I tried ... I honestly tried to stick with this book and read it all.
I failed miserably. Only reached page 58!!
For those who are astronomy, history, politics, religious buffs this is a fascinating read.
I could not keep up with all the back-stabbing, lies, fawning and struggles this brilliant man had to endure.
I was hoping it was a story about his relationship with his daughter.
Alas it was not. Maybe if I had persevered she would have become involved in the story.
So I gave up and decided to move on to the next book on my bookshelf.
