Columbine (Dave Cullen) - 464 pages

A really impressive books that shows just how much the police, the press and the media fucked up. And how many false information is still out there about this school shooting and the things that happened before, during and after.

9/10


Beautiful Boy ( David Sheff) - (audio) 11 hours 29 minutes

While it is a great look into how the famalies of drug addicts suffer along, this book was just a little too full of stuff that was more emotional cleansing of a father than insightful information.
The book could have been done well, if only half as long and more to the point

6/10


Smile or Die (Barbara Ehrenreich) - 256 pages

The first chapter about breast cancer and the fake positive attitude in support groups was great. Evedrything that came after that was filler.
I think the author missed the mark by trying to make the subject too broad, rather than sticking to the theme that inspired her to write this in the first place.

3/10
