A review by jrabbit12
Zeitoun by Dave Eggers

3.0

Dave Eggers is one of my favorite story tellers and he doesn't fall short in Zeitoun. He paints vivid pictures of post-Katrina New Orleans allowing the reader to be a survivor of the flood instead of just a viewer of televised aerial images. Zeitoun's experiences and subsequent story within the destroyed city are eye-opening. The lack of a rescue system is frustrating as is the poor legal system which was implemented to arrest all "looters", a label placed on some, such as Zeitoun, who were only trying to help.

Eggers has produced another captivating and enjoyable read. Good job.
