一些关于相对论的评述并不公允，但人性的弱点的描写大概是客观的。然而更像人的爱因斯坦比更像神的好。

不知道作者是什么出身，有些评论莫名其妙（当然也可能是翻译的锅）。不过里面关于爱因斯坦人性的部分的描写还是值得一看，而物理部分的批判则正误对半吧，有些是没理解相对论，有些是以后来者苛责当时。 莽撞了，本书作者是专业物理学家：

Hans Ohanian studied physics at Berkeley and at Princeton, where he worked on relativity with John A. Wheeler. He has taught at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Union College, the University of Rome, and the University of Vermont. He is the author of several physics textbooks and dozens of articles dealing with relativity, gravitation, and quantum theory, including many articles on fundamental physics published in the American Journal of Physics, where he served as associate editor for several years. Of late, he has become interested in the ecological and economic aspects of renewable energy systems in Vermont, where he lives. His favorite renewable system is his sailboat "ARCHIMEDES," on which he cruises on Lake Champlain.
