Pros: The Story Was Excellent

Cons: The Ending Wasn't That Good

The book After by Francine Prose is about a teenager named Tom. He has three friends Brian, Avery, and Silas. He lost his mom in a car wreck two years before. He lives with his dad in Massachusetts. He goes to Central High School. About fifty miles f...rom Tom’s school, there was a deadly shooting. This school was Pleasant Valley. It killed a bunch of people including teachers and students. Tom’s school Central gets all these new rules because of that one single school. They search their backpacks with metal detectors. People at his school are disappearing, most of which are his friends that are going to Operation Turnaround. Can Tom Handle the stress he has to face for most of his friends to leave him? I enjoyed the book throughout. I recommend that you read it. The only thing that I didn’t like about the book was the ending. Don’t let that stop you from getting the book though. I say the book is for ages 14-17 years of age. I hope you read this book and find out what happens after. Read more Less
