Columbine by Dave Cullen

challenging dark informative reflective sad tense slow-paced

5.0

This was a reread for me and a tough one. The first time I read this was in 2012 when I was just figuring out the world as a senior in high school. Now as an adult, and a teacher who may be teaching this to her AP kids, this book hits different, but is still thought provoking. The issues discussed in this book have not gone away. Not only that, but no real progress has been made on many levels to address the stigmas of mental health, the accessibility to get guns through legal loopholes, the misinformation of public officials, and the harmful power of the media. 

However, it doesn’t mean that this book is all doom and gloom. It addresses the human condition in all it’s glory both positive and negative. A definite must read
