“Einstein is undoubtedly famous. We use his name to name anyone who shows intelligence. It's very interesting to know a little more about the real man, rather than the myth of today.

“While Einstein might have been brilliant, I was not too impressed with him as a husband. What I did like about this book, is that while covering Einstein's life and work, it also gave an overview of 20th century history!

“At time, very difficult to read because of Isaacson's coverage of Einstein's scientific work and physics, in general. ”

I'm not altogether sure what most non-scientists would think about the science involved, and nearly everyone might think he was a nightmare to his first wife and kids.

If you can cope with the sensation that your ideals about a hero have been shattered, read this book. If you can't done.”“Well written bio - good insight into the character and personality of Einstein - not overwhelmed by the science.”

“Enjoyed the latter part. Got lost through some of the physics. Worth reading, but not necessarily enjoyable.”
