My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A must read.
While reading the book I felt as if I was a mute spectator of Einstein's journey from beginning to end.
One has to appreciate what walter Isaacson has done to narrate his life to the truest possible knowledge (the bias and misinformation nevertheless finds a way in biographies of great men). Either the author is ridiculously amazing or I just found my favourite genre.
And obviously I can't help but marvel at what a remarkable life Einstein lived. One can argue his monumental contribution to science ended in 1915 and for the rest of his life he shiftes towards politics and philosophy while simultaneously fiddling with the equations to churn out something as marvelous as his theory of relativity failed continuously. But then again more than his theories his curiosity, respect and awe towards nature and her mathematical manifestations and most importantly how his mind worked are what one can (only try to) re-enact in one's own life.
This book is definitely one of the best I have read and I know I will be referring to the highlights every now and then.
