So, for what it is (juvenile non-fiction), I think this book does a fine job. I'm glad it didn't shy away from some things (such as being beaten at a protest by a POLICE OFFICER and sustaining horrific injuries), but was still craving more information than I should expect to find in an 85 pg book designed for middle schoolers.

Don't worry. I have the documentary, "Dolores" at home waiting for me :)
