Not sure if this book is for me. Although it could be that I've taken so long to read 200 pages that I've just forgotten what's going on. With a book that has 1000+ pages, though, you kind of have to stick with it for a little while!

So far, not terrible. The premise is intriguing--I like the mythology involved, although sometimes (especially with Ry) I find it quite overdone. Isadora's name is the stereotypical unique-but-not-too-unique name you find with a lot of fanfiction-y OCs, and the same goes for Ry and Tyler. I've yet to find any real flaws in Isadora, which is also typical of fanfiction.

Like I said, this was a really informative and helpful in understanding what actually happened. I had no idea what was going on, since I was so young. Greenspan obviously did her research, and her interviews with the big players were amazing.

As someone who was in the 5th grade in 2001, the book is turning out to be particularly helpful in understanding just what was even going on after 9/11. The history is solid, and the personal aspect of the interviews with victims' families brings a sense of reality to the events.

That said, the author seems to have some sort of allergy to semicolons and an affinity for sentence fragments.

Sometimes you share bathroom reading books with your SO, and that's okay.
