I listened to this biography by Isaacson after I had read his Steve Jobs biography, so I knew what to expect, and I was not disappointed but, rather, delighted.

Isaacson researches his background very deeply, presents his unbiased view meticulously, while being comprehensive so as to present all viewpoints of each perspective. It is a fascinating exploration of one of the most famous geniuses of the 20th century.

He also has a unique gift of simplifying complex concepts - from relativity and quantum mechanics to mathematics - to make it comprehensible for a layman.

Edward Herrmann's narration is lucid and empathetic, and draws you in at a deeper level making you care about Einstein and understand how he felt.
