Thunder Dog: The True Story of a Blind Man, His Guide Dog, and the Triumph of Trust at Ground Zero by Michael Hingson
5.0
Fascinating, surprisingly quite clean, story! Great thoughts about how blindness affects people, but how all of us sighted people actually make it into a bigger deal than it could be. Slightly sobering to read, because I recognized some of the prejudice talked about here to be in my own life, too--OUCH.
The story is very well-written, intense, engaging. As a first-hand account of how 9/11 affected a blind man, a manager on the 78th floor of Tower 1 in the World Trade Center, it's a gripping testimony. I loved all the little stories connected to the story, and loved how his faith naturally wove its way into the middle of the tale. Great book.
Note: There were a few instances of language, especially surrounding the skyscraper falling--they will be noted in my full review on http://learningresourcedirectory.com
