it was ok
bookshelves: currently-reading

This book is filled with many interesting tidbits but it's a little dry and the narrative lacks the certain cohesion necessary to turn a textbook into a page turner. There author has a tendency to go off tangents, and I almost got the sense that he was trying to fill space. Very little here that is provocative or that I really couldn't have gotten from wikipedia.

But I know know a lot more about uranium than I did before, though i still have a very elementary understanding of fission.
