This story was very interesting, but I didn’t particularly enjoy the telling of it. The dozens of named characters and jumpy timeline made things confusing, and the level of detail was sometimes boring. I think I would have preferred a less in-depth recounting of the disaster that focused more on the perspectives of a few key people. Having said that, I recognize that it’s a complex story and congratulate Higginbotham on communicating its magnitude and effects.
