jenmangler 's review for:

Columbine by Dave Cullen

4.0

---

Everybody thinks they know the facts of the April 1999 Columbine school shooting. This book really challenges that assumption. Writing about one news report written 48 hours after the massacre, Cullen says, "The details were accurate, the conclusions wrong. Most of the media followed. It was accepted as fact." Powerful food for thought. Cullen writes powerfully & beautifully and helps to shed light not only on the events of that day but on the implications of the event. This is a marvelous and important book and I highly recommend it.
