Reception
Caitlin M. Foyt of Central Michigan Life said that as a sixth grader, when she read the book, she "believed in it. She believed in herself and in her faith and I believed in her story." After the publication of a USA Today article titled "10 years later, the real story behind Columbine" which stated that the events did not happen, Foyt said "The fact that it’s not true makes me feel cheated and lied to. Misinterpretation of the truth on any scale has consequences, even 10 years down the road."

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””

First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
