Parkland by Dave Cullen

medium-paced

3.0

 Dave Cullen's journalistic skills shine far brighter in Parkland: Birth of a Movement than in Columbine. My biggest gripe about Columbine was that Cullen attempted to juggle far too many aspects of the story at the same time, resulting in some shoddy sourcing (particularly in discussion of the shooters lives and personalities) and overall questionable decisions in the writing process. Parkland, however, is a straightforward and engrossing story from beginning to end. It's fast-paced yet informative at the same time, though the writing style can be somewhat dry. You would have to read more books on the topic in order to get a truly comprehensive understanding of the MSD shooting and March For Our Lives, but Cullen has created a great introductory reading to the topic.
