Never Forget

Topic: How does this book compare to Last Man Down? Last man down was a similar type of book about 9/11 that I read last semester. the book was about a man by the name of Richard Picciotto who was a FDNY Battalion commander on duty at the time of the 9/11 terrorist attack. In Last Man Down Pasiner writes the story Picciotto tells him about 9/11 including in great detail the time Picciotto spent trapped inside the building and him watching his friend and coworker die while they were trapped. It was a great book and was very moving. Never Forget was a similar book but it didn't give the entire story from on persons point of view it created the big picture from 82 little pictures. It had similar situations from people being trapped, to people going in and saving those that they could, to people dying, to near death experiences for so many different people. It was just a moving as Last Man Down. But in my opinion Last Man Down was in comparison a better book, because it was better written, and you got a more detailed look in to the mindset and experiences of Picciotto. With Never Forget the book seemed choppy and at certain time it was hard to stay connected with the context of the book because of the chaos that when on in the book. I was expecting some of the choppiness because all of the stories were from different people but not as much as I saw in the book, most of the stories didn't connect I was expecting at least for there to be some sort of transitions between each story but their wasn't and that made it very hard to connect with the book.
