Review
On the other hand, this book had a lot of terminology and different events from World War II. I knew some of it from prior knowledge and history class, but some of it I didn't understand or I either had to look up. Altogether this book had tons of detailed information, sometimes a little too detailed for me. I learned a lot of things from this book as well. It was something where I would stop and look something up before I finish reading too fully understand. Reading Bomb was a learning experience, not only about the characters and the elements that go into the bomb but it also held life lessons in the book.
