12/14/2012, Sandy Hook Elementary School, Newtown, Connecticut
We remember the numbers: 20 children and six adults, murdered in a place of nurture and trust. We remember the names: Teachers like Victoria Soto, who lost her life protecting her students. A shooter named Adam Lanza. And we remember the questions: Outraged conjecture instantly monopolized the worldwide response to the tragedy, while the truth went missing.
Here is the definitive journalistic account of Newtown, an essential examination of the facts - not only of that horrific day but the perfect storm of mental instability and obsession that preceded it and, in the aftermath of unspeakable heartbreak, the controversy that continues to play out on the national stage. Drawn from previously undisclosed emails, police reports, and in-depth interviews, Newtown: An American Tragedy breaks through a miasma of misinformation with its comprehensive and astonishing portrayal.
This is the vital story that must be told today if we are to prevent another American tragedy in the days to come.
A portion of the proceeds from this audiobook will be donated to the Avielle Foundation.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I would with caution. This book is not forthcoming.Would you be willing to try another book from Matthew Lysiak? Why or why not?
No. He is not a particularly good writer and his research is lacking.Which character – as performed by Adam Verner – was your favorite?
Really? This does not seem to apply.If this book were a movie would you go see it?
No. This has a bit too much pablum.Any additional comments?
There were too many times in this narrative, where they said such patent things like - and she/he were highly dedicated blah blah blah - compliment and sanctify the dead teachers. That is not to say they may not have been such people, but if the writer had done better research they could have said it with aplomb. This seems to have been written to protect the guilty and sanctify the victims. It does not ring true to me. What are they not saying?Tragedy Superficially Written

I know it's necessary, but I don't like to talk about the killer. Those chapters I tended to skip through.
A real life nightmare
