Fascinating, completely Fascinating. I know a little about Chernobyl but admittedly not much. This book was about the incident, and what has happened since to the animals in the "dead zone". Compared to current scientific thoughts, not everything died off. Many of the animals have see increases in species numbers and are thriving in the unintended wildlife reserve. I love how this book talks not only about what happened in Chernobly but what has happened since then, such as in Japan after the earth quake. Great Book, great source.
