It's not a bad thing to be a one sided non fiction book but it felt like he was yelling this at me the entire book. On the other hand though, this unfortunate and terrible eco disaster in Hanford is criminally underreported and was enlightening to read about. Makes me rethink my stance on nuear power to see how this country has mismanaged it at every level and now it's borderline unfixable.

Didn't always love the writing and I wanted more information on things mentioned a lot of the time, but that might be, to some degree, unavoidable. This was a good book.

most of this book was interesting, but it went off the rails a bit at the end. the chapter about the downsides of nuclear technology made some good points, but most of the arguments were misleading at best.

As a Washingtonian I am unfortunately shook. I learned more than I bargained for which is a blessing and a curse. Minus one star as I felt the last couple chapters lost their storytelling quality and were mostly repurposed pre-existing articles and essays, and became a bit like a college persuasive paper (even when I agreed with the author).
