Summary: Impactful book, which causes powerful reactions
Comment: I purchased this book at an airport, looking for a way to spend my time between Boston and Denver after the laptop battery fails. I live in Denver, and like most people here experienced the horrible event of Columbine High School personally. The events of that day will be a defining moment for many of our young people.
In this book, a mother writes honestly about her daughter, Cassie Bernall, who was a teen-ager killed at Columbine High School. It seems there is some controversy over whether or not Cassie was actually killed because she stated her belief in God, but it is indisputable that she had turned her life and heart to following Jesus Christ, after some years of dabbling in witchcraft. The book tells of a mother's concern, and the lengths she went to provide a stable environment for her daughter. Like most teen-agers (how did any of us make it through those years without scars?), Cassie was searching for a sense of belonging, and ended up with a crowd of equally dis-enfranchised youths searching for meaning in dead end self destructive lifestyles. Her parents went to considerable lengths to try to help her daughter through this period without causing too much damage to herself or family.
I was impressed with the honesty of this book, in terms of her parents. The mother speaks of how hard it was to know what to do, and the risks all parents must take in further alienating their children by setting strong boundaries.
The book is well written, and flows smoothly. With a little embarrassment I let tears run down my cheeks on the airplane while reading. The story is very powerful. Ignore the reviews posted here by bitter cynical people looking for conspiracy, and read this book. The book is honest, emotionally powerful, and touching.

Summary: She Said Yes
Comment: " She Said Yes," a book about Cassie Brunell. This book is about a 17 year old girl in the 11th grade at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado named Cassie Brunell. The author begins by taking the reader to the Columbine High School campus on that infamous day April 20, 1999. That morning at 11:20 am two crazed student gun men walked into the school library and opened fire. While they were shooting they picked out people they did not like and one of them was Cassie. They held their guns to her head and asked if she believed in God and she answered "yes". Because of Cassie's courage to say "yes" she was shot in the head. Then the book talked about her life as she was a little girl up to that terrible day. It tells about how she was leading the same life style as the gun men until two years before the shooting. That's when her parents enrolled her in a different school, Columbine High. Cassie got involved in church and later even began to lead bible studies and youth groups. This book made me wonder, what if I were in her position? What would I say? What would I do? I pray that my faith would be as strong as Cassie's. This book is a very heart warming book. I encourage everyone to read this great book.

Summary: Hypocritic
Comment: I have to say that the Columbine massacre was and still is a horrible tragedy. I can't even imagine what pain those affected went through.
However, I still fail to see what it is that so many people love in this book. I read it in one day, so it was still fresh in my mind when I finished and took time to reflect.
This book is written as a sympathy novel for those 'poor Christian matyrs' out there. I'll take this time to remind you that Christianity is the most wide spread religion on the planet and that it is also one of the most bloody.
Think about the bravery that all of those witches had to have when they were burned at the stake for believing in what they did. Or all the gays in the world that live through Hell everyday.
I don't know if this holds true in Colorado, but here in the Bible Belt, it takes real courage to NOT be Christian. If it was allowed, I'm sure all the kids in my school would have burned me alive by now. And I'm sure some of the teachers would have joined in, too.
This book wasn't terrible, I just find it to be hypocritical. Her mom was pretty biased too. Just though I'd throw that out at you.
