On April 20, 1999 two boys, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold would change the world forever. Eric and Dylan were extremely close friends; they did everything together they even had the same views. They love gun’s and bomb’s, but one day they would show the world how much they love them. But on April 20, 1999 at 11:19 the halls would run with red…


There are many can't miss moments in this novel. The author captured each powerful moment by making each chapter a different point of view, for example the first chapter showed the shooting from the peoples point of view, in the second chapter they showed the event from a teachers point of view. By doing this it made the novel come more alive because many of the things that went on in the school weren't covered from the peoples point of view.

After reading this book I feel that it appeals to an audience of the ages from 15 years and up. There are many graphic details of the shooting and how kids were shot, but High School students need to know about this it is extremely important it has changed the school environment forever.

After completing this novel I feel that it deserves 4 stars. This novel was extremely eye opening, describing every detail down to the last bit. The only reason I felt that this book only deserved a 4 star was because the book was extremely long, but it was worth reading on to the end. I would for sure recommend this to anybody.
