I also thought "Columbine" was ...Ashley,<br /><br />I also thought "Columbine" was a great book until I started reading some of the negative reviews of it, including one written by Randy Brown, father of Brooks Brown who was a classmate and friend of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold. Brown says that the author Cullen got a lot of things wrong in his book and all but calls the book "Columbine" a 'work of fiction'. If you haven't read his review yet I recommend it. You can find it here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3AJEK6T7746K6/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm<br /><br />I also recommend reading (again, if you haven't already) "Comprehending Columbine" by Ralph Larkin. Larkin's book is markedly different from Cullen's; it's not a perfect book either as it too has some errors but I feel that overall it takes a much more accurate look into why Columbine happened and does a great job of analyzing what some considered a "toxic" atmosphere at Columbine High School.Lisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-372767831371107710.post-23041168768865952492009-12-29T18:49:50.383-06:002009-12-29T18:49:50.383-06:00Thanks, Ashley.
