judging each other by what they see, by the stories they've heard over the years. Stuck here with them--could anything be worse?There's Alice: an introverted writer, trapped in the role of big sister to her older autistic brother, Noah.Isabelle: the popular, high-achieving, student council president, whose greatest performance is her everyday life. Hogan: an ex-football player with a troubled past and a hopeless future.Xander: that socially awkward guy hiding behind the camera, whose candid pictures of school life, especially those of Isabelle, have brought him more trouble than answers.Told in five unique voices through prose, poetry, text messages, journals and homework assignments, this modern-day Breakfast Club takes a twist when Isabelle gets a text that changes everything: NOT A DRILL!! Shooter in the school!Suddenly, the bathroom doesn't seem so safe anymore. Especially when they learn that one of them knows more about the shooter than they realized...
