An odd book that came and went in waves of interest to me......very dry overall, dealing with the struggle of a young ambitious physicist desperate to make a name for himself in academic science during the 1920s & 1930s in the new age of atomic physics....but at what cost?? Relationships amongst a handful of college friends ebb and flow over the years as each tries to find their own path. Lots of academic politics amongst the elite colleges, each trying to stake a claim in this new world, and lots of focus on the ethics and morality of science vs. humanity. The story was very interesting to me at times, but then would bog down tediously...and the end seemed rather anticlimactic. More than it had to be in length and detail to get across the point. This is my first C.P. Snow and there is lots more to read on the shelf.....I am hopeful that later more famous works are a touch more stimulating than this earlier work of his... ( )

It is an experience to marvel at, slipping into Snow’s cool elegant prose, and then realizing, without ever having consciously noted its happening, becoming riveted by the story. The action does not race; there are no gotcha plot twists, the story simply unfolds, and the reader is absorbed in it. Perhaps it has something to do with the biographical approach that he uses—we get to know the character, watch him grow, and then become invested in his outcomes. This is an endearing character who rises rapidly as a young scientist; stumbles as a lover likely due to his single-mindedness about his work; suffers an unexpected professional setback and handles it rather badly; then marries, and learns to redefine his standards for success, ultimately realizing his place as a recruiter and sponsor of scientific talent rather than as a science star in his own right. Once again, the paths of Snow’s own career guide the choices made by his hero. ( )
