5 out of 5 stars Enjoyable and well thought through book   February 5, 2003
10 out of 12 found this review helpful

The book gives you some idea of what Einstein thought about the world in his lifetime. The book touches on philosophy, politics and the Jew's in Europe which, in my opinion gives a melancholy twist to the text. The book is also a bit of a historical source - its interesting to read the corresponding letters between Einstein and the various scientific organisations in the early 1930's


5 out of 5 stars Einstein the man   August 9, 2008

Here we see glimpses of Einstein the man, not the scientist. As science moved further away from the ideal that it was supposed to benefit mankind in a positive way, Einstein believed the mission of science was to work for mankind's well-being. He will be sadly missed, a great man that thought with his heart as well as his head.


5 out of 5 stars Oh Albert!   June 28, 2008

Albert Einstein was a whacky, comical genius. He was often seen wearing ''borat-esq man-kini's'' strutting around town trying to seduce the homeless. A rollercoaster comedy story which will have you reaching for that box of kleenex not only to whipe the tears of laughter away from your eyes, the minx.


4 out of 5 stars More than just a scientific genius...   December 17, 1998
23 out of 24 found this review helpful

Albert Einstein will always be remembered as one of the great minds of our time. But not too many people think of him as a great societal thinker as well. Albert delves into many touchy subjects in this book (having grown up during the most devastating era mankind has ever known).

The one downside to this book is that there are a few (only a few) passages where you really don't know who he is talking to, and little reference is given on these to help you, the reader, figure them out.

I was thoroughly impressed that this genius, mental marvel of the 20th century could convey his message so clearly in most of the essays and writings. He talks about religion, minorities, war, and other issues facing humaity today that are highly debated in all circles.

A good buy, a great mind.


4 out of 5 stars A great book to read, especially if intrested in Einstein   April 9, 1999
10 out of 14 found this review helpful

This book was a really interesting to read because I've never read any letters Albert had written, and it tells about events in his life you wouldn't ordinarily know. The only problem for me was the book didn't quite grab my attention in some parts very well. But other than that I loved the cover and the book, I would definitely recommend it.
