Review: Mistakes extremely distracting
Rating: 1 out of 5

This book is filled with errors in grammar and spelling. The book is mercifully brief, but had the errors been cleaned up, I would have wanted to know more about Einstein's life. It is a good summary (I could have given it 1.5 stars if that were an option), but it comes across more like an encyclopedia article than a biography.I was surprised to find that the book ended at the 65% mark, since the information about Einstein is followed by a preview of a biography of the Dalai Lama, links to other books, and an invitation to an email subscription. My experience with Einstein's description convinced me to skip the preview about the Dalai Lama.I downloaded this book while it was free, and I am grateful I didn't lose anything other than my time reading it. I would not recommend it for free, much less for the list price.
