Positive reviews have come from publications such as ''[[The Guardian]]''.<ref name=robin/> The official [[Amazon.com]] review, written by Anne Bartholomew, praises the book as well.<ref name=abe>https://ift.tt/3aHR8s3>
==Background and contents==
Issacson has previously written books on the life stories of statesmen [[Benjamin Franklin]] and [[Henry Kissinger]].<ref name=robin/>
Isaacson's [[Biography|biographical]] analysis of Einstein's life reflects the nature of personal achievement in terms of the importance of inquisitiveness and the willingness to experiment.<ref name=robin/>
The author describes Einstein's a insolent streak and how the sometimes abrasive nature around it cost Einstein much in the short term, though larger society benefited dramatically in the long run. After going through his studies in [[physics]] with "a sassy attitude" at the [[Zurich Polytechnic]], Einstein wound up being the only graduate of his year's class not to be offered a job. The author notes Einstein's subsquent trek throughout Europe in search of work and its failure. "I will soon have graced every physicist from the North Sea to the southern tip of Italy with my offer," Einstein is quoted as writing. Rejected by the [[Swiss army]] for his misshapen [[feet]] and [[varicose veins]], Isaccson details, Einstein finally manages to start a career at the Swiss [[patent office]]. Despite the mediocre posting, his independent research into his intellectual passions proves highly influential as Isaacson describes.<ref name=robin/>
==Reception==
''[[The Guardian]]'' published a supportive review by journalist [[Robin McKie]]. He remarked that Isaacson "triumphed over expectation[s]" as well as wrote that the "thorough exploration of" Einstein's life constituted both "a skillful piece of scientific literature and a thumping good read." McKie labeled Einstein's life story as one of the most interesting tales "in modern science" and lauded Isaacson's "first-rate job in telling it."<ref name=robin>https://ift.tt/2UFDQXf>
The official [[Amazon.com]] review of the book, written by Anne Bartholomew, praises the author's approach and details, Bartholomew commenting,
