A review by hricarte
Eleven by Tom Rogers

4.0

An often times emotional read, as expected for a novel written about 9/11 but also compelling in the big and small events that occur in this debut novel. The chapters are short and dated, reading like a journal and offer perspectives of Alex as he turns eleven on the most tragic day in our history, The Man in the White Shirt who is caught in the terror and devastation of the World Trade Center attacks, and Mac, an old man waiting for good news that may never come. Their stories collide in a bittersweet conclusion.
