reviewed The Buffalo Creek Disaster: The Story of the Surviviors' Unprecedented Lawsuit on October 26, 2018
The Buffalo Creek Disaster
Excellent chronicle of a great case; The narrative needed more style and polish
Stern does an excellent job chronicling the disaster and how the case proceeded from start to finish in excellent detail. For anyone interested to know how a case of this nature is handled by good trial lawyers, this book is an excellent resource. The storytelling aspect was good, but could've been much stronger. The ending chapters, in particular, seemed to devolve from narrative prose to bullet pointed paragraphs from Stern's diary. The information is worthwhile so I still highly recommend the book.
