Review of 'Danielle: Chronicles of a Superheroine' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
Danielle is a book about Danielle. Danielle is a true child prodigy. Curing cancer at age 4 and bringing peace to the middle east only a few years later, are just some of her accomplishments. She is indeed a true superheroine.
The story itself is just a way for mister Kurzweil to explain his ideas on how children should be taught and what they can do to improve the world.
This is a difficult review to write. I adore the ideas in the book, but I am absolutely not a fan of the way they are represented.

The "complete" edition that I read also features a printed version of the resources section that can be found on the Danielle site. It's basically a very long list of link-posts. Well-written, but you can't click the links in the book, so I feel it's not that useful.
Overall, it's an ok book, but I don't really recommend it.
