One of my students saw that I was reading this and asked me why. I can remember the weeks following Sandy Hook that I was just devastated at the loss of life. My daughter was about the same age of those beautiful children murdered that day.
For the families to have struggled through the trauma of this experience to then have to deal with Alex Jones and his campaign of misinformation surrounding Sandy Hook is disgusting. I applaud the efforts of Noah Pozner's father, Lenny, to take down the many posts and forums surrouding conspiracy theories and the Sandy Hook shooting.
The families fought long and hard and won their case after many years of reliving the events.
Williamson does a good job of giving a full picture of the events of that day, but of also demonstrating how so many conspiracy theorists still believe their own narratives.

Its an interesting book about an interesting epidemic in the United States....the rise of conspiracy theory popularity. The title of the book doesn't exactly indicate that the book will be about the danger of conspiracies, so I feel a little bit misled. I was thinking it would be more about the particular tragedy in New Town Connecticut. I was hoping to understand why that guy would target children, but I still have exactly 0 insight into that.

A lot of research was done for this book but it was way to damn political and mostly about hoaxes than the actual shooting. I feel for the families this impacted
