I was in grade school when the events of Columbine happened. There was no way to escape the horrendous details that happened at Columbine. I still have snapshot memories associated with the news reports. The events at Columbine have always made me queasy but I have always wanted to learn more.

This book was horrifying but beautifully researched. I have to admit, I've owned this book for many years and I finally sat down and read/listened to it. Honestly, this was one of the hardest books I have ever listened to.

I would recommend this book to many people. It's a fascinating read for any fan of true crime, criminology, social psychology, and general sociology.

Description of murder (0 more)
One by one
My friend recommended this book to me and man, I could not be more grateful!!! Chris Carter is by far my favourite author.
It's been a while since a book had such an effect on me, as this one.
Detective Robert Hunter has to catch a sick murder, who broadcasts the murders, while getting the public to vote on how the victims are going to die.
Knowing how powerful social media is nowadays, I know that if this was to happen for real, people would vote and that scares me.
Seriously, the best description of murder ever.
I highly recommend this book to any true crime lover.

Well done
This low budget thriller was quite the find. It's a very thought provoking, emotionally stirring tale about a teenage boy who starts to realize that his "all american dad" might be a serial killer. The acting was good and the cinematography was decent enough. The story was the shining glory here. It unfolded beautifully and is a wonderful example of how a movie can be EXTREMELY good even without a big Hollywood budget. Everything fell into place perfectly throughout and it even had a bit of a twist at the end. Nothing too gory or flashy in this one but I highly recommend it. Especially if you're into "true crime" style movies. Worth a watch!

I don't binge watch shows in general, unless they're true crime. I find Greg Daniels, the creator, very hit or miss.
This was a hit, and was already renewed for a 2nd season. In the not so distant future, people can live beyond death when their consciousness is uploaded to a cloud. Nathan, played by Robbie Arnell, dies in a strange and suspect car crash, and his slightly crazy fiance, who is basically a horrible, annoying person has him uploaded to the cloud.
Andy Allo, who plays Nathan's 'Guardian Angel', was the stand out for me. The angels are essentially customer service reps.
This series was funny, and a very quick watch. I highly recommend it.

"This is such a fiery and entertaining crime film. It’s epic yet completely domestic and simple. While it’s somewhat of a departure from his canon, Kurosawa’s stamp is everywhere. He manages to expertly adapt American source material and place it in Japan (the irony, of course, being that America would adapt his stories for years to follow).Passionate, personal, and uplifting documentary filmmaking. This is a true example of the power of the art form, and a terrific movie too. Rarely do you find filmmakers with such an insight to the world of sports, and the ability to examine the personal politics that run underneath it. This should be required viewing for any sports or film fan."
