I watched the Netflix documentary about this fire, and seeing the footage of the destruction was so moving. I looked up books about this fire, and this was one of two books that were highly recommended. This outlined the progression of the fire and the aftermath. It had a lot of personal stories about people from the town that lived and died. There were a few negative reviews that whined about the mention of President Trump and Bernie Sanders. The mentions were not overwhelming. These people were not the focus of the book. Sitting Presidents often visit places that have suffered some type of disaster, though they do not always have anything useful or smart to say. It is not a wild concept. I really liked this book, though it seems wrong to say you like a book about a tragedy. I would recommend this.
