A review by thedubioushausfrau
Columbine by Dave Cullen
4.0
I was in the 9th grade when Columbine occurred and it changed how I experienced certain aspects of school. I still remember what to do in case of lock down and i graduated 10 years ago.
What interested me the most was the examination of how the entire tragedy was treated by the media and the myths that came out it as a result of the media handling/mishandling of the event, the survivors and, the victims.
I didn't appreciate some of the assumptions that were made on the authors part regarding the inner thoughts of the killers during the shooting. Unless he was walking around inside their heads there is no way he could know their inner most thoughts as the events unfolded.
Other than that it was well written, well researched and an intense read.
