A review by leslielu67
Zeitoun by Dave Eggers

2.0

The beginning of this book reminded me of Three Cups of Tea, in which the author paints the main character as annoyingly almost Jesus-like. At least Zeitoun did not miraculously attend Mother Teresa's funeral! This book should have been halved, with much of the pre-Katrina family history chopped. Better yet, it would have made a great 3-part series in the newspaper. The story needs to be told, but not like this.
