This is a fascinating look at the details surrounding the 1999 school shooting in Littleton, CO. David Cullen spent 10 years analyzing information, and it really shows in the quality and depth of material. Some of the many interesting details that are included: information about school personnel, information about the shooters, information about the victims, information about how and when police/SWAT/FBI entered the school and how they responded, information about the immediate reaction and the ongoing reaction, etc.
The information is put together cohesively, and the book is so well written. I did not once feel like I was reading through endless facts. In fact, even though I knew the outcome, I still felt caught up in knowing what would happen next. Cullen sheds light on some common misconceptions about many aspects of the shooting (and the shooters themselves), and it really just makes for an enlightening read. Highly recommended!
