pickDuring the preparation of uranium fuel for use in a reactor, three workers sustained lethal doses of radiation.

pickI can't remember the last time I stayed up till 3am to finish a book. Despite the lack of visible death throughout the majority of the book, Shute reminds readers of it's imminent nature through his imagery of death. Quotes above are just my favorites if the kind. I cried at the end, although the characters of Shutes horrible world all had a sense of grace in dealing with their fate. #endoftheworld #antiwar #death #radiationsickness #nuclearwar
