Hmmm, where to start. The negatives would be that it could have used better editing, and it was too short. Too short because I never wanted to put this book down. The author beared his soul to his audience and made me think how I would react in the same situation, stuck in the Superdome during Hurricane Katrina. I would think this book would appeal to anyone interested in human psychology, sociology, and even emergency medical responders. It clarified what really went on inside the Dome, not filtered through the media we saw. This was the clearly the best book that I have read this year.
