Book Review of Fire

Fire

The collection of essays/long articles in this book are each excellent. I love the in-depth reporting, which reminds me of Mark Bowden, whose work i also really enjoy. The only downfall of this book is that the stories are quite dated, as the book was published in 2002 and many of the stories within it were published years before that. While some, like the fire stories, stand up to the test of time, others, such as the war ones, were interesting, but became confusing as many of the places he's reporting from (yugoslavia, for example), no longer even exist.
