Columbine is a book put out by Twelve. It is one of my favorite publishing houses because they only put out twelve new books a year. They give their attention to promoting those select authors and their work. It is a smaller imprint of Hachette books, but it is such a great idea. If a Twelve book seems remotely interesting to me it gets pushed over the edge because it's been selected by Twelve and thus probably worth my time. Hence....Columbine. Not the cheeriest of topics.

I was in high school the year this happened and it was facsincating to hear the story told years after the fact and to realize that I never really learned what happend. It was a tragedy that I only heard snippets of and believed everything I heard. It seems that is how a lot of people remember Columbine, through the headlines and news clips that spread speculated information about the murders.

It was structured in an interesting way, with fair treatment given to the murderers, the victims, the parents and the city.
