A review by silverneurotic
The Atomic City Girls by Janet Beard
3.0
read the Kindle edition of this.
I accidentally mixed this book up with a similarly titled non fiction book, so i admit, I was a little disappointed when I realized that this was a fiction book. Although I definitely enjoy fiction, and I have been wanting to read more historical fiction but I had previously starting listening to the audio version of the non fiction book and I had looked forward to reading it.
This was an okay book. I did like that Janet Beard showed the story from the eyes of two of the girls who were employed without knowledge of what they were doing (and their motivations behind why they were there), a scientist who knew what the secret project was, and a black man who was on the construction crew.
It was a decent book. It was well researched, and I appreciated the little details included that made the book seem real, but there were a few things that I just didn’t like. I didn’t care much for the characters, they seemed like they were just in the story to be able to tell certain parts of the story and they weren’t all that interesting.
Rating: three stars
