I was too young during Katrina to know about what really went on but I remember it happening and everyone around me talking about it. This book was amazing to remind me of the tragedy and open my eyes now that I am old enough to really appreciate it. My love of Eggers just grows with every book of his I read

This was my first adult encounter with Haissen, I loved hoot as a kid when it came out and finally got around to reading one of his adult novels. Easy read, perfect for the beach/pool, might pick up another one for summer but heard a lot of his plots are repetitive... but I usually have to figure it out on my own
