this book goes into exhaustive, extensive detail about these shootings, yet the author couldn’t double check to make sure ‘this sure beats algebra, doesn’t it?’ was actually a line from the stephen king novel “rage”? i see where this book is out of print, and there’s another edition republished.. hopefully where this part is corrected? not a massive deal, just funny that that’s the one slip-up.

regardless, this seems fairly accurate and not biased or too prose.. although i don’t know much about lieberman if anything, outside of this singular book. it does ask itself all the necessary questions of how and why crimes like these happen and who causes them, albeit some answers shorter and vaguer than others (the author even states himself, if it was that simple to answer, there wouldn’t need to be an entire book on it.), condensed into a hefty 350~ pages. perhaps my feelings would change if i read more into the specific cases mentioned that i am not familiar with.
