Oh my goodness, everyone who "remembers" Columbine needs to read this book. This is a work of non-fiction written by one of the first journalists to cover the story. I found out that much of what was reported directly after the shooting was hearsay and the detectives and police department did not release much information at all. Over the past ten years, the survivors and the families of the victims have worked hard to get the reports released. David read every piece of information available, double-checked the facts with eye-witness reports and interviews, and created this work detailing everything that happened before, during and after the shooting.
I was AMAZED at how much of what I thought I knew was absolutely not true. For example, the two shooters were never bullied in school, were not outcasts, and were not a part of the "Trenchcoat Mafia". There is so much more too. I recommend this book!
