Like an onion, this book is layered and might just bring tears to your eyes. Full of the stories of some of the survivors of 9/11, and some stories of those who died, it is a book that fills you with a fear different from that of ghouls and vampires, but a fear of reality. Brimming over with details, 102 Minutes will capture your heart and your mind as you slowly begin to realize just what happened that dark day in our past.
