Review: Not Just Another Bullying Story
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 10 19, 2011
In this tale of a broken girl trying to piece herself back together, Wendig manages to sidestep the usual cliches that could have easily turned Shotgun Gravy into yet another after school special or worse, yet another revenge fantasy for the downtrodden. Instead of insisting we feel sorry for Atlanta Burns because, you know, she's a victim, Wendig paints a portrait of a real person with real problems who'd probably spit in your eye if you dared feel pity for her. Wendig's writing is energetic and surprising and fun to read. I'm looking forward to other installments in this series. Highly recommended.
