Parkland: Birth of a Movement by Dave Cullen

3.0

This book is more like a 3.5 star read. I love Dave Cullen’s reporting and writing style. This book is thorough and incredibly well researched. I had a good time getting a more in depth idea of the March for our lives movement and I’m really grateful for that education. The reason this isn’t a 5 star read for me is it get really bogged down in the weeds at around the 50% piece and felt like a slog to keep reading. I enjoyed seeing it pan out and finish but parts of this book feel unnecessary. I 100000% recommend Cullen’s first book titled Columbine, and I think if you want more of his journalistic style and further discussion on gun violence this would be a good follow up.
