A review by itsolivia
Zeitoun by Dave Eggers
4.0
The deal: Abdul and his wife Kathy are muslims living in New Orleans when Katrina hits. This true story hashes out the days leading up to and following the hurricane. An interesting cross section between how our government handled disaster relief and terrorist threats in the not so distant past.
Is it worth it?: I think so. Eggers is excellent, per usual. Do yourself a favor though, and don't read the "where are they now" before you dive into the book. It turns out Zeitoun may actually be a horrible person - and in that context, the story is hard to swallow.
Pairs well with: Bottled water, a canoe
B
