From the reviews:

“This is the wittiest biography of Euler I have ever read. The two authors of the text and the artist are extremely well acquainted with all aspects of Euler’s life. ... It is the ideal gift for a mathematician and all those who like mathematics and are able to smile about the amiable human weaknesses of a mathematician.” (Eberhard Knobloch, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1179, 2010)

“The authors and illustrator describe the most important moments from Euler’s live in Switzerland, Russia and Germany. They show his significant discoveries in fields as divers as analysis, algebra, geometry, topology, mechanics, optics, astronomy, geography etc. The book written like a modern comics is a remarkable and easily readable story and can be recommended to children, students and their teachers to attract their interest to mathematics and scientific research.” (Martina Bečvářová, Mathematica Bohemica, Issue 2, 2010)

“This interesting and delightfully illustrated comic book describes and depicts the life of the mathematical genius, Leonhard Euler, in celebration of the 300th anniversary of his birthday. ... The book is recommended for general, light reading, and is especially suitable for a school library ... . for the scholar of the history of mathematics, or a mathematics student interested in some historical background, it will be a useful starting point.” (Michael de Villiers, The Mathematical Gazette, Vol. 94 (531), November, 2010)
