DESCRIPTION:
Best "short" book about Newton This book about Newton's life was an awesome read. First, not to long, only 91 pages on Kindle, and after I was finally able to understand where to find the book (not an avid Kindle user) I was able to finish it in one sitting. The glimpse of Newton I had before reading was just that, a glimpse. This book is able to inform the rea. "Interesting book" according to Allons-y. I thought this was a very interesting book, and I enjoyed reading it. I've read many e-books, and often the horrendous writing &/or total lack of editing and proofreading drives me crazy enough to delete the book without finishing it. That was not the case with this book. Yes, I did note a few errors in the text, but they were few. XO_Science_Babe_XO said Good buy!. This is the second book I have begun reading in this series and I am so thankful for it. This book, much like the last one I read, is so well written for a biographyand for the biography of a scientist at that! I would really recommend people to read this book if they had to write a paper on Newton or if they are newer scientists
