5.0
I just finished the book,and i must say that this was a powerful and emotional representation of Galileos life.
I respect the authors work so much. This was not easy to write.
The renaissance era was pictured perfectly,the writing was amazing, immersive,just masterclass.
The historic part was so great to read,the social life of Galileo and other people makes you constantly reflect and think about their life.
It was full of all kind of emotions. His relationships with his daughters, servants, friends.
The battle for scientific facts. The regrets,the images of the good life left behind. Scenes of death, life,hunger, loneliness.
So much to reflect.
It was not perfect,i took me 2 weeks to finish,but it was worth it.
The fictional part of the future and the Moon people was not good enough or memorable but it served it purpose.
With all the negatives and positives the book is still stuck with me. Appreciate the reminders of Galileos work,and all the astronomy, mathematics that helped us along the way.
I must note that the death of his daughter hit me really hard.
Great work by the author once again!
