Trespassing on Einstein's Lawn: A Father, a Daughter, the Meaning of Nothing, and the Beginning of Everything by Amanda Gefter
4.0
I'm torn on this book.
I didn't really have the patience to read the science parts slowly enough to both understand AND retain the information -- though, it was written in a way that I could have understood the complex theories that were discussed.
On the other hand, the story line following her relationship with her father is what kept me reading until the end of the book. For whatever reason, the bond they shared propelled me to finish a book that I otherwise might have given up on.
And after all that, I enjoyed the book and came away knowing things about physics that I didn't know before.
