I really liked the book, but it is confusing! There are many characters and I had a very difficult time keeping them straight. We did have the author on speaker phone and listening to him, helped me straighten out the characters that I had confused!
Very interesting book. Made you feel like you were really a part what happened in real peoples lives.
Great read. So many of the Katrina books focus on the poverty of the Lower Ninth Ward but Nine Lives gives the reader a view of how different neighborhoods and people of different socio-economic levels faced such a great disaster. Yes, it was confusing with so many characters but that also made the Nine Lives a stronger story.
