Could not get enough of this book. I could have read another 400 pages. I confess to being oddly intrigued by these sorts of true life stories -- and especially this one, since it retells an event tragically relevant to my own generation. This is the best non fiction I've read since In Cold Blood, and it certainly borrows from Capote's narrative style. The details are riveting, and I basically discovered that everything I thought I knew about Columbine was utterly incorrect. Since starting this, I've been campaigning to get each of my family members to read it, because I desperately want to talk about it. Five stars.
