This book was utterly disturbing. I have been fascinated by the Columbine tragedy since that day in April of 1999. I think my fascination has always related to the question of "why did this happen?". The author tries his best to answer that question, although we will never truly understand why these two kids committed these atrocious acts. The author spent ten years researching information for this book, which was quite a feat considering the length of time it took for the police to finally release their investigation report (under court order), the covering up of information, and the initial media blunders in reporting incorrect information which took hold as fact.

I would recommend this book if you want the most concise account of what really happened that day. But I will warn you that reading the details of the killers rampage is difficult. It creeped me out and caused me to have difficulty being in dark rooms where I would invision Eric and Dylan in the corner with guns strapped to their bodies. Not for the emotional or faint of heart. Honestly, I am glad I have finished this book and can now move on to some lighter, less depressing reading.
