Book Review of Thunderstruck

Thunderstruck
Thunderstruck
Author: Erik Larson
Genres: History, Nonfiction
Book Type: Paperback


Absolutely loved this book. Larson managed to make us care about Dr. Crippen and his hapless girlfriend and obnoxious wife. And he brought Marconi and his complicated plan for domination of the wireless world alive. The two stories mesh surprisingly well in the age in which the principles lived. A wonderful and exciting tale with plenty of facts.
