Survivors


This book is written by Geraldine Sheridan and Thomas Kenning . It's about survivors that survived disasters from the mid 1980s for example the Lockerbie bombing , Hillsborough, and many other short stories about other disasters.
The survivors talked about what happened to them before and after the disasters, how it has changed their lives. Some of their family's members died and what was their reactions and etc.
Some people quitted their jobs and got divorces because they find it hard to carry on with their lives.

This book is somewhat really interesting, although it can get very confusing sometimes because there are ALOT of characters so sometimes it's quite hard to keep track of all of them. In the middle of the book, there are pictures of the victims in black and white, before and after pictures.
I would recommend this for most people ,especially guys because some girls wouldn't want to read a book about dead people ,plane crashes, sinking ships and etc. This isn't an adventure book and the language is in simple english. So most people will find it easy to understand what it is about.
(there's a [chinese/japanese] version of this book, if you're interested).
