A decent book about the Columbine tragedy. Not as well written as Dave Cullen's Columbine. There are several passages about "secondary characters" that went on for too long and did not add to my understanding of the situation which I tended to skim. Especially the chapter on the family of victim Isaiah Shoels. While I feel compassion for that family, their antics afterward left a bad taste in my mouth. I skimmed most of that chapter.

Well researched and documented, this book does give a detail look into the lives of the two killers and a straightforward account of what happened at the high school. ( )

This book is about a true cold hearted masacre. It was well written and very interesting to the reader. It made the important point that all school shooters have the same characteristics. Overall it was a good book.

A tightly-written, straightforward book but the real gem is the author's exclusives and how he got them. Kass uncovers Dylan Klebold's college essay, and a psychological profile of Klebold's mother. Amazingly, she is diagnosed with a death phobia when she is a teenager.

The author's search for information is sort of like a whodunit. Every time Kass uncovers a new exclusive, it's almost within his grasp until the attorneys step in and threaten him with a lawsuit. Each time, however, Kass wins, and he's managed to keep it all a secret for the past ten years.

The profiles of the killers are convincing but the book is also important because it goes beyond Columbine to discuss how all the school shooters are similar. This is important because I do not believe school shootings occur in a vacuum. There is clearly something about the culture that has played a role and Kass tries to tap into that. ( )

I hope people come here to this place to think about how they themselves can be better people rather than come here to reflect on death.
