Tough to read but definitely valuable in debunking some of the popular myths about Columbine, and about the way we talk about school shootings in particular. I do have some disagreements with elements of this book, but overall I think it is a valuable resource.

desertmountainreads's review against another edition

5.0

An interesting and horrifying account of the Columbine massacre, this book was really well researched and presented.  Dave Cullen did an excellent job of relaying the events and details in a way that was, in my opinion, as unbiased as possible given his experience.  It was not an easy read - I had to read it shorter chunks over a longer period of time, which was of course due to the subject matter, but also due to the extent of detail.
