This book was very interestingly written, telling the story from many angles to achieve as complete a picture as possible. At the time of Columbine, there were issues with the media reporting incorrect information and later there were police cover-ups, and I felt that these topics were not glossed over nor blown out of proportion, which I liked.
I really appreciated the progression of the book, doing some jumping around in time to reveal both what led to the event and the fallout/aftermath. This arrangement allowed the pieces to come together over the whole story-line, not just a lot of 'pre' and 'post' bracketing NBK. I felt that this helped pace the book and provided times to reflect and times of anxiety and buildup.
Well researched, I thought it was very thorough and respectful.
