That book is in my top five list of best books, ever. But then I trained as a physicist and I hesitate to recommend it for a public less into that.

Though I suppose it might wet someone's appetite to learn nuclear physics properly!

That book is amazing, speaking as a non-physicist. (Fine, I did study maths, so I suppose I'm almost qualified as a theoretical physicist, except I'm not good enough at maths ;)

Really recommend it to anybody who's interested in that part of history. Amazing writing, and an incredible story. (You know it's gripping when you read about some of the experiments and feverishly hope they don't blow themselves up, nevermind knowing the outcome)

Pretty sure you meant to say, "whet"?
