I find it very unsettling that so many pastors used the tragedy is an excuse to recruit people. Whilr I understand the idea that church can be comforting, the ways that they went about it feels predatory.
The actions of the police in terms of not following up on the repeated warnings about Eric Harris, and the willful destruction of evidence and dragging their feet in releasing their report is reprehensible.
While incredibly informative, and thoughtfully written I don't know that I would recommend this book.

A difficult read at times and some points that felt over complicated and unimportant to the main story but otherwise a fascinating one.
