Publisher Description

On April 20, 1999, Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris, two seniors at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, walked into their school and shot to death twelve students and one teacher, and wounded many others. It was the worst single act of murder at a school in U.S. history. Few people knew Dylan Klebold or Eric Harris better than Brooks Brown. Brown and Klebold were best friends in grade school, and years later, at Columbine, Brown was privy to some of Harris and Klebold's darkest fantasies and most troubling revelations. After the shootings, Brown was even accused by the police of having been in on the massacre—simply because he had been friends with the killers. Now, for the first time, Brown, with journalist Rob Merritt, gets to tell his full version of the story. He describes the warning signs that were missed or ignored, and the evidence that was kept hidden from the public after the murders. He takes on those who say that rock music or video games caused Klebold and Harris to kill their classmates and explores what it might have been that pushed these two young men, from supposedly stable families, to harbor such violent and apocalyptic dreams. Shocking as well as inspirational and insightful, No Easy Answers is an authentic wake-up call for all the psychologists, authorities, parents, and law enforcement personnel who have attempted to understand the murders at Columbine High School. As the title suggests, the book offers no easy answers, but instead presents the unvarnished facts about growing up as an alienated teenager in America today. This edition contains a new afterword that describes what the two authors have experienced and learned about Columbine since the publication of the book.

Such a great book

I just finished it and I expect to be reading it over again soon. It was a very good book! I kind of began to loose interest towards the end but I was pulled back in by the time I reached the last chapter. This is so much better than Dave Cullen's book. Brooks brings us a whole new outlook on the Columbine shooting. He knew the shooters first hand so we really get to know the real Eric and Dylan. Not the monsters that the public media painted them as. Great job Brooks. Five stars. I would give you ten but it doesn't give me the option.

Cover

The cover art on this ebook incorrectly appears square. I expect better attention to detail from Apple.

GREAT READ

I literally couldn’t put this book down! I was hanging on for more. I felt like I got to know the history of Dylan as a kid to what he turned into, their were many signs of what was to come, then again I was 11 when Columbine happened. It was a TikTok page that I assumed was posted on the 20th of April which marked the 23rd anniversary of the shooting that got me interested about Columbine and wanted to get a more understanding about what happened.
