review 1: This was a really fun read. As a biography it was interesting to see how is life developed from a young rich playboy into a curious scientific genius. It also was great at explaining how his ideas developed out of his relationships with various mentors and colleagures. It explains a lot of the science behind his theories and touches upon how his religious, political, and scientific views interacted with each other. It is very densely written for a graphic novel---but I kept wanting to read more and more. It was hard to put this book down.
review 2: This is why I don't normally read in bed! I couldn't sleep last night so I picked up this book. I finally had to force myself to put it down when I reached the half way point so I could get some sleep! Yup, that... more means I like it a lot. It's a good, fun intro to evolution, some historical stuff on the British Navy, and how to think like a scientist. Highly recommended reading for smart kids and adults alike, but it is probably too high of a reading level for politicians, even though it is a comic book. Ha ha! less
