edit: had $1.50 "promotion" credit - I'm assuming it's left over kindle credits Ive already had? but it brought it down to 50 cents.

It is only $2, but then you will build a large enough library with these sales' where you feel invested in staying in their ebook ecosystem.
Is this book good, even if i thought the movie was boring ?
Did I mention that I've read this WHOLE book!!
It is a great read. My only critique is how in depth the early chapters are. It's incredibly well researched and detailed but that can drag the pacing down.

You really don't need to know much about physics to read this book, that's not the most interesting part, it is about the clash of personalities and how in desperate times, clashing personalities are how you get extraordinary things done.
If you enjoy this book, the books "The Making of the Atomic Bomb" by Richard Rhodes is a biography of the device made by Oppenheimer, Fermi, Groves and who's who of 20th century physicists. Rhodes book probably deserves a Nobel Prize let alone the Pulitzer that it received. Personally, I think that his follow up "Dark Sun" about the making of the Hydrogen Bomb in the backdrop of Cold War espionage is an even more enjoyable read.
One of the best biographies that I've read in the last few years. The only better biographies that I've read in the past five or six years are Roberts' "Churchill Walking with Destiny" and the best biography that I've ever read, Stephen Kotkin's Joseph Stalin biography, two volumes with a third coming soon.
