This has the potential of being a great book as all reports on 9/11. However, this book is appalling - a ramble that jumps about until you can't follow it...... very, very disappointing

Easy Read... 29 Sep 2011
By James4 - Published on Amazon.com
This book gives you a clear picture of what it must have been like to actually be there, on the 82nd floor of the North Tower. It's true stories of men & women who survived 9/11, changing their lives forever, but having the strength to rebuild and to prevail. It's a great read, the pandemonium, the collapse of the towers, and the aftermath. Very well written!

THIS is What True Heroes are Made of! 8 Sep 2011
By Loree Lough - Published on Amazon.com
In this powerful telling of one man's 9/11 story, readers will feel as if they were there, running breathless and sweaty alongside him as he and his heroic comrades did what most of us mere mortals would find too terrifying to do. This one belongs on your bookshelf!

Gripping story 25 Aug 2011
By Eddie Jones - Published on Amazon.com
A gripping story of how one man's knowledge of North Tower helped to save his team of Port Authority co-workers. This chilling account of the hours between 8 AM Tuesday, Sept 11, 2001, and 10 AM leaves you wondering how anyone escaped Tower One. A first hand account: raw and moving.
