This book is 100% going to stick with me for a while. I love the format of a "non fiction" book focused around a "real life event," via interviews. I found the different people telling their own stories had their own, unique voices that all felt like real life interviews. And I love that, just like a real tragedy, sometimes you don't quite get all the answers you want or need (the Warthogs, anyone?!) Be warned, the content can get very dark, but if you're in the mood for something like that this book is for you!
