This book has raving reviews on amazon and yes it is a good report but maybe that is just it. A report by a journalist What happened how those kids came under the influence of Simon, is a question I did not get any answers to. I would have liked to see more information about the boys. the story of the crime was told in 2 pages. I do think it was worth the read and glad I sticked with it. Felt sorry for the murderer of Tony. no reviews | add a review
On a frigid New Year's Eve, just twenty months after the Columbine massacre, three teenage boys carefully plotted the murder of a schoolmate and his grandparents at their mountain hideaway outside of Colorado Springs. The boys' leader, Simon Sue, was responsible for strong-arming the others into believing they were members of a secret paramilitary organization-and that their very lives depended on successfully executing the organization's "mission."Simon Says tells the page-turning story of how these boys' lives could have gone so horribly astray, how their parents assumed all was right in their sons' lives, and what the fallout of the grisly murders was on all the families. Through painstaking research, journalist Kathryn Eastburn gets into the minds of these boys to reveal a place where the rites of passage to young manhood, to acceptance, come at an exorbitant price.
