On April 20, 1999, two Colorado teenagers went on a shooting rampage at Columbine High School. That day, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed twelve fellow students and a teacher, as well as wounding twenty-four other people, before they killed themselves. Although there have been other books written about the tragedy, this is the first serious, impartial investigation into the cultural, environmental, and psychological causes of the massacre.Based on first-hand interviews and a thorough reading of the relevant literature, Ralph Larkin examines the complex of factors that led the two young men to plan and carry out their deed. For Harris and Klebold, Larkin concludes, the carnage was an act of revenge against the "jocks" who had harassed and humiliated them, retribution against evangelical students who acted as if they were morally superior, an acting out of the mythology of right-wing paramilitary organization members to "die in a blaze of glory," and a deep desire for notoriety.Rather than simply looking at Columbine as a crucible for all school violence, Larkin places the tragedy in its proper context, and in doing so, examines its causes and meaning.

5,0 su 5 stelle By far THE most imformative book written on the massacre...
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 12 gennaio 2012
Acquisto verificato
Columbine: a label pertaining to an evil that has never been fully understood. But why? Even after ten years, most of the mainstream media has shed little light on the subject. Endless documentaries, countless writings. Over ten thousand pages of official police files. A new book ushered in as the "defenitive narrative we have of the killings". Yet, how come the puzzle seems far from complete? Actually, it has been finished. But our society refuses to look directly at it and decipher the contents correctly. Only a small few have taken the time to do so, rightly letting go of biases in favor of gaining the knoweledge needed to explain the events of April 20th, 1999. This author is one of them.

The opening text describes the moments leading up to the shooting (which itself was intended as a bombing), as Eric David Harris and Dylan Bennet Klebold carry out the murders. It is gripping, scary, but insightful and does not stray from the exact details. Jeff Kass' opening does a considerable job doing so as well, but Mr. Larkin's is not at all confusing and highly explicit for both the casual and experienced reader. You can literally picture being at the scene of the crime, and this is a benefit I regard as most important in feeling the tension, grief, and horror of public depravity. Just when you are intrigued, and can't stop turning page after page, bare bone facts submerge before your eyes.

Ralph Larkin literally goes no holds barred, in his interviews with the faculty, staff, and even students from both extremes of the social cliques in order to present his case, which becomes the ultimate plausible case. We hear of the myths and truths which many have claimed were revealed by the recent works of Cullen and Slate.com (which is perposterous considering Larkin's book came about two and a half years beforehand). In "Comprehending Columbine", we learn and for the first time feel exactly who these two misguided and delusional young men were. Eric was monstrous, yes. Klebold was soaked in depression. Yes, they had a huge group of friends. Yes, Dylan went to the prom. Yes, Eric had lots of dates. But you have got to do the full research to know just how far these facts go. For example, Eric was found to be an attractive adolescent, and girls did perk up to him... until they got to know him as a person and backed off due to his agression and inability to hold a lasting relationship, which in turn fueled his hatred. He lived off this hate for so long, it ate him up. Eric became a twisted individual, and CANNOT be labeled a psychopath as that term itself is not broad enough to explain his motives. He lived in a world which seemed to be in constant war. Harris himself grew into a hypocritical, lying and cunning individual, but he was not born that way. By all means, the true story of his growth into the infamous killer he is known today is shocking, but makes sense in every way. We just have to be willing to admit this country has a knack to be such a poisonous central for our youth.

Like "Going Postal" by Mark Ames (a great critique I highly reccomend purchasing), this book is a most informative piece, a strong commentary that does the incident justice. Complete, accurate facts written with an open mind. A worthy book which sadly has been overshadowed by the recent success known as "Columbine", yet remains THE best source out there in the market today. An accomplishment that deserves far more praise than it gets. Buy it.

4,0 su 5 stelle A few issues, but overall a solid book on the subject
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 15 agosto 2009

If you are looking for a book with new theories, FBI reports, shocking pictures, then this is not the Columbine book for you. However, if you are looking for an academic book on the subject with an author who conducted numerous hours of research in the field that has a solid basis in empirical evidence, then you should read "Comprehending Columbine." Dr. Larkin presents scholarly approach to topic that can be controversial.

As a former high school social studies teacher, now full-time graduate student getting my second Masters in Criminal Justice, my topic is homophobic bullying and how it leads to school violence. Hence Columbine is a part of my thesis. In the past four months gathering research for my thesis, I have read nearly every book and academic article on school shooters and "Comprehending Columbine" did give me some useful insights into Klebold and Harris' motives, Columbine's toxic atmosphere and added more infomation to my own research. My only complaint and the reason I did not give the book 5 stars is that Dr. Larkin in the first six chapters of the book kept referring to Eric Harris' web site as the "Trenchcoat Mafia" web site, which is not correct. As Dr. Larkin explained in later chapters, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold were not members of the Trenchcoat Mafia, they only knew people who were. That incorrect fact was my one pet peeve with the book.

So, if you are looking for a book the Columbine tragedy that has solid writing, excellent resources and examines the shooting in depth, I suggest buying Dr. Larkin's book. If you want to read more on the topic, then buy others like Dave Cullen's or Jeff Kass' as supplemental reading on the subject.

Opening of the book, describing Littleton's demographics and delving into high school bullying was interesting, but the author's attitude towards other people who have written on this subject was patronizing – to say the least. He makes assumptions on very shaky basis and seems to lack healthy sceptisism on some claims (eg. the chatroom).
It's an interesting read as in "someone might think this way" and how bullying can be going on even if school officials deny it. But if you're looking for actual information on Columbine, there are other, more suitable books.
