This reminded me of my final assignment for an undergrad children's literature class where we created a children's book. That doesn't make it bad; the book was well-researched and took a creative approach, but it felt like it COULD have been composed quickly.

Really lovely book—it wasn't really what I expected (was thinking it would be a more classic graphic novel) but truly beautiful. The art is incredible and the way the story skirts through history to get at the Curies' importance: wonderful.

This book had some logical mishaps with mentioning radium and then mentioning an atomic bomb or Chernobyl. Yes, radiation are involved with those two things but an unknowing reader could link radium to atomic bombs, and there lies the blame on the Curies for destruction. I did enjoy the art and the way that the book was written in a love-story fashion for me to catch a glimpse at the life of Pierre and Marie as a married team of scientists. I enjoyed having a bit of a change of perspective from “hard scientists” to “passionate scientists” in terms of how women scientists were viewed back in their day. Pierre seemed to be a huge advocate for women in science and I thoroughly enjoyed that.
