Zeitoun by Dave Eggers

This is our One Read book for the town I work in. The program hasn't actually started..., just getting a head start. I'm on the fence about One Town-One Book programs but I do like this book a lot so far. Listening to the audio version.
Update: Finished! The audio is great and this story is an amazing story ultimately of courage and hope but there is a lot to be angry about... things that happened during Katrina and things that did not happen that are just outrageous and it doesn't really seem like 1) they were publicized effectively and 2) that anyone was held responsible. I'm glad this will be our One Read book...it's a VERY IMPORTANT book that I think every American should read. In my youth department we will encourage young people to read Two Bobbies by Kirby Larson. I welcome other ideas for young readers!
PS VERY IMPORTANT BOOK!
