I think this book was good b/c it gives a lot of information on how the ideal of making it started up and told you about what was on the floors and how they made it. Toward the middle of the book it talks about how the Twin Towers get bombed and destroyed by terrorist. Nineteen terrorist take over two planes and they crash in to one of the towers and it starts smoking then the other plane crashes in to the other tower and they both start smoking and they both fall and then blow up. A total of 2977 people died and several were injured. This happened on September 11, 2001. Then at the end of the book it tells you how they make a memorial and put all the names of the people who died on a wall. I gave it a four star b/c of how much information the book went to. Like how the book explained all of the facts and characters.
