Review: Great demonstration of Mr. Myers's craft - I am waiting for Walter Dean Myers to wring a play or screenplay. I am an actor and a playwright and when I read "Shooter" just like "Monster" he crafts dialogue so effectively that it carries the story even without the narrative. Each character has a specific and active voice. Even the psychologists and reporters who merely record or probe information. But it's the diary of the Shooter at the end where you will be blown away by how Myers is able to get inside the mind of a disturbed, misunderstood and lonely teenager. This book is so incredible that whenever I lend it to one of my students, I don't get it back. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #465,379 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #125 in Teen & Young Adult Fiction on Social & Family Violence (Books) #202 in Teen & Young Adult Fiction on Depression & Mental Health (Books) #981 in Teen & Young Adult Coming of Age Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (79) | | Dimensions | 5 x 0.51 x 7.12 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | Grade level | 7 - 9 | | ISBN-10 | 0064472906 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0064472906 | | Item Weight | 5.6 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 223 pages | | Publication date | March 29, 2005 | | Publisher | Quill Tree Books | | Reading age | 14 years and up | ## Images ![Shooter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91VhdTJtXWL.jpg) ![Shooter - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41VAFsOvT9L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Shooter *by S***R on September 25, 2013* this was one of the best books i have ever read . the story that Walter Dean Myers put out is just amazing i couldnt believe the plot twists and points . i was on the edge of my seat at every single page turn . this is a must have book. every book he writes makes you feel like your actually in the story next to the characters . i love every single one of his books they are amazing. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great demonstration of Mr. Myers's craft *by H***R on July 5, 2006* I am waiting for Walter Dean Myers to wring a play or screenplay. I am an actor and a playwright and when I read "Shooter" just like "Monster" he crafts dialogue so effectively that it carries the story even without the narrative. Each character has a specific and active voice. Even the psychologists and reporters who merely record or probe information. But it's the diary of the Shooter at the end where you will be blown away by how Myers is able to get inside the mind of a disturbed, misunderstood and lonely teenager. This book is so incredible that whenever I lend it to one of my students, I don't get it back. ### ⭐⭐⭐ mixed feelings *by E***L on February 19, 2007* "Shooter" is the story of a school shooting told from the perspective of the two friends of the perpetrator, in interview format after the tragedy has occurred. Cameron Gray is the shooter's friend, and Carla is their mutual friend. Both teens have problems in the form of indifferent or abusive parents, bullying by peers, and in the girl's case, sexual abuse. However, neither is as troubled as Leonard, who plots to blow up the school and eventually makes an attempt. The book's strength comes from the fact that both Carla and Cameron are entirely believable teens. They don't speak in pop culture soundbites, they aren't endlessly snarky, and they don't have insight into their situation more appropriate for an adult of the author's age. I appreciated the fact that none of the young characters sounded as if they were on a primetime teen TV drama. The reader is given enough clues to piece together what happened and figure out why, without it being overly obvious or "message-y". So why the semi-low rating? When it comes to the shooter, Leonard, himself, the author makes it impossible to figure out what is making this guy tick. Is he mentally ill? His diary entry has the language usage of someone suffering from perhaps either schizophrenia or manic depression. At times, I found it nearly unreadable, though that could have also been the font. While I felt sorry for the teen, I was unable to glean any insight into his behavior. While this is an interesting direction to take with a character, it removes a lot of responsibility for his actions, and makes the issue of bullying, bad parenting, etc., secondary. At least if you believe these conditions are caused by nature, not nuture. "Give A Boy a Gun" by Todd Strasser uses a similiar format as "Shooter," only expanded to include interviews with the shooter's classmates and teachers. I think that might have helped provide more insight into the Leonard character. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/14703993-shooter](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/14703993-shooter) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
