The reviewer, Neil Baron, offered the following thoughts:
Fascinating look at Municipal and school board politics Very interesting but would have benefited from tighter editing.
So far, the book is averaging four stars with five of the nine reviews giving it five stars. Of the other two reviews, I received a one from someone who does not appear to have read the book and I received a two star rating from Martin Lindstedt, who also made it his mission to attack some of those who gave it positive reviews.
Silver Lining in a Funnel Cloud tells the story of the Joplin Tornado and its recovery, centering on those who made the critical decisions in the hours, days, months, and years after May 22, 2011, including, focusing on such people as master developer David Wallace, City Manager Mark Rohr, Mayor Mike Woolston, Joplin Area Chamber of Commerce President Rob O'Brian, R-8 Superintendent C. J. Huff, Assistant Superintendent Angie Besendorfer, City Council members Bill Scearce, Ben Rosenberg, and Melodie Colbert-Kean, school board members Mike Landis, Anne Sharp, Debbie Fort, Jeff Koch, and Jennifer Martucci and middle school teacher Kim Frencken.
