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.
