Title: Different perspective from a man once in the same firehouse
Review: I approach this book from a different perspective than most readers, in that I actually knew the heroic firefighter that ( as it is reported in the press)the leading character, Jonah Malone, was based on. Although the author has based some episodes on great rescues in his career, it seems that she missed the boat by giving no clue as to why this man was so beloved by firefighters and all who knew him long before his tragic death on 9/11. This warm, funny, compassionate, brilliant and humble man was a far more interesting character than the fictional (and at times rather boorish) Jonah Malone.
Is the review positive or negative?
