This book uses masterful reporting to tell the stories behind the hearts and souls involved in the 1999 school shooting. I have never read a book so vivid and nuanced that was non-fiction.

“Your soul has a curious shape because it is a hollow made to fit a particular swelling in the infinite contours of the Divine substance, or a key to unlock one of the doors in the house with many mansions.”
-Heaven, pg. 152
I cannot recommend this book enough...

This is my new favorite book. It captures America through two very different perspectives and tells an incredible story of love, faith, and renewal. It was an absolute pleasure to read.

This book is hard to rank because parts of it are wonderful, very engaging, and deeply moving. However, Samuel Clemens knew that this would only be published after he died so he took no care in editing the content. This book brings out his raw person throughout the ups and downs of his life. Ultimately, I‘d say it‘s great if you‘re a Mark Twain fan, not great if you‘re looking for a gripping classic.

Last six chapters are worth their weight in gold.

paulfrankspencer What format did you read the last 6 chapters in? I suspect that would affect the weight and value. 4y
