Monday Redux

by Robert Favole

You only get one chance - or do you? Traumatized by failing to prevent devastating school violence, a boy is cursed and blessed to relive that day. But his second chance involves terrifying risks. This roller coaster story is also a masterfully written snapshot of teen life in a media-driven society. Based on events all too horrifyingly familiar. If you had the chance to relive a day to stop an incident of high school violence, would you? And what, exactly, would you be getting yourself into? Rego (like we go), had that choice. Or so he says. Rego sits in jail, overwhelmed with shock and guilt. He claims he wasnt involved in the violence. Hell tell you his story. He claims itll be the unwashed truth. The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. So help me, please. But no one can help Rego, unless he can help himself.

[Doutzen Bachman · Rating 3 out of 5]

An interesting take on heroism and responsibility from the point of view of a teenage boy. It doesn't do anything revolutionary, and the plot is quite predictable at times, but it's still quite a fun read. I recommend it if you're in the mood for a more niche read with some coming-of-age themes.
