BOMB by STEVE SHEINKIN

"原子爆弾の開発と米ソのスパイ活動を描いたとても面白い本です。10才から読める本ですので英語はさほど複雑ではありません" "...Having been involved with the nuclear weapons program with a high security clearance, assigned to the Defense Atomic Support Agency, Field Command at Sandia Base, Albuquerque, NM, and a person who has researched the Manhattan Project, later using my knowledge to write my first novel based upon the Soviet version of the Manhattan Project ..." "The stories are geared towards a younger audience, so the sentence structure and vocabulary may feel a little simplistic. The subject matter is treated very maturely and it is very well researched.

픽션과 논픽션이 잘 섞여있는 작품이다. 핵무기개발을 둘러싼 나라들간의 전쟁을 나름 긴장감있게 묘사하고 있는 작품이다. 독자들을 고려해서 그런지 사용된 단어나 표현이 무난하고 독자들이 흥미를 계속 갖고 끝까지 읽게 하는 글의 전개는 칭찬할 만하다. 교육적인면도 강하기 때문에 꼭 읽어 볼 가치가 있는 책인거 같다.
