It is often grueling to listen to but riveting all the same. It is read in chronological order, which results in jumping from person to person repeatedly as events unfold in different locations. That makes it difficult to follow any single person&#8217;s experiences from beginning to end, but the use of different actors with distinct voices helps ameliorate that problem.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/review\/list\/12975428-russell-atkinson\">View all my reviews<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Only Plane in the Sky: An Oral History of September 11, 2001 by Garrett M.
