Let me start by saying that I’m a fan of biographies. I love getting to know the person behind the public persona. But the problem with this book is that it’s a snooze-fest. I suppose if you are a real fan of physics, you might enjoy this, but to me it was more of a textbook about the Theory of Relativity than a biography of Einstein. I started out reading it faithfully, then took to skimming, and then wound up skipping whole chapters. In the end, I just didn’t care. This was not my favorite read!
