"Engaging and easily accessible biography of a historically significant person. The text of the book is written in a young, lively and humorous language, in several places with a touch of irony. The illustrations are lively and visually striking, drawn in manga style with collage elements that fit well with the book's fresh style. A well-presented introduction that motivates further reading." – (Library review (Lektørudtalelse)
