We're saying these words every day, but they were written in 2010. When there's a hurricane, we build a prison. When someone looks different, we send them away. These aren't leftovers from some traumatic national crisis. It's who we are. We love this shit.

I read this in almost disbelief. These are Americans? How would you find Americans who would treat people like this? Now it's every day. Can't go a day without seeing a vid of ICE agents breaking car windows to get at people. Jan 6 rioters battering cops and then taunting them after being pardoned. I must've read too many comic books. America is the home of evil people. Our default react is to do evil. Zeitoun should've woken me up to this.

I visited New Orleans twice. I purchased find book on my second visit.I wish I‘d read it before I visited.It definitely makes me want to go back!This book is non-fiction, but it doesn‘t read as such.I felt glued to the pages and to the characters.I googled many locations and street addresses. I also googled the 9 individuals who were interviewed and was pleased to see that some are still in the city. I have to go back and visit Joanne‘s Kajun Pub

As wonderful as they are and as much as I loved her vampire novels,this is absolutely my favorite of her writing.The characters are layered and very well thought out.

I read this 25 or 30 years ago and loved it, as I did all of Anne Rice's books I read at that time. This time round I DNF-ed. I got just over half way through and couldn't be bothered any more.

bthegood I have this issue with Stephen King books, first go around loved, second time harder to get through 🤔 (edited) 5mo
DGRachel I read a lot of her books when I was in middle and high school. I know I owned this one, but I‘m not sure I read it. 5mo
