Disappointed in the Format
I was really looking forward to this book but was let down by the formatting issues. Some of the text felt cramped and hard to read, which took away from the content. I hope they fix that in future editions!

Thoughtful but Slow at Times
This book has some really great insights into Alice Dunnigan's life, but it felt a bit slow in certain chapters. I loved the historical context, yet sometimes I wished it would get to the point a bit quicker. Still worth a read if you're into journalism!

A Great Read for History Buffs
If you're a history enthusiast, you'll appreciate this book! Alice's reporting during the Civil Rights Movement is covered beautifully. It's well-written and informative, though I found a few sections a bit dense. But overall, it's solid!

Highlighting an Unsung Hero
Alice Dunnigan deserves way more recognition and this biography does an amazing job of shining a spotlight on her contributions. I bought it for my book club, and it sparked some great discussions. Just a bit lengthy in parts!
