Reviews

So now that Einstein A to Z is available online, readers may leave their personal reviews up for others to read. Authors often stack such things, trying to encourage as many people as they know to put up something interesting. . . and so I am used to getting all sorts of 5-star reviews from people on the Amazon web page.

In this case, one of my first reviews was a 3-star review. (His comment was that, while well-written, the book didn't break out any new information on Einstein -- which is a fair comment. We really weren't looking to put out all new information, just trying to put it together in an interesting way. I would argue that the format is quite new, and a particularly good way to be introduced to Einstein for people who aren't well-versed in his science and life -- which is actually the bulk of readers, not just students, but nonetheless the reviewer's comment is fair.)

Here's the point: while it would have been great if it wasn't a 3-star review, I am so incredibly thrilled that someone random wrote a review for me, that it entirely makes up for it. It's just SO exciting.
