Book Reviews of 1 Dead in Attic: After Katrina
Book Review: Excellent read!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is very well written and gives a realistic view of how difficult it was to live and survive in New Orleans after the hurricane. As someone who experienced three hurricanes between 2004-2005, I can relate to so many things the author wrote about.
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.
