Who Killed Mr. Chippendale written by Mel Glenn

I actually stumbled upon this book while searching some websites for a book of realistic fiction and this was placed under the category of "Mystery" on one of the sites. Turns out the book is many different poems about the murder of a high school English Teacher Mr. Robert Chippendale. The poems all differ from the student to student and as book goes on you are supposed to deduce who the killer is. I found that this a very creative way to write a mystery. Although on the other hand it was hard to follow considering there were so many different points of views. I am not even sure if this book can be considered a one story poem book or not, but I don't know how else to categorize it, because all though it is many different poems, they are all written by one guy and they all center around the mystery of who shot Mr. Chippendale. Like I said before, although this style of telling a mystery through poems is a very creative and interesting, it was hard to follow and sometimes confusing. With that in mind I would suggest it for a reader who wants a challenge but not for someone just wanting to read poems.
