Columbine by Dave Cullen

5.0

---

I can't remember a book I felt so viscerally. There were moments where I felt ill and moments I cried and moments I wanted to say, "WE ARE COLUMBINE" in unison with the surviving students in support. I hate that I am rating this book a 5 due to the subject of the book, but it was so well written and read (I listened to it) that I can't not give it the praise it deserves. Just when you think you thought you knew everything about the Columbine shooting you recognize there are many more facts that passed through your filter. A commentary on mental health as well it is eye opening and I believe should be a MUST read for anyone who works with adolescents. I know hindsight is 20/20, but there were many signs along the way as well as missed opportunities to stop this horrific event.
