Rating:  Summary: 3,000 is more than just a number Review: the ny times has done an award winning public service in publishing these profiles. when one thinks of the 3,000 victims of the terror attacks, you can be overwhelmed. these portraits give you an insight into the lives of the individuals that make up the statistic.someone once said, the individual death is a tragedy while many deaths are a statistic. this book and the individual portraits make the tragedy very real in personal terms (babies never knowing their other parent, last times spent together as a family, etc). highly recommended reading. these names will enable you to NEVER FORGET the victims of 9/11.
Rating:  Summary: Great Portraits Review: This book helps us to see what 9/11 was on the receiving end. Through the stories and illustrations, we learn who the people were, what their lives were, and the people who continue to love them. It helps us come to grips with the value and importance of the lives that were lost that day.
Rating:  Summary: an excellent book Review: This is an excellent tribute. Features short bio & photo of almost 2000 of those lost in the 9/11 tragedy. A nice look into the lives of these people. Not all are included in this book, but hopefully the New York Times will publish a second volume. Highly recommended.
Rating:  Summary: A Touching Remembrance Review: Without this book, I don't think that I could even attempt to have closure concerning all the horror that occurred in our lives last September. I have been trying over the last eight months to absorb every little bit of information that I could about the victims of September 11th. This book brings each person's life into focus, and reminds us all that it's not a list of names, these were husbands and wives, mothers, fathers, sons and daughters. They meant the world to someone. As the years go by, I will surely open this book again and again to revisit the pain of lives lost and the beauty of the love their families will always feel for them. This book brought me closer to a tragedy that occurred across the country and made me feel more a part of it. Though I can only get through a portrait or two at a time without tears, the pain is a small price to pay to get to know these people who just went to work one tragic day.
Rating:  Summary: very nicely done! Review: you could tell this book was put together with alot of love and thought behind each and every photo shown, and memory shared....it's just tragic this book ever had to be put together in the first place....
