I listened to this one.

This was probably the most terrifying book I’ve ever read. It is nonfiction, and though it outlines a possible scenario, it is something that could actually happen. All of the players have this actual capacity. We have the information from what has happened in Japan after being struck by nuclear weapons to know what would happen to those struck by it or those affected by the fallout. 

I also thought this was extremely well researched. I like the way she laid out the book - it wasn’t boring and information overload. It felt like a thriller, action packed, and truly scary. The author is an amazing story teller and makes information like this accessible to every reader. I would definitely read something else by her.

I wouldn’t recommend this to everyone - it is anxiety inducing and terrifying.

I'm not sure whether to give this a 5 for its immense standard of research and clarity of writing, or a zero because now I just want to hide under the bed clothes and never come out...
