Historia
Last Train from Hiroshima offers listeners a stunning "you are there" time capsule, gracefully wrapped in elegant prose. Charles Pellegrino's scientific authority and close relationship with the A-bomb's survivors make his account the most gripping and authoritative ever written. At the narrative's core are eyewitness accounts of those who experienced the atomic explosions firsthand---the Japanese civilians on the ground and the American fliers in the air.

Historia
Neanderthals have developed a radically different civilization on a parallel Earth. A Neanderthal physicist, Ponter Boddit, accidentally passes from his universe into a Canadian underground research facility. Fortunately, a team of human scientists, including expert paleo-anthropologist Mary Vaughan, promptly identifies and warmly receives Ponter. Solving the language problem and much else is a mini-computer, called a Companion, implanted in the brain of every Neanderthal. But it can't help his fellow scientist back in his world, Adikor Huld, when the authorities charge Adikor with his murder.

Would you try another book from Harper Lee and/or Sissy Spacek?
No. I didn't consider this an Adult book. Lacks depth. Told from a child's point of view.

I would not read Harper's books.
Did Sissy Spacek do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
Sissy Spacek did a good job. Very believable.

I didn't like this book, but the story was of interest for it's look at the old South.
Any additional comments?
Despite being a classic, I don't recommend this book.
