Industry Reviews
"Supremely well told; a fine exception to the dull run of most geological writing."
Kirkus Reviews (02/01/2003)
"Winchester is shrewd enough to realise that a very big bang is still only a bang. The interest of Krakatoa and of this book is conveyed best not in exclamation marks and jaw-dropping statistics, but through calm explanations and with the author's unerring instinct for telling detail....[T]he real achievement of this book is its quiet celebration of the irresistible power of the everyday."
Literary Review - Andrew Taylor (06/01/2003)
