This was my first time reading anything by Jeff Bennington. I'll definitely be reading more in the future. Was it perfect? No. Did I enjoy reading it? YES! It takes a lot to scare me and Reunion succeeded at that where many others have failed. Parents may find the school shooting scene at the beginning difficult to read so consider yourself warned. ( )

A little hard to get into but then thoroughly enjoyed it until the end. Not your typical thriller. I felt the ending was too pat. ( )

Twenty years after surviving a school shooting, Tanner Khan and his fellow classmates reluctantly agree to hold a reunion. Although they suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, they come back to their hometown and reunite in the defunct school building.
I enjoyed the first half of the book, was intrigued by the premise and looked forward to Mr Bennington's self proclaimed efforts to commemorate those involved in high school shootings. The cast of characters was interesting and the book moved along at a pace. But then, unfortunately, in my opinion, things started to unravel. The descriptions of the horror of the shootings and the effect on those involved became clichéd. I wondered how many more times one or other of them would `quiver' or `shudder' and by the time I read the sentence, `Her eyes gave way to the brownout that preceded her loss of consciousness.', I was in two minds whether to continue reading the book.
However, I persevered, trying hard to ignore all the exclamation marks, repeated use of the word `suddenly' and constant switching of point of view. In the end, I was glad I finished the book. The explanation of the phenomenon was credible, although the thoughts and feelings of the victims were described rather cloyingly. I feel Mr Bennington perhaps tried to do too much in this book by linking a high school shooting with a ghostly horror story and ended up not doing justice to either. Other readers, of course, may disagree with me. ( )

This book was good but gets a bit farfetched, then comes back to earth a bit. Over all it was a good catching read. ( )

A school shooting ruins the lives of 6 people. 20 years later they agree to face their fears and meet at the school for a reunion. As an interesting twist the author introduces a supernatural element to the story. ( )
