A review by nickn77
Columbine by Dave Cullen

5.0

I am embarrassed to admit that I am one of the sheeple that bought in to the media angle of the Columbine tragedy. I was convinced that Eric and Dylan were two social outcasts waging a Marilyn Manson fueled war on the popular teens of Columbine high. Once the media coverage for the events started to calm down I never reflected on what may have actually happened. Until now.[return][return]Dave Cullen paints a very different picture of the Columbine High School incident and the real story is far more painful to read than the version presented by the popular press. Dave Cullen's presentation of the events is factual, balanced, well written and simply strives to tell the truth of what happened on April 20th, 1999. If you too bought into the jock killing Trench Coat Mafia (TCM) depiction of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, do yourself a favor and read this book. Columbine is one of the most thought provoking books I have read in a very long time.
