" This book is really poorly written - McCullough is too focused on minute details, the timeline is disjointed, and there's no map or general overview of the events. But it was interesting to see similarities in how disasters are handled today - the amazing rush of monetary donations, the gross exaggeration of the media, the need to blame foreigners, and the desire of some to say the disaster was caused by God wanting to punish a sinful group of people.
