Review: Thunder Dog: The True Story of a Blind Man, His Guide Dog, and the Triumph of Trust at Ground Zero
Thunder Dog: The True Story of a Blind Man, His Guide Dog, and the Triumph of Trust at Ground Zero by Michael Hingson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
With this book, I was expecting more of a survival story and less about being blind. With that said, though, I found it to be a fascinating account of how the author survived September 11 in the first tower. And it was interesting to learn more about blindness and the difficulties that blind people face, particularly in how other people perceive them. While reading, I found myself reflecting on my experience on September 11 and what I was doing that morning. I liked how the author's faith in God and trust in his guide dog intertwined together. An interesting read; I just wish it had a bit more about Sept. 11.
