A review by pennsnape
Krakatoa: The Day the World Exploded: August 27, 1883 by Simon Winchester

4.0

3.5 stars. If you want to know every detail possible relating to Krakatoa, this is the book for you. The author dives into the history, geography, politics and more surrounding the eruption of Krakatoa. I found some parts dry and uninteresting, but the information on plate tectonics and the people fascinating. I wouldn’t have made it through this book if I hadn’t listened to it on audiobook.
