Summerization [:p] of Give a Boy a Gun

Give a Boy a Gun by Todd Strasser is [what I think] a pretty interesting book [but it takes some time getting used to...an all quotes book]. Anyway, the 2 main characters are Gary and Brendan, takes place at Middletown High, & it tells you just how long it took them to snap & say, "Screw this, enough is enough," & just what they did about it. Give a Boy a Gun is about 2 very normal, non-sporty, intelligent kids who are [to put bluntly] looked down upon by the world basically created by the high school football players [who beat the crap out of them]. They wrestle together with their thoughts on what to do with their football enemies [and mention some of it to their "friends"]. But it becomes clear that when you give the boys their guns, the only thing on their minds is pure revenge.
