Summary: This very powerful graphic novel is about many aspects of Hurricane Katrina.  From the lack of communication, to heroism of various organization and ordinary people, Drowned City deals with government, flooded homes, not rescuing pets, and the conditions at the Superdome.  It is full of facts and actual quotes from survivors and rescue people. 

Review: Drowned City is not a fast read, even though it is a graphic novel.  There is a lot to think about, and the images show the utter devastation and ugliness that surrounded this natural disaster.  While I would recommend this book, it really isn’t for the younger set.  It is quite intense.
