Negative Positive
Title: In his own words and unedited (or so it seems)
Review: It is obvious from his style of writing that Richard Picciotto is a no nonsense, plain speaking, man. He is someone used to being in charge. Though rough, his style communicates honest emotion and no "poetic license". At many points I found myself looking for more guidance from his contributor, Daniel Pisner. Finally I realized that it is just not the style of Richard Picciotto to be edited. He is a person used to defining the world from his own perspective since this is the vantage point most familiar to him. This is the kind of person he is and I imagine has always been. "Last Man Down," gives an insiders view of the collapse of WTC I. Picciotto's graphic descriptions of the raw terror of the moment the tower came down are riviting. The book does leave the reader wanting more though. I especially would like to read an account by the "civillian" rescued by then trapped with Picciotto and his men.
Is the review positive or negative?
