It's a decent read. I read it as a child, and cried and felt creeped out at the descriptions of the metal boxes and the train ride(s) etc... I question the article-authors premise (copycat killing) and the conventional wisdom that this particular event triggered it all... in anything the article-authors premise shows even more so how the conventional wisdom is silly and easily tipped... one doesn't have singular causes for WWI (which more or less leads to WW2 by continuation, due to unresolved issues, war reparations debts forced by an unrealistic treaty of versailles leading to the failure of the weimar republic etc) so, yeah, the person calling for Gavrilo Princips hanging below= kinda silly... let's keep some perspective folks.
