Book Reviews of Meltdown: A Race Against Nuclear Disaster at Three Mile Island: A Reporter's Story

Book Review: A Good Sense of What Was Going On At The Time
Summary: 4 Stars

I lived near the plant at the time of the accident and was one of the children evacuated because of the impending doom. I remember well the confusion surrounding what was going on. No one seemed to know for sure what was going to happen and some experts came right out and admitted so. Mr. Hampton has portrayed these feelings well and while reading the book you can see why. With behind the scene knowledge and of course hindsight the writer has produced an excellent book on the public events that this area went through. This book is not too technical but touches on how close we actually were to a meltdown, something still at debate in many circles.

This book is good for young teens on up. It should be read by anyone who is interested in history, nuclear power or even how big corporations treat teh surrounding communities and the local and state governments. There is much more that can be read on the subject but this is a very interesting book and good place to start.
