This book was written by the journalist John Hersey. He follows the life of six survivors of the atomic bomb of Hiroshima. Some of the characters knew each other. It tells about all the problems these people had because of the bomb, their return to an almost normal life...The last chapter tells what happend 40 years later.
What I liked about this book,is how it tells the story of the A-bomb, trough the personal experiences of six different people. What I didn't like about it was the way it was written, like a newspaper article(this story has been originally written for a newspaper). I am currently readind another book about Hiroshima, but this time written by a survivor herself. I think everybody should read Hiroshima, by John Hersey because it informs in a good way about the A-bomb and the context of it's dropping.
