A review by kategci
The Submission by Amy Waldman

3.0

I picked this as a book club selection be cause I had wanted to read it after hearing about it. I can't wait to hear what other members have to say; we are all very close and live in or near to New York City. We all have our own feelings about that day in September 2001 and while I enjoyed this a lot I felt that it was a little bit off. While I was not directly touched by the attacks, I always listen for 4 names during the roll call of victims. I wanted to like this book more; but I had a problem with Claire and a couple of other characters. I felt that they were how the author thought they were instead of how people actually were which is a small quibble on my part. I have read several of the post September 11 novels and I am still waiting for an author to "get it.". This one has come the closest.
