Unfortunately, this book was a little dragged out. It was a little heavy on the history that seemed a little unnecessary. The story was interesting, but I don‘t think I would recommend this to anyone with any type of remedial science background, it‘s too big on details that most would remember from high school science. A wiki article of this story would‘ve sufficed.😕

Ugh. Devestating and infuriating. A book of collected stories from those affected by the meltdown. Citizens, soldiers, scientists, and volunteers. Took me all month to read it. It was good.. just heavy. All the triggers btw..

KathyWheeler I read this when it first came out and you‘re right — it was all of that. It was so difficult to read, not because it wasn‘t good, but because it was so devastating. 1y

The first part of this is like watching a very slow-moving car crash. A call-the-police-and-ambulance-and-fire-department crash.

This is fascinating although it‘s sometimes over my head—physics is not my forte. It‘s very tough to put down. Thus, I‘m alternating between audio and print. 😄

Another book I wouldn‘t have picked up except for #auldlangspine. Thanks, @Sharpeipup 🙌🙌🙌
And thanks, @monalyisha 🤗🥳

Sharpeipup I understand there is a documentary as well but I have not seen it.
To me, it was like reading a soap opera with scientists and politicians.

CBee Oh, Voices From Chernobyl - I couldn‘t finish it 🙁 Maybe just not the right time for me to read it? Then again, is it ever the right time? I‘m currently listening to The Escape Artist and it‘s the same sort of thing. Important to know and learn but goodness it breaks your heart in the process 😞 1y
vivastory @CBee There are passages from Voices From etc that are forever etched in my mind. Def very difficult. 1y
CBee @vivastory I can imagine and understand! 1y

jlhammar Love Alexievich. Her oral history style is so effective. Last Witnesses and The Unwomanly Face of War were also amazing. I'm hoping to get to Secondhand Time later this year. 1y
vivastory @jlhammar I've been meaning to read The Womanly Face of War for awhile now. I was completely unaware of Last Witnesses. Thanks for the rec! 1y

I completed the #Booked2022 Challenge! HUZZAH!! I likely wouldn't have found Voices or The Prettiest Star without these prompts, so thank you! They were some of the better books I read this year. Now on to 2023.

This book has taken me longer to read than expected because I only wanted to read short sections at a time, but it is well worth the time. It‘s written in a way that continuously reminds you these are stories of individual people and retains a true oral history feel. It‘s both infuriating and heartbreaking. I‘ve read a few books about Chernobyl, but it‘s absolutely the one that feels the most personal.

Daisey @Liz_M Actually the puppy is still a little smaller. I‘m just glad they‘re starting to tolerate each other. 1y

The temperature is dropping this week, so I cooked up a pot of chili yesterday afternoon. I feel like it‘s been a bit since I enjoyed a a book with my evening meal, so right now I‘m making a little time for a bowl of chili and a few more pages.
