Book Reviews of April 16th: Virginia Tech Remembers
Book Review: Reliving a tragedy
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a book for people who would like to relive the tragedy. It is often painful to read. I don't recommend it.
What people don't realize is that this massacre was terrorism and highly preventable, and need to learn how to prevent future violence not just re-play past events. It requires thinking and reflection, and I do not see this happening.
I am an independent thinker with a terrorism prevention strategy and after the event, I reached out to university administrators as well as political science professors. They weren't interested, but I continue to hold out hope that, as victims of terrorism, they'll be interested in working towards strategies to prevent terrorism.

Summary of April 16th: Virginia Tech Remembers
A gripping, emotional account of the worst school shooting in United States history, told by those who lived through itMonday, April 16, 2007 started like any other Monday at Virginia Tech, with professors and students preparing for another busy week of classes. However, word quickly circulated of a shooting in the dorms - and the gunman was still loose. The campus went into lockdown, and as the gruesome events unfolded in Norris Hall, a group of journalism students trapped in a nearby building transmitted stories and updates to the student-run website, PlanetBlacksburg.com.
Now, these students, together with their journalism instructor and members of the Virginia Tech community, have documented the events of that day. April 16th: Virginia Tech Remembers gives a voice to the students, faculty, and staff who lived through the shooting, and serves as a memorial for the 32 victims. The book also describes the onslaught of media coverage that immediately followed, and reveals the remarkable resilience of the students of Virginia Tech throughout the entire ordeal.
