If you want to know more about the Columbine shootings you can find more information on the web instead of in this book. This book is very short and uninformative.

Do not buy this book if you want to know anything about Columbine. You would think that someone with a Master's degree would know how to do some kind of research on a topic they are writing a book about. The facts presented in the book are not accurate. I felt my intelligence dropping a few points just reading it. It pains me to think that someone will read this "book" (for lack of a better word) and walk away thinking they know who the killers were or what really went down.

A well researched book into the details and description of this incident which is very interesting. It reads like an incident report however and answers the question who, what, when and where. This author and others along with a host of ohter "experts" do not answer the why this happens question? They do not and can not answer this question even though school shootings were going on a decade previous to this more infamous incident. I do recommend The Last Street Fighter, Run Baby Run and The Cross and the Switch Blade which does answer the "why" question with real incidents that happened long before this one.
