“You can't really teach a kid anything: you can only show him the way and motivate him to learn it himself.”
I feel weird giving this book a rating given the content of the book. Dave Cullen did a great job presenting the facts in a minute-by-minute and year-by-year timeline of the events before, during, and after the pivot point on April 20th. Most people want to know why after a tragedy like this happens. After a decade of analyzing police records, psychological profiles, and the killers' own writings, Cullen is able to give us an answer, though it probably won't make you feel any better about it.
