Half-Life - Paul Preuss



Although it wasn't one of my favorites of the semester, I think this was my favorite this week. It didn't seem to be sci-fi-ish in my opinion, though. I liked the idea of following Curie throughout her life and learning about her through the experiences that were brought back to life. It was a pretty good read overall, though not something I would set out to read for fun ...

Apparently, this story was based on true events - Madam Curie and her daughters were actual people (and yes, her husband really did get his head crushed by a wagon). Almost all of the stories this week seemed to have some basis in fact - whether they involved historical figures, or historical fact..
