Among the Bros: A Fraternity Crime Story by Max Marshall

dark informative medium-paced

3.0

The criminal enterprise detailed in this book is fascinating, but Marshall falls short in really examining the underpinnings of what is about frat life that made its members into drug kingpins. There are definitely moments in the book where Marshall starts to explore that question, but then he pulls back and by the end, I never really felt like I got a true examination that made this particular case worthy of an entire book (as opposed to a longform article). This could have truly been outstanding if Marshall had been willing to really dive into the culture of both the south and Greek life head first.
