I overall really liked this short novel and the story that it tells. You can clearly tell this author has done a lot of research to and talked to a lot of people. This is an important story to be told and overall I’m happy to have picked this one up. I will say from what I read that I wish there was a little bit more about the science behind the after affects of using radium. I say from what I read because after I finished reading this I realized this is only an excerpt from a larger book which cost $17.99 for full purchase. I’m not sure it’s worth paying that dollar amount as I think you can get a good idea from this free version. I did not know there was a larger novel this excerpt was pulled from until I got to the end, which disappoints me.

Exposes the dangers of radium at an age when society thought it was only beneficial for the human body. A tragedy.
