This graphic novel covers the life of Hedy Lamarr, from beginning to end. Lamarr was an interesting, and very complex woman. I'm glad she's now remembered for the fact she invented the technology behind WiFi, rather than her scandalous life. It was also interesting to find out that the US gov rejected her invention during WWII. It did make me laugh, because now WiFi is legitimately everywhere.
The art was also pretty cool, so that made it enjoyable as well.

This novel was amazing! I might venture to say it is one of my favorites this year. The setting and plot are very original and interesting. The characters are very well thought out and written realistically from a teenage girl, to a charismatic cult leader to a sympathetic FBI agent. While the alternating timeline is popular, it seems entirely necessary in this context since we would not get the full force of the trauma endured without the current sense of relief and uncertainty and damage. While it is a harrowing story, it is not as gruesome or graphic as it could have been which is a good thing for readers who might not have picked up this novel since it is a must read!

Well Written Novel
Strong Female Main Character
Start of an amazing series
This book is a little Beauty and the Beast-esque, which makes me love it all the more.
Especially as Belle is my favourite Disney Princess!

The main character is a strong female who overcomes many challenges, she certainly can't be seen as weak or a damsel in distress.

Highly recommend this YA series to anyone that enjoys fantasy, it is possibly a bit graphic for younger readers though.

I can see why this is such a popular series with kids. The story is pretty imaginative, or, at least, the characters and environments are. The art is also very cute. It's always great when a series is able to pull kids into reading. Hopefully this series will keep the decent quality up. I realize that this book got some low ratings on here, but as it is a graphic novel series meant for junior readers, I think thar it's off to a great beginning.

Watched last night it's okay I liked it alot I remember when the graphic novel came out what if superman was raised in Russia and become a communist version of superman which I thought was a good concept for a comic book Now I've watched the animated movie it's just as I pictured it to be I liked the way the story took characters like bat man wonder woman and slightly change them to what were used to from them overall not bad movie
