A review by arielzeit
Columbine by Dave Cullen

4.0

An exhaustive and somewhat exhausting investigation into the Columbine tragedy, its roots and its aftereffects. Cullen does a great job of getting inside the killers' heads. Though in the end, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold are equally culpable for the mass murder, I don't believe Dylan would have done it alone. Cullen makes a good case for the two of them as a classic sociopath-explosive depressive dyad like Leopold and Loeb, a kind of folie a deux. At first I thought the creepiest part was that no one could have predicted this bloody cataclysm but by the end it was clear that law officials and parents had ignored obvious signals for years. Don't miss this if you're a true crime aficionado!
