Anatomy of a Massacre

I tried, but couldn't get through the first chapter, no matter how many times I read it. It's a detailed step-by-step procedure of how to take apart a gun and put it back together. The authors knew their guns, now if they only knew how to write!

I am dieing to find out how come Hennard's mother didn't do something when he started stalking the neighbor's children. She may have had the last chance to prevent this maniac from going postal.
The authors didn't even explain Mrs. Hennard's reaction to the neighbor's fear. Did she not care?
I am amazed that Hennard would be stupid enough to write a love letter without even knowing whom he is stalking. Usually, stalkers are better informed.
How can you say, "I want to spend my life with you" and not know even the person's name? Duh!

If you are interested in a straight forward play- by-play of how the Luby's Cafeteria Massacre carried out, then this book is your first choice. From a detailed history of George Hennard and events leading up to his rampage to the aftermath that ensued, this book flows in an easy to read and gripping style. No prejudices or bias' are forced on the reader. The facts and people are presented as they were and you are left with many questions and conlusions. This is a superior review to modern day mass murder and to true crime in general. Pick it up if you love a good read.
