Super interesting but a bit confusing in some parts. More diagrams and a current photo would have been great.

This was a very interesting book about the Brooklyn Bridge. Unfortunately many parts were very technical and seemed dry like a text book. Cole and I liked the human interest parts the best. We were especially interested to read this book since we've walked over the Brooklyn Bridge.
