Remembering March 11th, 2011 ZM This is a well-written, moving account of the author's experiences of the March 11th, 2011 earthquake/tsunami in Japan and his efforts in fleeing Fukushima City with his family following the nuclear catastrophe. Reading this brought back the full impact of the disaster and unfortunate loss of lives and property and it is because of works like these that present and future generations are able to and will remember tragedies such as these -- underscoring the transitory nature of life and things. For this reason, this book. Unsettling Kevin Kato's quick read is honest, grinning & unsettlingand a must-read. Despite the disastrous situation in which he and husband family find themselves, Kevin's instincts as husband & father drive hum to do something. His frustration, second-guessing & distrust of his efforts make thus a harrowing but endearing account. He did all he could & was willing to break through awkward social barriers to get his young family to safety. The short "chapters" & fragmented writing are most effective to convey his rush of emotion &. Poignant and moving. Poignant and moving, Kevin Kato delivers fact and fear of the emotional events at Fukushima in March 2011 and the legacy it left upon the city. He tells the tale first hand in journal form describing the hell that his family went through and how the population of Fukushima dealt with the issues. From what we heard on the news this book gives it a certain reality and that extra dimension; It is quite breath-taking and should be filed “a must read” in my opinion.
