Özet
 **THE GROUNDBREAKING BESTSELLER AND CLASSIC**

'Excellent . . . amazing how much still comes as a surprise' New York Times Book Review

'Like Capote's In Cold Blood, this tour de force gets below the who and the what of a horrifying incident to lay bare the devastating why' People

'A staggering work of journalism' Washington Post

'The tragedies keep coming. As we reel from the latest horror...' So begins the epilogue, illustrating how Columbine has become the template for nearly two decades of "spectacle murders." It makes the imperative to understand the crime that sparked this flame more urgent than ever.

What really happened on April 20th, 1999? The horror left an indelible stamp on the American psyche, but most of what we thought we knew was wrong. It wasn't about jocks, Goths or the Trench Coast Mafia. Dave Cullen was one of the first reporters on the scene, and he spent ten years on this book, the definitive account. With a keen investigative eye and psychological acumen, he draws on mountains of evidence, insight from the world's leading forensic psychologists , and the killers' own words and drawings. Cullen paints raw portraits of two polar opposite killers. They contrast starkly with the flashes of resilience and redemption among the survivors.

A genuinely moving account of an atrocity that continues to be painfully relevant today twenty years later. It's hard to fathom how two teenage boys could plan and inflict such mindless terror and suffering on the lives of decent, ordinary people. The entire account is driven by the author's skill in bringing the personalities of all those involved - both the shooters and their direct and indirect victims - to life such that one gains a harrowing insight into the absolute horror that these two selfish, self-entitled and painfully self-absorbed young men visited on the everyday lives of the pupils, teachers and parents of Columbine. The events leading up the attack and its hauntingly sad aftermath are studied in heart-breaking detail. My only criticism of this work is what I perceive to be the author's well-meaning but misguided attempts to portray Dylan Klebold as a kind, deep and thoughtful soul who longed for nothing more than the love and acceptance of his peers; he appears at some point to have lost sight of the fact that Klebold summarily executed five of these same peers in cold blood. Aside from this minor criticism I found the account to incredibly informative (there were many aspects of the attack that I was not aware of; for example it was intended by the perpetrators primarily to be a major bombing) and meticulously researched but my overriding emotion was one of great sadness for all those affected. I found the closing lines and the image it evoked to be particularly emotive. Highly recommended.

Profoundly moving

when a book is so well written and and thought out, that you can't put it down.

this book reads like a documentary, the author has done all his research.He had a well thought out book, from beginning to end. the side story's the aftermath, the victims and there family's, it's all in there.

the narrator has done a great job. his voice rises and falls and quicken given the effect of time, and horror.


I would recommend this book!

This was a real look at the truth of the often over sensationalised versions of the shootings at Columbine..

I disliked the authors choice to use teen slang in some passages but overall the book gives a pretty comprehensive look at everything that happened leading up to the event and the fallout afterwards.
