Customer Reviews
A nice compilation
Some of these stories I had already heard,but it was nice to see them again in this compilation. Truth is indeed stranger than fiction sometimes, and David Grann's narrative style tells such fantastic stories.
Great read
Diverse stories, same touching, some heartbreaking, and some strange or just plain interesting. The one about a 9/11 fireman was especially good. Well written and recommended.
