You will read a lot of reviews of this book wanting to berate the Bush administration for how it handled this natural disaster, and that is understandable as there are hard lessons to be learnt and some many would rather not face or accept. I preferred to reflect on this book as a magnificently inspiring and emotional account of what one man and his family experienced during this terrible time. In my opinion Dave Eggers has not written a book under 4/5 stars, this doesn't disappoint. Stunner.
