review:
I read this for my book club, and I was not looking forward to it at all. I don't generally read non-fiction, and an autobiography about a scientist sounded like it would be pretty boring. Boy, was I surprised! This was beautifully written, and interesting throughout. The beginning of the book was more interesting to me than the end though; it became quite technical toward the last third of the book, and I enjoyed his account of his childhood more than his adulthood. I would have liked to hear more of his personal life as an adult and less about his scientific studies. Nevertheless, it was well-written and very enjoyable.

I found this book fascinating for the history it is based on. I grew up in Charleston, the daughter of two Union Carbide employees, and Hawk's Nest is a place I was very familiar with, but I never know about this tunnel. I found this book entertaining and educational, both about the tunnel and about the plight of the workers so desperate for jobs.
