What an intriguing insight into the history of this man's life. I could not put this down once I started!
Not only is his incredible scientific knowledge and discoveries - that has change the world of science and even use to this very day.. Well not me but scientists.. the author has included his early childhood theories and discoveries.
But his actual life too.. like I didn't even know he had married! Scott Matthews has created a beautifully written insight on a very great man!..
I feel this book should be used in all history lessons around the world to inspire those young minds, and encourage them to change the world as we know it!
Also loved the pictures throughout ad made it come to life more..

I love the cover to this book, it makes me feel happy just looking at it, I belive Einstein himself would love the way it turned out.
I love learning about people, their life, what they did, who they were, just everything.
This book gives you a look into this great man's life, it tells you a brief history of Einstein and his journey in life.
I love how the book covers multiple things about his life and I feel you get the full picture of who he truly was and the great things he accomplished.

The audiobook is read by AI. If you listen closely, some of the words are mispronounced. They will be pronounced correctly in some places, then mispronounced in others. Einstein and E=MC^2 are examples. It's really distracting. With the repetitiveness of some of the text, I'm questioning if the whole book was written with AI.
