This book profiles the amazing physicist Albert Einstein fantastically. It follows through every part of Einstein’s life and explains what happened to Einstein, his thoughts on different events in his life, and what he did. It talks about the many influences that affected Einstein’s development as a scientist, his work in physics, what Einstein did as a global public figure, and his contributions. This book does a superb job at simplifying many of Einstein’s complex thoughts and the elaborate experiments he did to uncover discoveries about the universe. I really liked reading this book because it help me truly understand all of Einstein’s discoveries, especially the theory of general relativity. That is why my favorite part of the book is when it talks about Einstein’s work in physics, I truly liked understanding what Einstein did. My least favorite part of the book is when it talks about what Einstein did as a global public figure, because it is more about politics than science, and I like science more than politics. However, the views Einstein had on many things are interesting to learn about. For example, Einstein was a strong advocate for pacifism and internationalism. Also, even though Einstein was the person who basically started the project to create an atomic bomb in the United States of America, he hated using them for killing. If you want to learn about these advanced topics of science, which include the theory of special relativity, the theory of general relativity, and atom bombs, or just want to learn more about Einstein in general, you would like this book. I would recommend this book to anybody. The only thing I would change about this book is that some of the parts in the book are too wordy, so I would simplify those to words used by average people. Good book altogether, though.
