I had a lot of answered questions after Columbine but after reading this book, I understand now what took place and why. I have a lot of respect for Sue Klebold and have to give her credit for the work she's doing around mental health issues to prevent suicide and improve understanding of depression in teens. Did you feel the same about the account?

Yes, I think this book definitely helped to explain Columbine more and gave me a better understanding of the whole situation. The sections on mental health issues were also very informative and helpful.

This book and Columbine will answer a lot of questions about this tragedy, especially since so much misleading and incorrect information was and is still floating around out there.
Marian
I did. Horrible violence, difficult topic. A lot of sincere respect for Mrs. Klebold for a speaking out, and for her tireless efforts to understand, and her work on behalf of "brain health" (loved her term & her reason for it - to show "mental" issues as biological, and to counter stigmatization.)
Victoria Kear
Yes, most definitely!
Courtney Laramore
Yes, I absolutely felt like I had a better understanding of everything and to hear it from Dylan's mom was such an inside look that really made you question everything. It was a wonderful book.
