Columbine by Dave Cullen

5.0

Oh. My god. This book was FANTASTIC. It's a little old and has been updated a few times, but I loved it. I don't remember the Columbine shooting happening (I was only 7), and I thought it was just a standard "we're mad at the world and we're going to shoot a few people to make a point". It was so much more than that and Dave Cullen does an awesome job of laying it all out and telling the backstory and whatnot. He was there as a journalist when it happened, so it's not like he's writing this removed from the situation. It did drag a little bit at times and the way the chapters were cut up was strange. There was also a lot of jumping back and forth in time, between people and places, etc. But overall, really, really good.
