Columbine (by Dave Cullen)

I had been curious about this book because Entertainment Weekly gave it an A and a friend of mine read it and confirmed that it was excellent. But it did not exactly sound like a laugh riot or even much of a page turner.

Then I was at my sister's house and she pushed the book across the coffee table to me. "Have you read this? Just read the intro." And I was completely hooked. I couldn't put it down. I stole it from her so I could finish it on the plane ride home, even. Riveting, page-turning stuff. You probably already know if you have any interest in this book or not, I will just add my voice to the chorus: it's a really good book on the truth and the myths behind the Columbine massacre.
