lcrou002 's review for:
Bomb (Graphic Novel): The Race to Build--and Steal--the World's Most Dangerous Weapon
by Steve Sheinkin, Nick Bertozzi
Thank you to NetGalley and Roaring Brook Press for providing me an e0arc of this book in exchange for an honest review
I loved this graphic novel. I had read the original text-based version of Bomb a few years ago and thought it was an amazingly well written book. It took a topic that is very complex, a little boring, and definitely sad if you stop and think about it at all and made it into a RIVITING read. The graphic novel does the exact same thing.
There were parts of the graphic novel that I don't even remember being in the first rendition of Bomb. While many people still associate graphic novels with silly meaningless comics, this book used the format amazingly well in order to explain complex scientific concepts and draw the reader into this multifaceted historical story.
This book will be a great way to engage people of all ages who are interested in learning the history of the atomic bomb but who aren't willing to sit down and read large amounts of text.
This book was a wonderful creation and I hope that more of Sheinkin's works get graphic novel adaptations.
