I actually enjoyed this book for a time, but eventually I got disaster fatigue and had to skim through parts of the later half of the book. I do appreciate learning about this important and horrific piece of history in Worcester County - where I now live :-)

Excellent detail, this book managed to capture the tornado in firsthand account from minute to minute.

Factual. If you are interested and knowledgeable about the Worcester tornado of 1953, this will be very interesting. If not, don't bother reading this.
