102 Minutes: The Unforgettable Story of the Fight to Survive Inside the Twin Towers by Jim Dwyer, Kevin Flynn
This is a very heavy book. I had a hard time putting it down, despite knowing not everyone would have a "happy ending." Watching the events of that day unfold on television was nothing like what those inside the towers experienced. It was sad to learn that most of them had no idea what was really going on.
The authors of this book are journalists and that style is evident in the writing. They also repeat some statements at least two or three times, and go off on tangents about the building of the towers and other things when I just wanted to read the imminent narrative. But it was interesting to learn that what we heard on television wasn't necessary the way things really were. Though emotionally hard to read, I recommend this book.
