Reader Reviews
I was shown this book today, by a woman who survived ten days in the attic of her flooded home in New Orleans after the levy broke. As we leafed through the book together, tears rolled down her face. Pointing to the photos, she occasionally remarked, "This man was my neighbor," or "See her? That's my friend." She recounted horror after horror that she had endured, even wondering if those dogs in the picture were the same ones she saw gathered around a man's body--they weren't just inspecting it. My friend stayed in her house because she refused to leave her pets--a dog, birds, and fish--behind, and it almost cost her own life. Her photo appears in the book too. She looks like she's flashing the finger, but she was, in fact, holding it up to a medic so he could take a sample of blood after she had the first of two heart attacks in the storm's aftermath. She might as well be flashing it, though. She has nothing good whatsoever to say about the way the Bush government handled the crisis. I can't judge whether a book captures the reality of a situation unless I've been there myself. She lived through Katrina and the flood, though, and she says this book shows exactly the way it was. I believe her.
