Craig Offman wrote the article “A tempest around “Isaac’s Storm,”” he goes on in this article to explain some things he had on his mind about the book. The book was based on a real storm that happened in Galveston, Texas. The book does go a little bit further to explain some aspects of the story to make it more appealing to the reader and draw them closer. As Offman writes in his article, there are a few areas where he questioned the truth about the book. This idea around the two brothers never talking again even as they aged and so on. \u00a0Offman, also is giving his personal view on the review he is giving for the book, yet we can not fully take what he says to heart either due to that it is his own view and opinion. We have to see this as just another view we can look into as we make our own decision on the book. In what\u00a0sanchezron13<\/a>\u00a0said about the storm and its damage does hold true in what Offman also stated in the article on how he explains \u201cOfficially it was a 4,\u201d he says. \u201cHaving spent two and a half years of intense research on this storm, I\u2019m convinced it was a 5. The bottom line is that no one can know for sure.\u201d (Offman) the book would explain how it was more of a 5 than a 4 due to the amount of damage it caused. I really do like what\u00a0sanchezron13<\/a>\u00a0had to say about the 5th chapter in the book. It explains what the people went through and how much chaos there must have been. To end this, Offman gives us his view on the book and compares them \u00a0“Sebastian Junger\u2019s\u00a0\u201cThe Perfect Storm\u201d<\/a>\u00a0and Jon Krakauer\u2019s\u00a0\u201cInto Thin Air\u201d<\/a>\u00a0” (Offman). In other words, he is saying this is sort of a trendy book to read and worth your wild.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
