Review # 1 was written on 2017-08-17 00:00:00 Tim Sauro 0.5 star for the title 0.5 star for the content 1 star for the spine to write a book about Einstein! The only good thing about this book was its compelling title. I picked it up because of that, even after bad reviews, and boy was it disappointing. Long story short, I did not like this book. I realized this midway, so I started speed-reading it. Every once in a while, the author's voice becomes so loud (and narrow), the focal point gets lost. I reckon maybe the reason behind this, was the subject person of the book - Einstein. It must be very hard to write about him. I mean writing a book about Einstein's 'work' is understandably hard, but here author tried writing both about his 'work' and 'personal' life simultaneously. A misfit's failed relationships with everyone and other drama surrounding it, just like it happened with Steve Jobs' personal life, explained some of his theories briefly in a simplified version, and add a few contradictory opinions on a conspiracy, add some more so-called 'facts' that were never proven, and you have this book.

Review # 2 was written on 2007-07-07 00:00:00 frankie eubanks Don't be fooled by the title, or even the leaf description: The book is more signficant for it's overview of the major players in theorhetical physics during Einstein's young life. But, that doesn't mean you won't be slightly disillusioned for having read it; it's disappointing, if expected, to learn how selfish and, in the end, vaguely unseemly Einstein was.
