Larson has written another beautiful, well-researched and deep historical narratives.

Although it was a little hard to follow is places, this is a book full of history, drama and an amazing explanation of how things were and the impact it’s had on life in Texas today and the rest of the United States.

Fascinating. Larson’s ability to tell historical stories in such a cinematic way is unparalleled. Great and informative reading having grown up in Houston, Texas all my life.

Had to read for a school project and was unable to finish it as it was hard to follow and not intriguing.

Haunting story.

Today when we can all look at our smartphones and get an hour by hour prediction of pending weather it's hard to imagine a time when you could be surprised by something as devastating as a hurricane. In Isaac's Storm, Erik Larson gives you a front row seat to one of the most destructive hurricanes in Texas history and and an authentic view into the lives & times of the bustling city of Galveston Texas at the turn of the century. Fast passed and highly readable Larson hits it out of the park with this one.

Bought and read it right after I had purchased a beach house in Delaware. Needless to say I watched the ocean w a bit more respect each hurricane season since.

No pun intended. As always a riveting story told by one of the greatest historical storytellers of our time. Fantastic book.

This book is phenomenal, I just discovered Erik Larsen the summer of 2010 and he is my favorite author, he puts a fiction spin on non-fiction books. I would recommend this book to anyone along with, Devil in The White City, Thunderstruck, Garden of Beast and Lethal Passage!!!
