I was gifted a copy of this book as part of Coundon Library Book Club.

This is not my usual read. I was actually surprised with how much I enjoyed it.

I knew little about the event prior to reading this. I did get a little muddled with names at times.

it was well written and drew out empathy.

I would usually avoid true life stories, but I am glad I read this.

This is a good story that was ruined by a bizarre, repetitive writing style. I finished it to see the ending of the story, but I have to say, I was glad when it ended.

David Peace brings to life the horror of the plane crash but also the deep emotional impact of all those affected by it. Christopher Ecclestones narration beautifully compliments the story. Highly recommend even for those not interested in football.

maybe my first dnf ever? i just could not get on board with the repetitive phrases. was their a minimum word requirement? felt hollow and a cheap way to garner emotion from readers. had to give up.
