Pretty interesting, unemotional writing. The guy obviously isn't a professional writer, which is rather refreshing; he gives a straightforward, non-technical account of the day from his perspective, without being too self-serving, giving many interesting anecdotes that I hadn't heard before. No pictures. No irritating (for me) drawn-out introduction about his personal history, he just starts out with him arriving at work on 9/11. Relatively short post-9/11 wrap-up, which I also found refreshing.
