Gave me a lot of insights and mind-blowing physics fact even though it was hard to comprehend the complex physics. I felt the book was excruciatingly long.
Thoroughly enjoyed this book.
First of all a great subject. Einstein. What a guy.
Not only do you find out about Einstein the physicist. You'll get a great overview of 20th century physics and Einstein's part in that. And in his later years you'll learn about Einstein the world citizen and defender of social justice and individual freedom. And an interesting overview on anti-Semitism which as a New Zealander I've never personally experienced I found rather peculiar. Anyway, solidly engaging and entertaining. Recommended
(audiobook)
What a character. And with flaws, stubbornness which made him the Genius he is (relativity theory) and also the failures he had (unified theory).
His humor and love and ability to play violin, interest in humanity not so connected to individual people, challenges with his relationships, especially with his wifes and kids are really interesting.
A full picture of this tremendously important man.
Great biography and very well narrated by Edward H.
