it was amazing
bookshelves: nonfiction, black-authors

GENERAL:
- written by the Washington Post reporter who covered and was arrested in Ferguson
- extremely topical and relevant and compelling
- Everyone in America has to read this.

LIKES:
- the idea of citizen reporters, especially with the rise of social media, is so compelling.
- even though it was written with a lot of pathos and is really rhetorically charged, it doesn't feel like a rant. It's impressive how he struck a balance between urgency and raving.
- it was so well written, I didn't want to put it down.
- the college student protesters are so inspiring.

DISLIKES:
- being a reporter sounds like a terrible job. It seems so physically and emotionally draining.
