I thought it was a solid book. Loved the interview first person accounts and how everyone has different opinions, beliefs, and viewpoints of the same events. I love the feeling of a slow buildup that eventually spirals into chaos at the end, and reading the whole account of the place as a timeline but each part is a different person was pretty creative. I like how the reporter included official sources too like the rescue team and outside security, etc. 

I liked the story and the graphic imagery, but it didn't feel like a horror story. Idk hownto describe it but it didn't feel horrible enough? Weird to day but alright. Interesting enough story about the failure of management and protocol. 
i also found it funny that the pirates were scared by the circus because of superstition. Because pirates.
