School Shooter Thorsten Nesch, is one of the coolest writers we’ve had on our blog, “Grolar”, was one of the most original books last year, and he’s back with: “School Shooter.“ Yes, you can bet that this will be a splendid book. Why do we say this? Because Thorsten Nesch is one of those writers that pack his books with original, wild, unexpected plots and valuable content with depth. With a surprising start, Thorsten Nesch catches our attention and kicks the plot onwards with the main character. His narrative moves from first to third person perspective with ease and we don’t notice until we stop to think about what happened. This fluidic shift and the simple description of the scenarios create a cinematic feel for the reading experience. Readers will love how fast the book moves and the feeling of progress you will get when the chapters speed by because of Nesch’s narrative. He made the 30 30

The emotions, perceptions, motivations and internal struggles of characters have depth and add weight to the story.

He also takes a chance to go into the thought process of teens and kids, and how they try to understand the whole situation emotionally. The author, we assume, shows how poorly these situations are handled by the authorities, parents, and “higher ups”. It’s fascinating how “oblivious” most people want to be when things like this happen. There’s an important mention of how the police are ready to intervene with small crimes, but not so much in the big ones. This book is interesting and demands a deep reflection of society and the standards of courage and integrity required. It
