People Kill People by Ellen HopkinsMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
In this small town, there are many reasons to carry a gun, but not all of them are honest. These six stories all have hidden secrets and as the larger story slowly unravels the reader will discover many of their rationales for wanting a firearm. Gun violence is only one of the topics addressed in this novel; Hopkins also delves into the thinking behind white supremacy and undocumented immigrants. I will admit that these are three large issues and it is a lot to cover in one book, yet People Kill People does all three topics justice. Since this is a novel in verse, the 400+ pages fly by quickly and the reader will feel as if the story read itself. People Kill People is a good read, but not a fun and easy read.
