dark emotional informative inspiring sad tense slow-paced

4.5

The writing felt a little bit slow at times, but the story overall was shocking, intriguing, and sad. I'm glad something was learned from these ladies, but so much more should've been done for them sooner. A very interesting read.

dark inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.5

I thought this was beautifully written! Be that as it may, you’re going to have to be in a good headspace to read this. It is grotesque, heartbreaking, infuriating, and chilling. The post script genuinely caused me to gasp. I had to take a break a couple of days in and read something else for a little while. However, I absolutely recommend this book, especially if this is a subject or a time period that you’re interested in. The author clearly did her research. I learned a lot while I was reading it and found it very compelling.

a solid nonfiction book that successfully answers the questions it poses.  topic is not fun but Kate Moore does a good job at focusing on individual stories and also the systemic failures.

4.5 stars. I really loved the book and the accounts of all of the Radium Girls. I do think it was written in too much detail, but the stories were amazing. I couldn’t imagine fighting with every single last breath I had for justice.
