Great story! I highly recommend the miniseries Genius on National Geographic channel that depicts this same story

I received my copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I was very interested in this book and enjoyed the topic immensely; I read this in almost one complete sitting. However, I think I would have enjoyed this more if it were not in first person. Quite a bit of it felt forced. The characterization was done well. I really enjoyed viewing the time period through this story as well.

I have never known much about Einstein, however always admired him as a brilliant mind.

I never realized he could be such an awful man.  It was already bad, but when he pulled out that contract for his wife I was practically SEETHING
