I recently finished this book Einstein: His Life and Universe by Walter Isaacson. And here are my thoughts on the book.
It’s a book that brings the image of Einstein to life.
Although the book is a biography, it makes a reasonable effort in explaining the physics behind his theories of relativity, photoelectric effect and quantum physics. Physics in the book can be intimidating to someone coming from the non-Scientific background. Since it is in the early chapters, one might feel a compulsion to abandon the book. Still, I would urge you to persevere, and the story flows like any novel after that.
There are many epigrams stated by Einstein that are worth quoting, and I found them fascinating. His observations of extremism in Germany are very much visible in the present world and in India.
“A foolish faith in authority is the worst enemy of truth”
This statement made a lasting mark on me. This book has definitely made me non-conformist and sceptic of the authority of any kind. Where Einstein later contemplated:
“To punish me for my contempt of authority, Fate has made me an authority myself.”
With so many people associated with Einstein, it is sometimes hard to picture someone against their names. So someone starting the book should g

Picking best Einstein book is a no-brainer
First appears one inviting-but-thick biography of Albert Einstein, then another, albeit thinner. The first book shoots to the top of several best-seller lists but the largely unnoticed second book is much better.
Walter Isaacson, formerly an American CNN and Time executive, wrote "Einstein: His Life and Universe," and Jurgen Neffe, a German scientist and journalist, wrote "Einstein: A Biography."
In fact, Neffe's work was published in 2005 in Germany, thus embracing the centennial year of Einstein's major discovery, the theory of relativity. His book was on the German best-seller list for a year.
The next year, 2006, saw many more of Einstein's most important papers and letters released to scholars, so Neffe utilized those for the updated book that has recently hit bookshelves in the United States.
Isaacson also used them for his work.

Neffe wrote a cover story for the German magazine Der Spiegel in 1999, when his editors wanted one story on "the evil" of the 20th century, Adolf Hitler, and another on "the brain," Einstein.
At the time, Neffe read every Einstein biography, and he says he found himself disappointed.
