This is a fascinating book with amazing full page illustrations by the author. She also created the font. She uses stories and interviews to tell the stories of weather and explain weather occurrences and phenomena. It's definitely worth picking up for the illustrations alone.

An oversize graphic format nonfiction. Heavy in your hands, the words literally meander across the pages. Strange illustrations reflect the mysterious, beautiful, horrifying nature of weather and its influence on human behavior.
I particularly enjoyed the wordless intermission of the sky.

Lauren Redniss does such amazing artwork with her printmaking. I'll be excited to check out any more books she releases. If you enjoy weird science facts and tidbits, this will be one to pick up.

Wonderfully weird and informative. I will be seeking out other works by Redniss.
broncoannee's review against another edition
I heard about this book from a list of non-fiction graphic novels for adults. I was expecting to learn more about how weather happens. Instead I read stories of how weather affected history, which was just as interesting and fascinating, and at times poetic. I wouldn’t have called it a graphic novel other than the chapter on Sky.

A weird and diverse look at weather around the world and across time. It mixes science, history, and firsthand accounts of weather phenomena and specific devastating storms. Not quite a graphic novel and not quite a novel, the artwork compliments and enhances the stories, lending a unique visual representation of the chaotic and unpredictable nature of weather.
