Book Reviews of 1 Dead in Attic: After Katrina

Book Review: Interesting Book - A New Orleans Area Resident Would Enjoy It More
Summary: 4 Stars

I've read Rose's column in the Times-Picayune. I liked the book because he told his story from his perspective, not someone try to tell the story of Katrina and reverting back to himself. The book is like a diary. The flow could be improved.

Summary of 1 Dead in Attic: After Katrina

Dead in Attic is a collection of stories by Times-Picayune columnist Chris Rose, recounting the first harrowing year and a half of life in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. Celebrated as a local treasure and heaped with national praise, Rose provides a rollercoaster ride of observation, commentary, emotion, tragedy, and even humor -- in a way that only he could find in a devastated wasteland.

They are stories of the dead and the living, stories of survivors and believers, stories of hope and despair. And stories about refrigerators.

Dead in Attic freeze-frames New Orleans, caught between an old era and a new, during its most desperate time, as it struggles out of the floodwaters and wills itself back to life.
