Amazon.com: Columbine eBook: Dave Cullen: Kindle Store:
Written by Dave Cullen, read by Don Leslie, this 14-hour audio book never once releases the taut narrative tension with which it opens. This tells a story far different from the myths perpetrated by media and evangelical churches at the time of the tragedy. It's a complex and frightening story, filled with psychopathic behavior, media myth-making, church martyr-making, institutional cover-ups, understandable parental confusion, anger and frustration.
What's remarkable, in this largely unflattering look at our species, is that a few genuine heroes emerge: a dedicated FBI agent who refuses to embrace easy answers; a high school victim told he will never walk again and who a few years later dances at his wedding; and, I would say, the author, for his thorough investigation from day one to put together, after ten years, a comprehensive and dramatic analysis of this complex event. The reading by Leslie is masterful. These 14 hours pass quickly.
