Story4.5 out of 5 stars 583
At 8:46 a.m. on September 11, 2001, 14,000 people were inside the twin towers; reading e-mails, making trades, eating croissants at Windows on the World. Over the next 102 minutes, each would become part of a drama for the ages, one witnessed only by the people who lived it, until now.

Not a good format for a book
Reviewed: 03-27-05
With the interweaving stories this book presents it can never seem to stay somewhere that you can follow the people involved. This is certainly not a book for reading, more for making into a movie. It's hard to listen to a story about the horrible events that took place, however it is even harder to hear a bad book about it.

Lots of information without structure
Reviewed: 03-27-05
Lots of information, but little structure beyond the first two chapters. This intends to be a math-centric book, however after two great chapters it seems to lose focus and wander off towards 10th grade physics.

Bill Bryson has been an enormously popular author both for his travel books and for his books on the English language. Now, this beloved comic genius turns his attention to science. Although he doesn't know anything about the subject (at first), he is eager to learn, and takes information that he gets from the world's leading experts and explains it to us in a way that makes it exciting and relevant.

The Only Book I reread imediatley after reading

Best book I've ever read ...
Reviewed: 09-25-04
I'm not a frequent reader/listener, but I found that I simply could not stop listening to this fantastic audio book. My only wish is that he comes out with another series of books that cover perhaps the brief history of political figures, world leaders, wars, inventions, etc. The approach is highly educational and entertaining.
