Reviews

[Marisa · Rating 1 out of 5]

Les passages qui concernent la vie de Marie Curie et sa famille sont très intéressants, cependant le livre manque de rythme, et pour cette raison le récit devient pesant et ennuyeux.
L'auteur ne parvient pas à retenir l'attention du lecteur, en effet , ce dernier,à un moment donné, peut se sentir perdu.
Je n'ai pas apprécié cette lecture, même si la vie de Marie Curie me paraît extrêmement intéressante.
