Disappointing. The subtitle of the book, "The Inner World of Marie Curie" promises insights and information that the book does not deliver. There are very few quotes from Curie in the book, even when it's clear that the material is available. For instance, Marie's love letters to Paul Langevin were published in the tabloids of the day but almost not quoted in this biography. Also we don't get contemporaries' views of her except in minuscule snippets.
