It does get a bit difficult to keep track of all of the people mentioned in the book. I think reading the book a second time would help me to solidify each person’s individual story.

dark informative reflective slow-paced

3.5

This is a comprehensive, historical tale that follows the radium girls of New Jersey and Ohio with detail. However, due to the length of the narrative and difficulty differentiating between the different painters, as well as the various court cases, it's hard to really connect with the victims.
