Great content and narration

Comprehensive, well researched and well written book. I almost didn’t get it because someone else said they didn’t like the narration, but I appreciated the narrator’s tone, cadence and assumption of appropriate characterizations when reading quotes. I tend to listen to nonfiction at 1.2 speed, maybe that made a difference. I learned that open communication with sometimes small or questionable concerns between different people and groups, with someone tracking and putting all the info together, could develop a more accurate portrayal of someone’s threat risk.

excellent book, poor narration

the narrator reads every sentence like it's an intense movie trailor, only speaking in very short sentences, very distracting and made an i.portant topic harder to follow

Excellent Content; Robotic Narration

This book is for everyone—school personnel, parents, community leaders/members, and even older students—and Peter Langman has done the US a great service by writing it. He provides data-driven and scientific/psychological information about identifying potential school shooters BEFORE they commit acts of violence. At the same time, he is careful to distinguish actual “warning signs” and disturbing behavior from what may otherwise be deemed distasteful behavior, thereby guarding against unwarranted panic and unjustified reporting. As a society, this is information the general public is sorely lacking, and I highly recommend that—at minimum—every school official, teacher, and parent read or listen to Warning Signs.

That said, I hope the publisher takes it upon themselves to re-record this audiobook. The narration is simply awful. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that this was produced using AI, as it is monotone and completely lacks inflection.

Peter Langman is a prominent and well-regarded expert on gun violence in schools and the psychology of school shooters, and the information contained in this book is a gift to us all. Warning Signs deserves an audio version that is as compelling as its content.

Helpful!

I think all school personnel and parents should HAVE to read this. This was super helpful to hear all the scenarios and how they should have been approached.
