Parkland: Birth of a Movement by Dave Cullen

4.0

A valuable, informative look into the aftermath of the Parkland shooting and the March for Our Lives and #NeverAgain movements. I remember hearing about the Parkland shooting last year, but since I am a busy working mother, sadly was not able to keep up to date with all of the developments that happened afterward; this book thankfully got me up to speed on these as well as profiling the key individuals involved. I am in awe of these young people and all of the hard work that they have done to further their cause. I understand Cullen's desire to make the book available a year after the inciting incident occurred and the results of the 2018 midterms feel like a natural endpoint, yet wish that there was a bit more distance between these events and the publication date to provide increased opportunity for reflection; while ample ground has been covered, there is still much work to be done with regard to gun control.
