In a bloody rampage, he shot and killed give students and decapitated a teacher. He was apprehended and sent to prison.

If you can&#8217;t read it, that&#8217;s what the tiny white box on the picture says. These books are violent, sexual and have all sorts of language.

It has a very round shape to it which I know sounds like a load of nonsense but somehow that&#8217;s what I think when I look at it. I like that they&#8217;re bold. The covers all read like social commentary with topics of a big bad corporation and school massacres, but that&#8217;s really just the tip of the iceberg. You start reading and before you know it&#8217;s you&#8217;re on the last page going wow..what just happened there?<\/p>\n<p><u>The Bad<\/u>\u00a0: These are adult so I have to hide these from the 11 year old who is going to see these covers and want to pick them up. In all seriousness, I don&#8217;t really have any complaints when it comes to these books.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiUi5d3kk7fNqdk2enZaSkQ4ayAqPDsXLM1b6oEXw5f8K3ZK1OVnJMdtF_i_V79Dsd5dbZ8zACLeg9TmjGxIeNgR6KvSO1n6aR3ZyJ2KU-vhqzFe_jSjcMx0ZLhyzNRxBWB1Ci9HOl-zIFZ\/s1600\/cover_chapter_3_websafe_02.14.12.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiUi5d3kk7fNqdk2enZaSkQ4ayAqPDsXLM1b6oEXw5f8K3ZK1OVnJMdtF_i_V79Dsd5dbZ8zACLeg9TmjGxIeNgR6KvSO1n6aR3ZyJ2KU-vhqzFe_jSjcMx0ZLhyzNRxBWB1Ci9HOl-zIFZ\/s200\/cover_chapter_3_websafe_02.14.12.jpg\" width=\"140\" height=\"200\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><u>The Summary<\/u>\u00a0: If you&#8217;re an adult, like zombies, whodunits, whatjusthappenedtheres or just a really cool comic book, I&#8217;m going to suggest you go track this series down. I&#8217;ve read the first 3 in what I believe will be a series of 12 books and with any luck, I&#8217;ll be bringing you future updates. However, I will warn you that if sex, violence or profanity is not your thing, you&#8217;re not going to like these books. They will probably be offensive and we don&#8217;t want anyone offended. That&#8217;s bad. These books are good. Books=Good, Offended=Bad. Got it?
