Easy and enjoyable read. I enjoyed learning about the work at Oak ridge and the secrecy of creating the atomic bomb while following the lives of several very different characters. I appreciate seeing the difference in the lives between the white and black characters and it helps give a little understanding of how events unfolded to set up future generations activism. I also enjoyed the historical pictures which helped bring even more life into the story. Also I enjoyed that the ending wasn't a stereotypical feel good fairy tale ending but a much more realistic and lifelike outcome for the characters… (mehr)
