This book felt like it glamorized the murders and the murderers and it went into way too much detail about how everything happened and I can’t imagine this book is anything but harmful.

I wanted to understand what I could and learn, and Cullen allowed for that. The psychology is a little outdated, but it was accurate for the time. I was fascinated by the extent of grace Cullen seemed to offer the police, and of course, he didn't see the rest of the picture, in the rise of far right actors. However, I am glad I spent the time reading this.

Very good and fairly unbiased. It was nice seeing the actual facts and not just what the media fed us in 1999.

An exhaustive and somewhat exhausting investigation into the Columbine tragedy, its roots and its aftereffects. Cullen does a great job of getting inside the killers' heads. Though in the end, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold are equally culpable for the mass murder, I don't believe Dylan would have done it alone. Cullen makes a good case for the two of them as a classic sociopath-explosive depressive dyad like Leopold and Loeb, a kind of folie a deux. At first I thought the creepiest part was that no one could have predicted this bloody cataclysm but by the end it was clear that law officials and parents had ignored obvious signals for years. Don't miss this if you're a true crime aficionado!

This book clears up a lot of the misconceptions reported in the media about Columbine. I feel like I learned a lot - much of which scared me. It is a thick book, but a very quick read.

Very detailed and it's one that you will want to take your time on. It has information that Noone knew about and gets into Dylan and Eric's POV pretty much.
