This would be considered a coffee table book. A museum guide for the 9/11 memorial, this book goes into the planning of the memorial but also goes into the history of the day and its aftermath. It was a bit text heavy for me. I found myself skimming some of the big chunks of text. I was more interested in the pictures and their captions. I stayed up late to finish this last night, which was a mistake. I went to bed heartsick. ❤️💔

Kboltz Sometimes history is hard to face but shouldn't always be forgotten 7y
emilyhaldi This looks tough ? I read an article yesterday about "the jumpers" of the towers on 9/11 and it's going to haunt me for a while. 7y
Reviewsbylola Yeah there was a section about that and not only the jumpers sadden me but just the pictures of the people peering out. Can you imagine standing on the edge of the 90th-something story like that?! @emilyhaldi 7y
