In this stunning, elliptical novel, Louisa Hall has crafted a breathtaking and explosive story about the ability of the human mind to believe what it wants, about public and private tragedy, and about power and guilt. Blending science with literature and fiction with biography, Trinity asks searing questions about what it means to truly know someone, and about the secrets we keep from the world and from ourselves.

The Bomb Will Always Be Fascinating
Revisado: 07-28-20
great book about the bomb and the people involved in its creation, although not much about the people whose cities were vaporized by it.
told through a series of chronological and overlapping first person accounts, we slowly get a picture of the peculiar man that is Robert Oppenheimer and the complexities that he exemplifies. however, this is not a biography. this story is about the narratives that we construct to explain the people and events that plague and enrich our lives, before realizing that we can no more understand another person than we can understand how humanity decided to proliferate nuclear and thermonuclear weaponry.
some of the passages are absolutely stunning, and are performed very well by the diverse cast of voice actors. I will be purchasing this as a physical book soon, to really dig into section that I enjoyed but wasn't able to dwell on.
my next audiobook is Speak, also by Louisa Hall!

Excellent sci-fi for a lonely weekend
Revisado: 07-26-20
This is a story with an evergreen, foolproof, endlessly compelling premise. This premise, even in the hands of a subpar writer, would make for an enjoyable sci fi experience. How lucky are we that it is treated with seriousness and composed craft by a journeyman of early sci fi! Love this novella. Came to it from the John Carpenter movie, and even though it's a different story, I have no doubt that it would appeal to the same audience.
SPOILER
The ending of the book is not nearly as exciting as the movie. It's quite an anticlimax, making me check the app to ensure I didn't miss a chapter in the download.
