SRP 2011 REVIEW: The book talked a lot about his early family and divulged his state of mind during his inventions and discoveries. It was interesting to read and understand a mind of a genius. It was well written and captivating.

SRP 2011 REVIEW: A very polite biography. Seems very thorough, and the book does present good and bad about Einstein, though the author is very respectful. I found it quite interesting.
