These books while disturbing have always facinated me. And I feel people should be educated in the warning signs of a child about to snap. Our children have a lot more to deal with in life today than we ever thought about at these young ages, with the peer pressure for drugs we never even heard of, to friends handing them guns and telling them to fix their problems, to internet ready recipies for bombs. It's a crazy world out there and one we should all be prepared to face no matter how scary.
