Did you like “City On Fire”?

I had a hard time reading it. Not becaise of the content.

The author’s writing style bothered me. It was disjointed and hard to follow.

Well, it’s been a few years since I read it. I don’t remember having a problem with the style.

As I said I was intrigued by the story since my son was a fireman in Texas City at the time I was reading the book. So I might not have noticed problems with the style.

What amazed me after reading the book was that I knew two people who lived thru the explosion as children and were mentioned in the book. Before then I never knew they were involved.

I thought another good book about the Texas Gulf Coast was “Issac’s Storm”.

It’s about the great Galveston hurricane of 1900 that killed between 6000-10000 people.
