Where Were You on 9-11? by: Janette Reynolds

Wow!!! What a way to take some time to remember that day. Instead of remembering your own feelings and thoughts to read about other peoples feelings and thoughts on that day. The first interview captured my imagination. I thought, of course we were all just living our lives. Yes, someone was in the Grand Canyon~it really gets your mind going. The bios that the author wrote for each person interviewed were great. I especially liked reading the interviews of people like myself who are not famous. Certainly, it is amazing how one event can provide every American with a common thread. The flow of the book was wonderful. I read it from cover to cover quite comfortably. I will keep the book as a resource to recount that dreadful day when America was attacked at the WTC. Great job!!! Who is this Janette Reynolds? What other books has she written?

Uplifting, up close and personal

I found this book to be an unusually good read -- and when I mentioned it to my friends, they all started telling me THEIR stories of where they were on September 11. What I liked about the book was the combination of everyday Americans and famous people -- many of whom shared stories and perspectives that were interesting and that showed a side of themselves I had never heard before. Two stories that really moved me were the attorney Victoria Toensing, who I've often watched on television, telling of the loss of her close friend Barbara Olson in the Pentagon crash, and a story of a gentleman in a wheelchair that made me think about the special problems experienced by those who could not descend by stairway.
