Columbine

by Dave Cullen
Carver County Library, hard cover, 388 pages
genre: NF, school shooting

Hard-hitting. Powerful. There are so many things I could say about this book. We had a good book club discussion on this title at PRMS. Some of the things that came up were:
- how much did the parents know ahead of time? Could they have done things differently?
- have we had students who were psychopathic? How can one know?
- why did the sheriff not listen to his staff?

There was more, of course, but too much to blog about when I'm not in a writing mood. Absolutely incredible, well-researched book.
