Book Description

Publication Date: 4 Nov 2010
5 months ago Valerie Leftman's boyfriend opened fire on their school cafeteria, killing five students and one teacher before turning the gun on himself. Valerie, who was shot trying to stop him, is initially implicated in the shootings because of the hate list she helped create. The hate list her boyfriend used to pick his targets.

As Valerie integrates back into school, more of an outsider than she ever thought she was before, she is forced to confront her feelings of guilt and loneliness. Exploring the gray area between hero and villain, she navigates the rocky relationships with her family, her former friends, with the memory of the boyfriend she still loves, and with the girl whose life she saved five months ago. As she moves toward graduation and the year anniversary of the shooting, Valerie must come to grips with the tragedy that took place and her role in it all in order to make amends and move on with her life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Courtesy of Teens Read Too 8 Oct 2009
By TeensReadToo TOP 100 REVIEWER
Format:Hardcover
Valerie is alone. Her family tiptoes around her, her friends act like she doesn't exist, and most of the people in the community think she should be dead.

Valerie's boyfriend, the person she trusted more than anyone else, shattered her life when he brought a gun to school and wounded several students and killed many others, including himself. Most people believe Valerie was involved, but she had no idea what Nick was planning.

After spending weeks in the hospital recovering from a near-fatal gunshot wound to the leg, Valerie is moved to the psychiatric ward for observation. Afterwards, during her many therapy sessions, she begins to think back on her relationship with Nick and all the events that led up to the terrible act that changed an entire community.

HATE LIST is an extremely powerful story. I was in tears for the last eighty pages and felt emotionally drained by the time I reached the last page. Jennifer Brown has given us a wonderful example of the importance of keeping a watchful eye out for bullying in our schools.

Valerie is a strong character and it was great to witness her healing process. Once I started HATE LIST I couldn't stop. I read every chance I could. Even though the subject matter is very serious, this book was a pleasure to read.

Thank you, Ms. Brown.

5.0 out of 5 stars Weirdly Beautiful! 23 Mar 2012
By Miss Victoria Ramage
Format:Paperback
Valerie is coping with life after the aftermath of a shooting at her school - by her boyfriend, Nick. Now she believes (not completely incorrectly) that everyone blames her for it, despite stopping the shooting and gaining a bullet to her leg in the process. Going back to the past to show us what happened and switching to the future to show us the aftermath, this book kept me reading until the very last page.

Although Valerie was the main character, her boyfriend Nick was the most memorable for me. He seemed to have a presence during every chapter of the book, regardless of whether or not he was in that chapter or not! Valerie is a character I won't forget easily, I felt torn in two reading her story, agreeing with Valerie's opinions of herself and her parent's opinions at the same time. I wish I could have known her brother better, as he seemed pretty awesome and I was curious to see how having a sister that's accused of being an accomplice to a murderer effected him. I really hated Valerie's dad. I wanted to understand him but the stuff he said/did just made me hate more and more.

I got everything I expected from this book - and more. For such a thick book, it was a surprisingly quick read - probably because I enjoyed it so much! I loved watching (reading?) Valerie slowly come out of her shell throughout the book, making new friends and discovering herself again. I thought that the last chapter was just beautiful, and a very fitting ending to Valerie's story.

This book has everything a good book needs.
I really liked Valerie. She's a normal teenager. She's not part of the cool scene at school and the popular kids sorta pick on her. So she starts a hate list.
She writes down the names of the people and things that she 'hates'.
Not just the kids that bully her, also her parents who fight all the time and teachers who are lame.
In comes Nick, her boyfriend. He's a normal teenager too, he gets picked on too.
And he's in on the hate list. Yet he is pushed past his last limit and takes it to extremes.
He decides to take revenge on those on the list.
When a whoopie cushion just won't do... He decides to shoot them.
The amazing thing about this book is: Eventhough what Nick does is absolutely terrible... I liked him.
I found myself thinking that some of these kids got what they deserved.
Of course, no one deserve such a faith.
But Nick is not a bad guy, and there's where the authors talent comes out.
It isn't easy to make an audience actually like the bad guy in the book.
Because that's basically what Nick's supposed to be.

The book mostly revolves around Valerie returning to her highschool.
And how the other students and even the teachers treat her.
Some blame her, some celebrate her. (not the shooting, but the fact that she stopped it)
One of my favorite things about the book was her family dynamic before and after the shooting.
Seemingly normal family, but truly and deeply messed up.
I liked it that the author didn't automaticcaly made her parents 'parents-who-love-their-children-no-matter-what'
but actually made them complex characters too.
Another big part in the book, is Valerie trying to come to terms with what Nick did.
In her eyes there are two Nicks. Her boyfriend, who she loved and who was her rock and the guy who shot those kids.
And somehow she has to accept that they're the same guy.
Again great talent on the authors part.

I would really recommend this book to anyone who likes youth-adult fiction,
or who is even in the slightest intrigued by the storyline.
