Pros

Walter isaacson does a biography like no one else. As a former english major-teacher, at times i have to muddle through the technicalities whether it's viruses, ipads, or quanta theory. Isaacson's isaacson.

The main thing i learned from this book is that for all his gentle appearance, einstein was as ruthless as anybody who succeeds in a competitive profession. There is very good insight into what drove einstein to be who he was, and achieve what he did ...  Read More

Walter isaacson's work as an author is truly exceptional, as he deserves high praise for the thoroughly resourced images of einstein’s eventful life. Isaacson allows the reader to understand einstein's thought processes of thinking relentlessly about ...  Read More

Thats some perseverance. An indictment of the german academia similar to turing & the british goverment.


Cons

Walter isaacson's biography of einstein is a disappointment. There is no surprises, there is no discovery. What a disappointment, it's boring and many facts a einstein's early life are painfully wrong.

General relativity is simply an extension of special relativity. Its math is sooo ugly. One is not qualified to write about einstein unless he is sorta a scientist himself.

    This book was not just a gift but an enriching experience

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It was quite technical in parts especially for me as i know little about physics

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I enjoyed the book but discovered it was more about his personal live and the quirks about speaking in public to large audiences or getting too much attention or demand for public speaking to explain relativity

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    However the bio is void of any mathematics

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Now im considering applying it to albert einstein as well

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I had to skip over the parts where scientific things were discussed

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Really wasnt want i was interested in just the parts on his life and personality

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Personally i enjoy trying to follow the physics discussions but some might think the book delves too deeply into the science for the general reader to follow
