            The 9/11 Report is a graphic adaptation of the previously released commission reports.  While I have not read the commission reports, I have heard that it is a very hard read and names are easily confused.  With this book being a graphic novel, it made text much easier to follow.  Names were given a face making the it easier for the reader to follow along with events.  This book gave so much information about the events on September 11th and those prior.  It has a very real text to world relation, especially with the recent killing of Osama Binladen.    While this was not my favorite book to read I would recommend it others just for the huge amount of information you receive with ease.  Although it is in a graphic novel format, it was not written for a young audience.  The subject matter alone lends itself to a more mature audience.
