I came to this book from the perspective of someone who already knew about the large number of inconsistencies surrounding the 9/11 attacks in America. I was curious about the London attacks and amazed to learn that both these attacks had something in common: terror drills of the exact same scenarios were being conducted when those events went live. Can it really be just a coincidence? Luckily we have a survivor's account to tell us what the media would not about the events of 7/7. Luckily we have a man who had the wherewithal to take notes and ask questions, and to keep tabs on how the media reported the story and how their story kept changing.
Yes, the book could have been proofread better, and at first one does question the need for frequent passages about flirting with women in the tube etc. But I think they just go to show Daniel Obachike's attention to detail and honesty about his mindset. The way the book is written shows Obachike is just an ordinary man who was caught up in extraordinary events. Traumatic as those events were, he did not just try to sweep them under the rug and forget. No, he did the brave thing by sharing his story with the world, and it is a story worth reading.
