Publisher's summary

On April 20, 1999, Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris, two seniors at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, walked into their school and shot to death twelve students and one teacher, and wounded many others. It was the worst single act of murder at a school in U.S. history.

Few people knew Dylan Klebold or Eric Harris better than Brooks Brown. Brown and Klebold were best friends in grade school, and years later, at Columbine, Brown was privy to some of Harris and Klebold’s darkest fantasies and most troubling revelations After the shootings, Brown was even accused by the police of having been in on the massacre—simply because he had been friends with the killers.

Brown with journalist Rob Merritt tells his full version of the story. He describes the warning signs that were missed or ignored, and the evidence that was kept hidden from the public after the murders. He takes on those who say that rock music or video games caused Klebold and Harris to kill their classmates and explores what it might have been that pushed these two young men, from supposedly stable families, to harbor such violent and apocalyptic dreams.

Shocking as well as inspirational and insightful, No Easy Answers is an authentic wake-up call for all the psychologists, authorities, parents, and law enforcement personnel who have attempted to understand the murders at Columbine High School. As the title suggests, the book offers no easy answers, but instead presents the unvarnished facts about growing up as an alienated teenager in America today.

This edition contains a new afterword that describes what has happened in the United States since Columbine, and provides updates on the aftermath of the massacre.

Insightful, Honest and Heartbreaking.

I just finished “No Easy Answers” by Author Brooks Brown on Audible narrated by Mr Christos… Well Done ! … This book blew me away. I was 19 years old when this happened and don’t remember all the details. This book is very insightful, honest and heartbreaking. The hard truth of how hard high school was at Columbine for some kids and what lead up to the horrific event. It opens your eyes to mental health in teens. As well as how everyone reacted afterwards, parents, law enforcement, school staff, etc… prayers for continued healing for everyone affected by Columbine.

Boring

Story is more about Brooks Brown's childhood - which is a pretty typical and boring childhood. He talks at length about how gifted he was in grade school and that the world is full of bullies and he grew up a victim. Could not listen to more than a couple boring chapters.
