Just order the graphic novel about 9/11
After seeing a piece about it on Countdown, I decided to check it out on Amazon. I pre-ordered it using the link on the homepage - so du will get it's cut.

(I also ordered the new Artemis Fowl book that's coming out next month)

1. Had a look at the first 20 pages or so on Slate . . .
And not being a fan of graphic novels, it didn't really float my boat. However, I did buy Dwyer and Flynn's "102 Minutes" today and it's absolutely chilling -- and very graphic, although it's almost entirely text.

2. it was featured on Today Show
The artists made a point of saying their purpose was to simplify the 9/11 Commission Report. They said it is laid out in timeline fashion.

I'm not much for graphic novels, either, but I have to say I was intrigued by it after I saw and heard the creators and also because of their objective (simplification).
