Patrick F BrowerKILLDOZER: The True Story of the Colorado Bulldozer Rampage

Not much to say, other than it is a book worth reading.,

"A false conclusion once arrived at and widely accepted is not easily dislodged and the less it is understood the more tenaciously it is held." George CantorI am former resident of Granby, and had done business with Marv.I believe Marvs actions were despicable, however, my distrust of government and the media in general allowed me to believe what was not true, that Marv had been black balled and mistreated by the local government. It's good to finally get things straight.The book is informative and should be read, at least, by everyone in Grand County, no matter which side of the fence you fall on.I received the book on Friday evening and finished it by Saturday evening. I was hard to put down. A very good, well written book.

I ordered this book after watching the Netflix documentary. Given the author's relationship to the story, I expected it to be rather one sided and found that to be the case. While the book is, technically speaking, fairly well written and holds the readers attention, the overall tone tends to come across as the town's PR department attempting to do damage control while sanitizing the reputation of the town officials and local bigwigs involved. It does a fairly decent job of narrating the timeline of the actual rampage and the immediate aftermath and includes some good pictures, but if you are looking for an objective account of the events leading up to it that tells both sides of the story, you won't find it here.On an unrelated note, the author obviously has no clue about firearms and didn't bother to try to learn. I won't list all of the numerous examples but will say the description of the SWAT officers carrying automatic weapons "with clips bulging with ammo" actually made me laugh out loud.

Having narrowly escaped the destruction of his Sky-Hi News building, editor-publisher Patrick Brower is uniquely situated to tell the story of the 2004 bulldozer rampage that devastated the normally quiet town. His detailed, clear-headed look at the event (and the months and years leading up to it) tells an arresting story, and offers cogent analysis of Marvin Heemeyer's entitled, pathological rampage. On a personal note, I'd vacationed in Colorado and driven through peaceful Granby only a few months before, and I recall watching news footage of the rampage in mesmerised horror. "Killdozer" is an important read, and a worthy addition to any bookshelf as commentary on the current epidemic of mass violence in our country.

Well written. But a pretty biased view. I could’ve done without the authors imagined conversations Marv had with himself and the psychobabble at the end. However a quick read and informative..just too biased for me

I found this to be an engaging and revealing discussion and analysis of the infamous "killdozer" incident- and furthermore, an interesting discussion of the media and social landscape we see more and more of these days as people seek to immortalize certain figures or ideas with little regard for the facts.

Nice paper back book. As far as subject material goes I was only hoping for facts and trivia. My expectations were self set very low considering the author and their associations. Its a bit like reading a book about Richard Petty if written by Ralph Nader.

Loved this story! I've had a personal connection with Grand Lake and Granby for over 50 years and could picture every moment. Well written, I believe accurate, and full of suspense. Highly recommend!
