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.

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.
