This was fine. If you're into Einstein's theories and science then check this out. If you are interested in his life, maybe skip this one. It's heavy on the science and it honestly gets repetitive and boring after 200 pages.

I would like to thank NetGalley, the author and the publisher for allowing me early access to this ebook in exchange for a honest review.
I really liked this graphical novel/BD. In fact, I don’t really know how to call it, as I don’t usually go to these kind of books, but it being about Einstein caught my attention.
We got a very detailed biography of Einstein’s life and work and we get access to the resources used in the end of the book, which I highly appreciated has it allow us to get to know more.
I felt, sometimes, it was too detail in terms of physics concepts, which, for me, was not a problem but for other readers might be, if they are more interested in getting only a geral idea of the big scientist.
What was the best, for me, was the fact that this format allows some creativity that would not be possible in a more conventional book - for instance, the talk between Einstein and Newton and the small details added by Stephen Hawking.

A graphic novel story of the life of Albert Einstein. The major points and relationships of Einstein's life are all here.
Behest good and well written. My main criticisms are that the 4th-wall-breaking asides of characters were a bit hard to differentiate from their normal sketch... also the non-Einstein (especially female) characters were difficult to tell apart (because in the female cases they all had basically the same hair style).
I especially liked the way the Solvay conferences were covered in the box. The frustration on the faces of all involved was very clear.
Very worth the read to anyone interested in the life of Einstein and as a book to get younger readers interested in a biography.
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read an advance copy of this book.
