(Rounded up from 4.5ish stars) 
 A riveting, moving recount of one man's experience after choosing to stay in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. Eggers delivers the story from the point of view of Zeitoun (the man who stayed behind) and his wife, Kathy. 
 I learned much about how the government handled one particular aspect of the disaster, and it was difficult to read. Overall the good feeling of this man and his heroic actions broke through the ordeal he underwent, and I ended up feeling at least satisfied. Very good read!
