I feel weird saying I love disaster books, but I do love reading about disasters. I suppose that makes me a morbid person, but here I am. This book was an interesting account of the deadly tsunami that hit Japan. I felt so terrible reading about all the little kids at the schools, and how they were just suffocated with mud and nasty water. So many people lost everything they had, and their lives as well. I cannot imagine the devastation. I do not live in a coastal area, so I have never had to be concerned with that, and I cannot imagine the anxiety that one must feel every time those sirens go off.
