How has this one been so far?

Obviously the subject matter is hard to read about but it's very good! The most difficult part is keeping straight the names of the 5 different survivors he has interviewed but usually there's enough context clues to help you out. He's woven together the stories of the survivors with a lot of other sources (Japanese nationalists, Allied soldiers, Catholic nuns, etc.) so you get a lot of timeline help with how fast or slow certain things happened. I will definitely be reading his book on Hiroshima as well!

Ah, sounds good! I'm adding it to my list.
