5.0 out of 5 stars Truely Addictive!, 20 Feb 2003
Wow! This book was seriously addictive, from the very first paragraph all the way to the last. I have never read a book which has left me, firstly speechless and secondly full of different feelings and emotions. Unless you know this story, you can't begin to realise the depth it involves and Jim Schutze does the most amazing job of re-telling it.
At times I almost forgot this was a true story because it's written in such a way that it reads like a fiction book.
Schutze also passes the difficult test of not showing any bias opinions towards anyone involved in this true crime and because of this, neither did I.
I am now so interested in the story, I intend on carrying out some more research.

Read this and be amazed!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Question of Morality, 7 Feb 2004
The deeply disturbing thing about this book is not the brutal murder at its core but my reaction to those who started out as victims and finished up as anything but, and the "bully" who was in effect reduced to less than dirt.

In particular, what I found so disturbing was the way that Shultz was able to get me as a reader to see that there is a grey area in murders - it isn't a question of did they kill, for that goes without saying. But if they did, are they guilty of murder? Are they responsible for they're actions? Isn't the murder a predictable response to the years of abuse that they had suffered? There is a constant and uncomfortable presence of this idea of a thin line between good and evil and the duality that exists within the individual.

I found myself literally at his mercy as I was exposed to some of the most brutal forms of assault and found myself sympathising more with the killers than I did with the eventual victim. But as the book unfolded, I was forced to question my own vision of morality – is it only self-defence if you are protecting yourself at the time? Can it be self-defence if you are trying to protect yourself from the future? When does it cease to be self-defence and turn out to be brutal murder?

I cannot say, but in reading the book it is certainly a question that will need to be answered.

The story - Absolutely tragic. A terrible waste of young minds - young lives. But what is really awful is that this can happen again, because after all, the people involved at the centre are just that - people. You’ll be surprised how much like them you really are.

A ‘must’ on the bookshelf for any parent. A ‘must’ on the bookshelf for any teenager. "Bully: A True story of High School Revenge" is a fantastic story about love, hate, loyalty, betrayal and innocence lost.

5.0 out of 5 stars An unbelievable story, impossible to ignore or forget!, 5 May 1999
By A Customer
I just purchased this book on a whim and read it from cover to cover on a three hour flight! I have never read a book this quickly. This book is remarkable both in it's detail as well as it's writing style. It is a very sad testment to today's youth and should be must reading for everyone in high school. One of the best true crime books I have ever read.

I love to read true crime, however, this story lacked details and explainations. I was disappointed to see that the only picture of the victim was of his face-down battered body!
