I wouldn't rely too heavily on Cullen's book for 100% facts, he's discredited by most communities that have a common morbid interest into the shooting. I do recommend the following if you're still curious for more about the incident after reading his novel.
http://www.acolumbinesite.com/ - an extremely informative site that appeared the day after the shootings. It has the most information out of anywhere else I've seen about the event.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNyX90HKWTM&feature=youtu.be - Informative documentary about the shooting. Doesn't have everything, but it's definitely interesting.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007PS0Q3Q/ - Brooks Brown's autobiography with an emphasis on the shooting and the events that took place before and after. Highly recommend, it was a great read and it definitely helped me find answers.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1101902752 - Susan Klebold's novel; the mother of Dylan Klebold. Haven't gotten around to reading this one yet, but from what I've heard it's very informative and interesting.
Hope I helped you (or anyone else) learn more about the tragedy.
I also highly recommend Sue Klebold's memoir, though I found it so emotionally heavy I couldn't bear to finish it. Maybe I'll get back to it someday.
I love to read stuff like that too. My family always looks at me strange because I like reading about serial killers. The psychology behind what they do fascinates me.
Here is Sue Klebold's book. It's really well written:

I will have to check out Brain on Fire. I haven't heard anything about that one.
Like you said, so many victims get overlooked because they're not the right race or socioeconomic status. Or their family isn't invested in them.
It might be worth revisiting Columbine for yourself, because there was a lot of reactionary hate there as well, not just 'oh killing our bullies'.
Klebold's mom released a book earlier this year, and she's talked about making public the tapes she found of her son talking with Harris for prrrrrretty much exactly this reason.
