I was living in NYC on 9/11 and reading this one so close to its eighth anniversary was very painful. The first person narration didn't work for me, and I was revolted that the character smiled while watching footage on television of the Twin Towers falling and felt remarkably pleased. I should have given up at that point, but I kept reading based on the terrific reviews that this book has generated. Can't say that it was worth my time.
