Very different style. I took me a long time to read. Not sure that I like it. But I am more curious about Marie Curie.

"It was ok" is the perfect description. Interesting topic, but I got mad with the author at times, hated the repetitions.

I have no love for this book. It dragged forever and I couldn't seem to finish it. I strongly dislike the narration style - the memoir/3rd person omniscient narrator mix. This book was definitely not for me.
