excellent and thought provoking short piece

This short biographical piece is a bit history plus a bit Brief History of Time in that it shows Einstein's personal development and tries to make his ideas and their implications accessible to the average person. Some examples you've probably heard before, but these are ideas that only benefit from another view. Very good. Will listen again sometime soon. And occasionally Greene has a nice poetic turn of phrase that I like. These are enormous ideas and he's trying to educate us entertainingly.

Just awesome storytelling

Sit back, relax, close your eyes, and listen. The book is mesmerizing in its ability to transport you into Einstein's thoughts.

Good stuff

I wasn't 100% riveted, but I like Brian Green, I love the subject matter, and I enjoyed the reading.
Probably the blandest review ever, but there it is nonetheless.
