I love any book where the main character drives across the country. Add Albert Einstein's brain to the story and it's fascinating. I finished it in less than a day.

The true story of a road trip almost beyond belief - from the East Coast to the West Coast with the brain of Einstein himself, pickled in formaldehyde and riding in Tupperware, and with the doctor who had removed it during Einstein's autopsy. A fascinating book, easy to read, with interesting tidbits of information about Einstein's life and history along the way. The road trip itself is worth the ride...

By reading the blurb on the jacket of this book I thought it would be somewhat humourous, and I wanted a light read. Unfortunaly it was not the humourous piece I thought it would be. I found myself continually waiting for the story to begin with this book, and in the end I never finished the book. But I did have a toddler and infant in the house, so maybe I needed someting lighter to read.
