Almost unreadably devasting. This book is clear, detailed and precise in identifying the failures that led to Grenfell, while being incredibly moving as it tells the residents stories. 

The structure of the book - with each chapter about the failures that led to the disaster bookended by ones focusing on a short window of time during the night - was a powerful way to centre the residents while also drawing a clear path from the "bonfire of regulation" attitude of governments, via the greed of private companies, the indifference of the local council and the unpreparedness of the fire brigade, to this utterly avoidable tragedy.
