A review by kristi_starr35
Hawking by Jim Ottaviani
5.0
Whether known via an image of a wheelchair-bound and synth-talking icon, on screen as a pop culture phenomenon, or as one of the greatest scientific minds of in history, people know Stephen Hawking. This authorized biographical graphic novel reviews not only Hawking's life but also his theories (though thankfully no equations).
The illustrations and text meld well and present a full view of Stephen Hawking - his life, his work, his shortcomings and struggles, and his successes and impact. It's dense at times and can ask a lot of the reader, but the format makes it much more manageable - and pleasant. Hawking was a great man, and this book presents him in an accessible manner. This is another winner from Ottaviani and Myrick.
