Not a bad read, but unfortunately not what I was expecting, either. I enjoyed the unreliable narrators of it all and how every interview has their own perspective. But I also do wish that there were some sort of overall narrator to tell us what did happen. Also, especially towards the beginning, some of the inaccuracies of how Hurricanes happen took me out of it for a sec, but it was easy to be pulled back in once the first hand account interviews started happening. Overall it was fine but it left me wanting more.
