Book Review of Thunderstruck

Thunderstruck
reviewed on + 80 more book reviews


Here I sit with this bitter-sweet feeling Erick Larson leaves me with. Bitter because I have come to the end of "Thunderstruck", but I have that sweet feeling of having read one of the best books available. Larson in this one as well as the other Larson novel I read, "The Devil and The White City" starts out with 2 unrelated stories and by the time the book ends the two stories twist together to make the book a memorial reading experience. He has a way of leaving even those that could care less about history enthralled with history, he has a way of grabbing a reader and fans are flocking into his grasp. Read it you will be glad you did.
