![]() ![]() I think that this book could have told an even better and smoother story with about 100 pages less. My main complaint about this book is that it's too long and there are way too many minor characters who are part of the story for a few pages and then just disappear. Shelter in Place keeps the reader turning the pages because there is another deadly plot that is going on that is connected to the shootings and is affecting many of the survivors. Both of these characters are very well written - both their strengths and their weaknesses. Simone isn't sure what she wants to do with her life and Reed knows that he needs to be a police officer. The two main characters, Reed and Simone, follow different paths but the nightmares and the survivor's guilt plague both of them. ![]() ![]() Instead, it looks at several people and how the shooting affected their lives in the years after. The number of killed and wounded people in the crowded mall and movie theater was extremely high but the book isn't about the shooters or the people killed. Three young men go to a mall with the goal of killing as many people as they can. This is a book with a plotline ripped from current headlines. ![]()
