Hard Times, Hard Times

Even though I 'm a famous scientist, everybody has troubles and obstacles in their life, right?

Well here are some of mine, some of my hard, hard times.

When I lived in Paris, France, everyone thought I was having an affair with a man named Paul Langevin. That was false. Even my husband didn't believe it! Then whenever I would go outside, people hated me, gave me grief, hard looks and didn't like me anymore. Life was a disaster! I went from this famous, great scientist, to a person whom nobody liked. But I decided, even after all of my relatives and family told me to leave Paris, I stayed. My whole family had turned French. Why leave now? How brave was I then? VERY.

Another obstacle that I had to overcome was when I tried to have a second baby but it unfortunately died. This caused a lot of heart ache for me and my husband, but especially me. Losing a baby that you think will be yours is very sad. Grief overwhelmed me at the loss of my baby.

One last and very devastating obstacle or tough time for me was when the worst of the worst happened. My beloved husband named Pierre, who was a great help to me, died. I was left alone shocked and terribly sad. When I found out about the tragedy, I was at a loss of words. I sat outside by myself mourning. That just shows how hard this time was for me.

That concludes the toughest times for me, or my obstacles and risks.

Definetly A 5 Star!!

Information on my book:
Title: Something out of Nothing
By: Carla Killough McClafferty (shown in the picture above)
Copyright Date: First Edition 2006
Publication: Farror Straus Giroux, New York

The book, Something Out of Nothing, was an incredible book. It told me a ton about Marie Curie and had a lot of detailed pictures. The story used many vivid words that helped me understand the story more. I could picture everything that was happening during the biography. That clearly means this was a GOOD book.

I would definitely read another book by this author because she makes things come to life and uses great word choice throughout her writing. During the biography, Carla made it in a more creative way than just the plain old facts. If I could read another book by this author, my answer would be a 100 percent yes!

If there was one thing I could change about this biography to make it PERFECT, I would include a timeline. That way, I can look back at the timeline to make sure I understand when the events during the book are taking place. Many students would prefer having a timeline in books because, like me, they can use the timeline as another reference. Adding a timeline would be the only thing that I would want to add to this book to make it the best biography in the world!!
