Before I read this book I though Marie Curie would be a boring person to be. After I read the book I found out Marie was not so boring and is pretty excitingThree thing I learned where that Marie was the smartest girl at her private school, she was good friends with Albert Einstein, and she was the only person to get two Nobel prizes. I would recommend this book to anyone how want’s to read about a grate person. I thought it was an OK book if you like biography.I don’t like biography so I didn’t like this book to much.1934 Dies of Radiation poisoning in FranceBibliography: .
