This book beautifully told the story of Pruitt Igoe through photographs and captions. I did think that this was going to be a "regular" book with some pictures added in, rather than all photographs, but I still enjoyed it even though it wasn't what I was expecting. I easily finished this book in one sitting. Anybody that has an interest in Pruitt Igoe should read this book.
