3.0

It was just ok. Not great, but not horrible, either. I didn’t like the way that  the book was written (both the writing style and the pacing) and I’ve also heard that it’s not 100% factual, despite being nonfiction.

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.
