Not only did the tragedies and victories of Pierre and Marie Curie connect us, I feel like the art made us connect to them in a much deeper way than a typical biography! I really like how you mention this point into your biography and state that "this gives insight as to the types of people they are and how their personal lives played into science." It's a read that doesn't just throw you with intricate science and experiments nor does it bore you with just text. Redniss really wrote this biography well. I personally felt that if the art was nonexistent in this book, I would not have been attached to the characters.
