THREE HOURS TO SAVE THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE

In rural Somerset in the middle of a blizzard, the unthinkable happens: a school is under siege.

Pupils and teachers barricade themselves into classrooms, the library, the theatre. The headmaster lies wounded in the library, unable to help his trapped students and staff. Outside, a police psychiatrist must identify the gunmen, while parents gather desperate for news.

In three intense hours, all must find the courage to stand up to evil and save the people they love.

Gripping

I was riveted to this story, I picked it up whenever I could and finished it in 2 days. I enjoyed the story given from the perspective of individuals as the story unfolded. It held me to the very last

Tedious and overdone

Read about half then skipped to the end to find out what was going on. No great surprises.

Melifiscent ,

Astonishingly good read

This book will have you in tears of sadness and joy at the braveness of others and the brute force power of hate versus love.
