## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ excellent pacing and well written. engaging.
*by A***R on February 19, 2025*

This book is well researched, it puts you into the mindset of the people involved with the creation of the atom bomb and their challenges and concerns. The action is paced well and keeps you invested in the characters and the story. Definitely worth the time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for people of any age who want to visualize historical events in an engaging manner.
*by C***E on December 14, 2024*

I really feel this author is one of the best history writers for a history foundation out there because he truly takes you to the historical event or scenario.He puts in all important data but his extraordinary ability to depict historical events (almost as if you are there) is what brings his work to the top.I read history books quite a bit but his books bring you into history which is something I don’t get when I read many other writers compilations.I have thoroughly enjoy every historical book I’ve read by this anuthor (and I have read most of his work).I can’t recommend this authors history books enough. This guy is really talented and explaining history in a way that is to the point and enticing to read.I would give his books 100 stars if I could!!Bravo!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by M***. on November 14, 2013*

Non-fiction often gets a bad reputation for being dry and factual, reading more like a history book than a novel. Bomb by Steve Sheinkin breaks aggressively through those stereotypes. Bomb is endlessly thrilling. Even though I, and probably (hopefully) most readers, know the outcome of the race to build the nuclear bomb, I found myself on the edge of my seat. By focusing the text on character narratives, including dialogue, and threading between story lines, this book is an unexpected page turner.When you set aside the index in the back, the actual photographs, and then citation of quotes, it is easy to forget this a nonfiction text rather than a thrilling novel, and at times almost a mystery. I wish they would have taken the photographs of the characters (real people) and put them in the back as a photographic index. It was awesome to picture characters in my mind and then see what they actually looked like and I would have liked access to that right in the beginning of the book.This is a great text for cross-subject study. How fun it would be for the students to learn about the atomic bomb and WWII in history, and then read Bomb in English. This cross subject transfer leads to higher level thinking in our students and promotes actual, deep, learning about real historical events. Bomb is a great choice for teaching high school aged students about the atomic bomb in a new (and much more interesting) way. I think boys and history buffs will find extreme pleasure in this text, but it certainly is not limited to them. I don't usually enjoy non-fiction, and I am not a huge fan of historical fiction either, but I must admit Bomb was a surprisingly enjoyable read. It even taught me new information about a subject I thought I was fairly knowledgeable about!
