Columbine by David Cullum. Chris Wood says: Ten years on from the 1999 school massacre, how two troubled boys terrorized a town. Amazon reader review: "To rate five stars, a book should be memorable, thoroughly researched, and well-written. The reader should be absorbed into the book to the point that he/she and the author have a "shared experience" and the reader should be changed in some way by that experience. Dave Cullin succeeds on all counts. Columbine is a riveting narrative. He addresses many myths that the press created in the first moments after the tragedy and that most of us still believe. He also defends his premise -- that Eric Harris wasn't bullied, but a bully and a psychopath -- very well with ample substantiation. I recommend this book." The Snakehead: An Epic Tale of the Chinatown Underworld and the American Dream by Patrick Radden Keef. Chris Wood says: The gangs behind the ill-fated 1993 voyage of The Golden Venture and it’s human cargo. Washington post quote: "This is one of the freshest accounts of modern-day migration I've read, one filled with moral ambiguity, one that doesn't pretend to have the answers, one that in these times feels like essential reading."
