While I am working on finishing the biography on Woodrow Wilson, I thought I would write a quick review of a book I have recently read.
I loved this book for several reasons. First, it is an incredible story. Zeitoun's trials during Katrina were more the average person could bear. Second, Eggers does a great job of making his point without blatantly saying how he feels. The proof is in the pudding, Zeitoun's story is all that needs to be said about the government response to Hurricane Katrina. And lastly, all author proceeds from the book go to the Zeitoun Foundation, whose purpose "is to aid in the rebuilding of New Orleans and to promote respect for human rights in the United States and around the world."
