O resultado de oito anos de estudo para tentar entender o que levou dois jovens de classe média a cometer o maior massacre já registrado em uma escola dos Estados Unidos. Recriando minuto a minuto do dia 20 de abril de 1999, o autor tenta montar o quebra cabeça para solucionar um crime motivado apenas pelo ódio. I think I decided to read this book because it offered an answer as to why two teenage boys decided to attack their school with guns and bombs. I know it's really not good for me to get caught up in gruesome details (Jeff said I shouldn't read it), but the why weighed on my mind, even ten years after the event. So this book came out with its haunting cover and I read it and now I do feel like I understand better why they did it. Am I happy I read it? Not really. But it was very gripping and thorough. It debunked a lot of myths about the Columbine massacre, and was easy to understand even though it jumped around in time a lot. I wouldn't recommend it unless you're sincerely interested in tragedy and/or being depressed. Great book. Sad but I am glad I read it. I think this is an important book. I really goes into what is and isn't true about one of the greatest American tragedies. I didn't think i would be able to read it all the way trough without taking a break. This wasn't true. The author lays out the scope and sequence very well. I found myself compelled to keep reading. PremiosDistincionesListas Notables
La vida deja de tener sentido para Margaret Oakland cuando sacrifica doce anos de profundo amor por el bien de sus subditos y acepta casarse con quien ha pagado las deudas de su familia, a pesar de que lo aborrezca como al culpable de haberla obligado a renunciar al que siempre ha amado... Y cuando este, Richard Ryvers, reaparece en su vida infinitamente mas apuesto y viril de como lo recordaba, el deber duele mas todavia, hasta el punto de querer romper lo irrompible: su matrimonio. Querra Edmund, su marido, renunciar a ella, o luchara por retenerla y enamorarla de el cueste lo que cueste? En una realidad donde pocas cosas son lo que parecen, resistira Margaret a los encantos de su esposo, o seguira luchando por que Richard, el que le habia robado el corazon en el pasado, vuelva a formar parte de su vida?

The author takes us through the years before and after the Columbine tragedy, through the eyes of the teenage killers in the form of their journals, through the community in the form of interviews, police reports, and court records. It's a shocking awakening into how the action of several hours changed the face of America forever. ( )
