Another book I was extremely eager to get my hands on after hearing about it: "Superstorm." I would forgive you if you think it's a sci-fi or speculative fiction based just on the main title. If you saw the cover art (what looks like a generic "eye of hurricane" photo) I would still forgive you for thinking that.
But then there's the subtitle: "Nine Days Inside Hurricane Sandy."
This is a nonfiction book because we've had a superstorm. It was three years ago and its name was Sandy. It tends to get referred to as superstorm Sandy instead of hurricane Sandy because of the way to developed, and ultimately merged and hybridized with a frontal storm system in a way that made both far worse than they would've been otherwise by the time it came ashore. It was something we have not seen many times before, and that made it difficult for meteorologists to figure out what the storm was going to do.
The book itself is very enjoyable (in a dark way) in the same way a mystery or suspense book would be. It's told like a story, but here, I know what the outcome ultimately is for Sandy itself. As for the stories of the individual people it's following, those I don't know.
