Name: Debunking 9/11 Myths
Author: Dunbar David, Reagan Brad
Place of publication: New York, NY
Popular mechanics: 2005

Reason, Type and Setting: The reason why I chose to read this book is really simple. I'm fascinated by disasters. I'm obsessed with looking for fact, evidence and researching conspiracy theories. JFK, Cold War, 9/11. Personally I agree with the conspiracy theories, that's why I purchased this book. It is a factographical piece, takes place kind of in New York City, but involves the whole world. It all happens right now, in the 21st century.

Plot: This book doesn't have a plot, however the major conflicts are built upon the conspiracy theories. This book tries to reveal, or to debunk the most popular parts of the "conspiracy theories" by bringin the cact from the experts.

Character: There is not many characters in this book, since it is all about facts. However, I would pick George W. Bush and mankind itself. Right now, everysingle person should think of actions that we do. Whether it's Bush or whoever else, there would be no need for debunking book, if there were no conspiracy theories. And conspracy theories are gone only when we can trust our governments.

Evaluation: I didn't like the book. In my opinion it shows "facts" from "experts" that are experts just like myself. Their investigation and testimonies don't match the fact that anyone can watch, say on youtube. Some of the fact are very very cheap, it almost seems like the writers were hired by someone only to publish something that debunks the conspiracy theorist. This book has a direct connection to real world, since the events desribed in it are happening/happened/ in real world. I recommend this book only to people, who are interested in conspracies. This book is one big lie, with lots of unclear facts in it.

Author, Context and Trivia: This book is written by two editors from Popular Mechanics, a famous magazine publishing articles mainly about science. I've seen these guys on TV in a debate with the major conspiracy theorists, and they were lost. They couldn't say a word, they were only sort of speechless. As I already mentioned, it doesn't even seem like they wanted to write this book. Seems like somebody hired a high-reputation magazine's editors to do some "research".
