I hate to complain about a book written by the grieving parents, but it probably could have used a little more original content and less quoting from speeches and proceedings.
As emotionally difficult it was to read this book (especially in public places), I can't begin to imagine how difficult it must have been for these parents to relive their most tragic moments in writing this book.
The only complaint I would have for this book is just the fact that it is so repetitive but understandable because the same thing is happening but just told a little bit of a different way by each … The book takes us beyond the news cycle and familiar images to give the account that only his parents can offer: the story of the beautiful and complex child they lost, the cruel unresponsiveness of the police and the hostility of the legal system, and an inspiring … Rest in power, Trayvon.Rest in power, Trayvon. Those are the first three words I thought of to describe this retelling of events from his parent's point of view. Devastating. To not only lose their child, but watch the murderer’s defense put their son on trial, and then get away with This was really hard to read. But even as I put it down, because it was just too hard to read after yet another shooting or unnecessary death, I also kept going back to it and felt encouraged remembering where this movement really began, how important it is, and why some seem determined to re-label groups like Black Lives Matter as “terrorist” groups or football players taking the knee as “anti-American” for their own partisan reasons while ignoring the real reason for protest.I want to beg every person I know to read this book. I watched it most days and was completely horrified by the details of the case. The only complaint I would have for this book is just the fact that it is so repetitive but understandable because the same thing is happening but just told a little bit of a different way by each parent.
I think the parents were so caught up and used to dealing with the media that the single book reading audience was overlooked. We need to be asking ourselves what we can do within our power to stop tragedies like this from occurring (and surprisingly the answer is lots).
Living in Australia I was not aware of the Trayvon Martin case. This story is so tragic, and unjust that it is hard to even begin to write a review. It may require cleanup to comply with Wikipedia's It's difficult to rate the tragic retelling of the murder of a teenager, especially when written by his parents. While there are some people who claim race had nothing to do with this case, I would be inclined to point out their naivety and list all the reasons why it WAS. Those are the first three words I thought of to describe this retelling of events from his parent's point of view. 0812997239 The shooter was quickly released, but Trayvon's parents fought to have him tried in a court of law: "Six and a half years ago, Trayvon Martin was murdered - A 17 year old walking home in the rain on a Sunday night in late February, wearing a hoodie, with a bag of Skittles and a can of Arizona iced tea. A devastating memoir by parents who are incredibly strong. I have no other words at the moment.Emotional and necessary read.
The story was interesting with lots of informative information. A child - A CHILD - murdered.
Where the book lost me and and earned only a 3 star review in my opinion was that it was too long. I would definitely recommend it though. To have to bury your child under any circumstance, is devastating. I have no words for the pain and suffering of his parents, Sybrina and Tracy, and his brother and family and friends.
I finished the last sentence and simply stared at my kindle, then at the wall, and then back at my kindle. I can only empathize and give them kudos for standing up for their son and telling the story. This book will break your heart.This was really hard to read.

Even if you think you know the facts of the Trayvon Martin case, you don't know all of them because our media and our justice system failed this family. Trayvon Martin’s case was mishandled from the start.
