I've read a few biographies written by Steve Walters, and I really like them. I've been mostly getting them for my son so that he gets an idea of what life was/is like for various famous, brilliant and successful people. We read and really liked biographies of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates (also by Steve Walters). This book is excellent as well: it's concise and doesn't get into scientific theories -- which is a huge and separate subject, but rather focuses on Albert Einstein as a real person. That approach can help kids see this genius as a human being, with his flaws, and make them more interested in his theories and in the way he came up with them. Good information!
