3.5

I was really excited for this book but it ended up being disappointing. This book had SO MUCH potential!! I think the problem with the book doesn't lie with the author or his retelling of events, but with the editor. There were grammatical mistakes and there were parts that should've been taken out or abridged, things that should've been rearranged, etc. Sometimes it felt like awkward journal entries rather than a memoir or a book on mass fatality incidents.
I hope the author continues to write nonfiction and that if he publishes another book, it ends up in the hands of a better editor.
