Albert Einstein

I received an electronic ARC from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for honest review.

Marwan Kahil's rendition of Albert Einsteins life is absolutely amazing. This graphic novel paints a rare and intimate picture of Einstein that will be remembered for a long time.

I highly recommend this graphic novel to everyone. I learned a lot of new things that I wasn't taught in school as a child.

Marwan Kahil does a great job an encompassing the life of Albert Einstein into a graphic novel. Not only does it cover the prominent scientific discoveries that Einstein made over his career, the novel takes a deeper glimpse into his own life and his struggles as a Jew living in antisemitic Europe. I found it an enjoyable read where I learned quite a bit more about his works and his life.

The black and white artwork fits well with the story. I couldn't help but notice the attention to detail on the architecture of Princeton University where Einstien taught in his final years or on the watchtower that inspired Einstein's work in relativity.

There is a bit of dramatization, which is expected of a graphic novel. Yet I liked how Kahil wrote with detail about the people who influenced Einstein or who were important to him. This book is the perfect medium for students to get a deeper and more intimate glimpse at the man who revolutionized modern physics. It is definitely a book that school libraries should consider investing in.

The art is probably 4-5 stars. The story itself is 3-4.

I suspect it’s very difficult to figure out what to include and not include in a comic that is tackling historical figures. Probably the best I’ve personally read in this category of comic / graphical novel form was March by John Lewis, Andrew Aydin, and artist Nate Powell. Albert Einstein definitely isn’t as memorable as that one but it is still a very good tool for easing folks into stories such as that of Albert Einstein when that would not usually be someone they’d read about.

It’s in no way a comprehensive biography but I wouldn’t expect it to be in this form. It still covers a lot. Its focus is primarily on the science but the story of the man is here. It’s at least enough to get someone curious to read more.

i would put this book as an ideal book for classrooms later in elementary school through high school.

Fantastic graphic novel about one of the brightest minds of the modern age. The amount and research and detail in the work will appeal to many readers and educate without feeling like they're reading a lecture or biography.

The author's painstaking research and attention to detail is obvious in the writing of this book. There were many facts that I only discovered after reading this!
