Negative Positive
Title: Seriously, this book is an injustice to the disaster.
Review: Part of the book is about the tornado mixed with a lot of prose and other garbage combined with her childhood memories. It reads like a flowery poem. The second part of the book documents her interviews with the people who survived the tornado, several of which who did not seem that happy or got upset when she was prying into their pasts. Even though she moved a few months before the tornado happened, many had no idea who the heck she even was. One of the men she interviewed, Larry Swales, happens to be in an episode of Storm Stories and is nothing like how she describes him in the book. She draws on old memories and reports things in the way she remembers them or wants to remember them and not the way they probably actually were. In books on weather events one should try as much as possible to keep their bias out of the actual event. This book is all show and no substance.
