Albert Einstein: The Biography of a Genius Who Changed Science and World History
While his early childhood was unimpressive, Einstein later earned the respect of the entire world and won the coveted Nobel Prize. His name is the most revered in physics. Even though he was a well-respected genius, Einstein mingled freely among ordinary folk, just as easily as he did scholars and politicians. And while Einstein had a great sense of humor, he was also a bit reckless in the way he led his personal life.
To truly appreciate this brilliant scientist, who, at the age of 26, wrote the scholarly articles that fundamentally altered the foundation of physics, it is first important to look at his background and the environment in which he grew up in. Interestingly, while Einstein's performance in math and physics was outstanding, he was not the only one in his family with a brilliant mind. His father also had an inclination towards mathematics, and his sister earned a doctorate in literature.
This book provides a detailed account of Einstein's life that you do not want to miss.

A complicated man
I was happy to learn about the Man who I had heard so much about. However, not being a man of science, I found many sections difficult to understand. Also I found the constant change in periods of his life confusing. At one point we read about his early, then his later years and then back to his early years.

Fascinating
This book was filled with a lot of information about Albert Einstein. It went in depth about the man and his work.

Very dry read.
Dry as dust. Skipped around chronologically too much. Read like a bunch of "stories" just rolled together. Three more words.

Poorly written
Reppetive to the point of boredom. Poorly edited .question accuracy of role of first wife as unimportant as a collaborator

A good quick bio on Albert Einstein. My only criticism is that some information was repeated in several places in the book.

This has to be one of the worst books I have ever read. It is disorganized, and reads as if it were originally written in some foreign language and then translated into English by someone who actually speaks in an unknown gibberish.
It contains information no one wants to know, and leaves out information one would like to know. This is very frustrating. And just in case the reader would like to know something about Einstein's science, the reader won't learn any from this book. Luckily the book is short, so the pain of reading it doesn't last long.
