A bit wordy and overly technical at times, but overall very informative.

Overall I would consider this in the vein of Erin Brokovich's case(s), albeit this is a more complex situation with even more people being impacted and many more chemicals. The book is not written poorly but it is not written in a terribly inviting way either. I think a layman would be able to digest much of the information but there is a great deal of scientific data, frustratingly much of it repetitive. The individual stories are heartbreaking and unfortunately only the tip of the fracking iceberg. The book covers an important topic impacting the environment and families today and unfortunately for an unforeseen time into the future.
