cheesy, sentimental garbage: it's so odd that the very people who were unfortunate enough to have been touched by this horrendous event are precisely the ones who seem so radically and completely divorced from the brutal and unimaginable reality of what actually happened. it's all fine and nice to write a book called "Compassionate Revolution" and pretend that that's doing something, but let's keep in mind what happened. two kids walked into a school library and shot 13 other kids to death, then threw some bombs, shot at cops, and blew their heads off. glorifying the kids who happened to be unfortunate enough to be sitting in the library doesn't change the fact that there are probably 2 billion eric harris and dylan klebolds out there right now, screaming inwardly while their repugnant parents and vicious peers choose to ignore them while every once in awhile taking the trouble to put them down and abuse them. lay off the falsehood and face the reality.
You can change the world!: Every teen and parent should read this book. It is about making a difference in the lives of those we love and those we meet each new day. Read this now and begin the "Chain Reaction"!
The truth will set you free: Right after the Bible, this book should be required reading for every person on the planet. The concepts in this book are so simple to grasp but for whatever reason difficult to put into practice for most of us these days. It will have a positive impact on anyone who reads it. This book is all about the golden rule. If everyone took this approach, there would be a lot less time for hate and anger and more time for thinking about what really matters. Jesus said, "For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light" I think that it is far easier to love than to hate.. Thank you again Mr. Scott for a thought provoking book. May God's grace continue to work through you and your familiy.
Pretty Good Book: I thought that that the "Chain Reaction" book(which expresses and explains Rachel's beliefs and ideals) is a pretty good book, however the reason why I gave this book 4 stars is because I don't agree with what Rachel's father said about the Harrises and Klebolds and their households, apparently, not being so "cozy" and I thought that it was disingenious for him to suggest something like this when he doesn't know their home life anymore that I do.
Labor of Love: I have read the book Chain Reaction and I would like to say that I am very proud of my dad who wrote it. I know that for him it is a personal tribute to Rachel, as well as his passion to make a difference. And he is. I know that I am biased in my opinion but I wanted to take the opportunity to say how proud I am of him and I know that if my sister Rachel was here she would say the same thing. My dad has spent countless hours and hours educating himself and others on the issues facing our society today. This book challenges us all to be proactive in reaching out to others.
