Other books by this author especially the Job's biography are perhaps more readable. It can be sometimes lengthy as Isaacson describes in great details events taking place in Einstein's life, documented it appears, to all the letters everyone at that time seemed to write to each other and keep forever.
However this does give one a good idea how winning a Nobel prize can typically happen much later after the fact and how a noble prize winner can be immediately projected into fame at that time, especially in this case by the American population. We see this still today where an Nobel winner, an expert in a relatively small field, is asked to pronounce on so many world issues and to patronize so many causes. We still see this today.
Let me add I bought a used, hardcover edition from Betterworldbooks via Amazon. It did arrived later than expected, in excellent condition. As I had already been refunded, they magnanimously agreed to make me a present of it! So I am more than happy to recommend them.
