ONE OF THE BETTER ONES,
By AL (Waverly, Tenn) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Danny Dunn And The Weather Machine (Danny Dunn, #10) (Mass Market Paperback)
I started reading the Danny Dunn books in the 1960's, & this is still one of my
favorites. It's interesting to notice how much has been learned abt weather since it was written, but one line is still true - "we still don't know all abt weather by a long shot". It is strange to imagine a "weather" world without satelites or super weather computers. This is a book where I learned in college just how "science fiction" it is. I didn't think anything of the lightning hitting the soup or the top of Snitcher's head until I was introduced to a spark timer in Physics. The lab instructor advised us to be careful with the timer as it made a 1/4" spark with translated to 2000 volts. In the book the pictures of the lightning bolt appear to be abt 2-3 ft, so guess what?! The soup would've exploded, & Snitcher would have been fried (of course Danny would not have used it the 2nd time after he got thru cleaning up the remains of the kitchen. But hey, Jay Williams took the view Danny did - don't bother with the details. Still despite the obvious fiction it was a fun book. The problem with the weather forcaster Mr. Elswing & his "split personality" was a laugh, as well as the snow storm in the weather office. If you like books that are "period pieces", this is a great read.
