1 star for the spine to write a book about Einstein!

The only good thing about this book was its compelling title. I picked it up because of that, even after bad reviews, and boy was it disappointing.
Long story short, I did not like this book. I realized this midway, so I started speed-reading it. Every once in a while, the author’s voice becomes so loud (and narrow), the focal point gets lost. 
I reckon maybe the reason behind this, was the subject person of the book - Einstein. It must be very hard to write about him. I mean writing a book about Einstein’s ‘work’ is understandably hard, but here author tried writing both about his ‘work’ and ’personal’ life simultaneously.
A misfit’s failed relationships with everyone and other drama surrounding it, just like it happened with Steve Jobs’ personal life, explained some of his theories briefly in a simplified version, and add a few contradictory opinions on a conspiracy, add some more so-called ‘facts’ that were never proven, and you have this book.

Tras publicar sus primeros esbozos sobre la Teoría de la relatividad, Albert Einstein entró en el mundo de la ciencia de una manera triunfal, llegándo a convertirse en un icono del siglo XX. . Dennis Overbye, tras investigar durante diez años, nos habla de la vida de Einstein durante los primeros añós del siglo pasado, cuando el científico era un joven bohemio que tocaba el violín en Zurich, adoraba los chistes subidos de tono y escribía poesías. Esta biografía, elogiada tanto por los amantes de la buena literatura como por los científicos resulta reveladora e insólita ( )
