This book was amazing. I'll have to say that I only read this book because of reading "the hour i first believed" by Wally Lamb...which was a fictional (but fact filled) story of what happened after the Columbine shootings. I was mesmerized & kept forgetting that it was fiction. Same holds true for Columbine by dave cullen. I kept forgetting that this book is non-fiction!! I have to say that I'd lost track of all the news & updates on all things Columbine - it's been almost ten years (April 20th will be 1o years) and since I don't watch the news much, I had never heard all of the continuing rumors and untrue stories that the media dreamed up. This book tells the truth and shares all the information. I used to think "where in the hell where their parents when they were planning all this"...after reading the book - i can no longer blame them. After reading the book - I can point more & more fingers toward the local law enforcement for turning a blind eye. This story is sad, eye opening, more sad...made me mad, made me cry. Made me remember high school in a whole different light. Who were the Harris's & Klebold's of MY school...and was i on a list somewhere. Or could I have been Harriet? This is worth the read...not overly graphic for those who are faint of heart..but just gives the world a better understanding of early detection and really knowing and paying attention to your children. we all have things we hide from people. but these kids were screaming at the top of their lungs & no one listened. Not that i'm taking their side at ALL...just wish that someone would have listened to them. Gotten them some help and saved that small town from all the pain they will live with forever.
