    Very sad, but an eye opening book and proof that good kids still exist.

    This is an excelent book, in the book it talks about how cassie struggled with her faith as a early to mid teen and then how through her struggles she became stronger and she then had a much deeper meaningfull relationship with Christ, this book is a powerful "make ya think" kind of book, i highly recomend it.

    The tragedy of Colombine High brings the story of Cassie Bernall, a girl who was open about her religion before she was shot dead. A teenage girl and the relation she had with her parents, the peer pressure she went through and her life chaging experience after she was introduce to her faith.
    I like how detail scenes were described. I chose this book because one of my friends gave it to me. I would recommend this book to young adults and also parents.

    I thought she said yes was a great book! It made me think about how we should not take our lives for granted and we should live every day to its full,because you never know what is going to happen next.

    This book is truly an emotional and tragic real life story about Cassie Bernall was a high school student killed in the Columbine High School massacre on April 20th, 1999. The two killers were Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, who were students in the school. Also, it talks about Cassie's high school life. The problems she faced and troubles that teenagers seem to have.
    This book relates to the violence in the world like the War In Iraq, Virginia Tech Shooting, fights, and much more. The Virginia Tech shooting is very similar to the Columbine High School massacre. Both had one or two person who was mentally crazy. They both had guns to kill innocent people such as students and teachers. Finally, both of suicided themselves to not be arrested. Overall I recommend this book to anyone interested in real life massacres.

    This book has brought me to tears multiple times. I love the way that they describe her life, and I don't know if I would be able to say yes. I believe in my religion, but with a gun to my head, I might not be able to just say yes. She might not know how much she has influenced the world with that simple word. No one, and I mean NO ONE should not like this book. Inspirational... simply a must read.
