The Hitherto Secret Experiments of Marie Curie by Henry Herz, Bryan Thomas Schmidt

1.0

I know the authors meant well, but this book felt disrespectful to use Marie Curie’s name to write fairytales. This book has snippets of science but largely has what seems like folk, light horror, and magic stories. This book wasn’t specific to Marie Currie, and could’ve had any young woman added into these stories. They didn’t flow together and were just far fetched. The amount of afterwords that stated “this isn’t true” just made me more upset that Marie Currie’s name was used. Stories of a mystery man having a body in their icebox, a monster under the bed, and Marie solving murder? I hope this stays digital so it won’t waste the paper it would be printed on. The one star is simply because the writing wasn’t bad, the stories just were. 1⭐️, 0🌶
