<p>I own a book written by Pilippe Petit the French funambulist and watched the documentary film "; Man on Wire";. I was initially interested in this book because of it, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was not a story about Petit nor about well-known heroes. It was about the lives of ordinary people who live in this great city of New York, such as an Irish priest and a prostitute. These ordinary people lead insignificant lives and probably never do great things to change the world. Yet, they made me care about them. I especially felt for a mother who lost her son in war. </p>
<p>Every time the cable walk between World Trade Center is mentioned in this book, I couldn&#8217;t help but flinch a bit remembering these towers do not exist anymore. Then, I realize that New York City and the World have changed, but our world is still very similar. There&#8217;s something universal in humanity. </p>
<p>His writing is beautiful and even though there are many characters, the story is easy to follow and cohesive. </p>
<p>Colum McCann has a big heart. He cares every ordinary life who makes this great world. His characters will keep on living in my mind. </p></p>
