Ideas and Opinions

Albert Einstein

Einstein, Albert. Ideas and Opinions. Bonanza Books. New York, New York. 1954.

Einstein is well known for his scientific breakthroughs, but he is also a fantastic author. Einstein's Ideas and Opinions has won the Mulberry Award for the most interesting and descriptive characters. The book also won the Pulitzer Award for the most different book of the year.

Ideas and Opinions is about a world in the mind. This world is made up of ideas, opinions, and thoughts. There are no visuals, sounds, or smells, just thoughts. Thought number 1857 is a thought born in the mental town of Romane. When 1857 turned seventeen mental years old, 1857 got bored of Romane and decided to venture off to the mental city of New York.

In New York, 1857 was amazed by the imaginary skyscrapers and the thought of riding in a mental taxi excited him. 1857 had heard about the great imaginary Empire State Building and so he wanted to go visit it and go to the top. While 1857 was crossing a street, and looking at the mental skyscrapers, he was hit by an imaginary taxi cab.

1857 woke up in an imaginary hospital. He had mental tubes attached to him and he used his mind to rip them off. Then, another thought walked over to him and started to pick him up and take him away. As 1857 was being carried outside, 1857 noticed that an imaginary black van was waiting for him.

Ideas and Opinions is a classic tale written by one of the most acknowledged scientists of all time. This book is great for all ages, it will excite the young mind, and entertain the adults. The story of 1857 is winding and twisting the whole time keeping the reader fixed on the pages.

5 out of 5 stars.
