About Dave Cullen's "Columbine." Call it "conjecture" or a "work of fiction." But what Cullen has done in 200 pages (I haven't finished yet) is give the events of what happened at Columbine a more realistic feel. To those of us growing up in a CNN infused media where reporters often spin more lies in the first twenty minutes of breaking news, it's refreshing to hear a journalist admit they screwed up...And it's daring that he's taken ten years to sit down and try to piece together WHY the event happened. It's daring, it's surprising, and it's ballsy.
It's also a very worthy followup to Lehane's "Shutter Island."
After this, I'm going to read "Never Let Me Go" again. They're turning it into a movie starring Keira Knightly and Carey Mulligan (seriously loving her style right now)...and I need to brush up on its awesomeness before its release.
