Title: A Very Smart Book
Review: In theory one wouldn't think a book a bout a Columbine type schoool massacre would be funny, but this has moments of laugh out loud hilarity. Set in Martirio Texas the book is narrated by 15 year old Vernon Little, a foul mouthed kid whose best friend shoots sixteen classmates and then turns the gun on himself. But the real story is what happens after, when Vernon unfairly gets linked to the murders and the circus that erupts. The author with keen and razor sharp insight satirizes small town America, the media and the public's gross infatuation with it, reality television, and even the constitution. Based on the direction this country seems to be heading at the present time I found this book more than relevant and almost a little frightening in it's accuracy.
