This book got me through the worst breakup of my life

"I simply cannot recommend this book enough. It is a 'self-help' psychology book I suppose, but it is so much more than that. It is funny, witty, and more than anything: helpful. Whether you are in a relationship (happy or struggling), or recently single, this book will help you learn things about yourself you've never known. I hope this helps you our with 'your favorite Martian,' or 'your favorite Venusian.'" -from my Bookstagram account, rorythereader

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.

I enjoyed this book particularly the questions it raises about human nature and how we will behave and react in certain situations.

From the description it was easy to guess part of the stories big reveal, however the how we get there and what was going on with each person.

I can’t say I ever particularly warmed to Rory as a character but I’m not sure why. She just seemed quite whiny and overall just average.

I would have liked more of a look at the psychology behind the characters and why they acted the way they did. I also felt the ending was a bit rushed with trying to recap and finish every story.
