Negative Positive
Title: A well researched look at the aftermath of the bombing
Review: If you're looking for an introduction to the Oklahoma City Bombing, this isn't the book you want. The author is primarily concerned with the development of memorialization, and how the community processed an infamous tragedy. The information on the actual bombing (perpetrators, procedure, etc.) is minimal, and the author's approach is distinctly academic. The academic tone of the book is nicely balanced with personal anecdotes of survivors and family members, saving the book from being overly dry. Personally, I enjoyed the unique focus of the text, and believe that it would be useful for interpreting any memorial process.
Is the review positive or negative?
