precise in its details (5/7 people found this helpful)
I have only started reading this biography. Yet I was drawn to it from the start by the engaging style of the author. His wealth of details add to make Michael Faraday a very human person. Facts about Faraday's belief are interesting because it is through people of the same or similar belief as his that he met his mentor and support. He was encouraged, he learned fast, he attended amazing and exciting lectures. Faraday was a genius, yet very human. This biography will warm you to an extraordinary character. The engaging style will help you along get into the life of Faraday in his context. The reading is easy, but beware, it is rich too. This is pleasant to read and enriching. You'll come out of this with a deep sense of satisfaction. Buy it, curl on your bed or in your favourite armchair and enter the early 19th century London,go to the lectures with this amazing scientist who was Michael Faraday. If you want a pun on Faraday's discoveries, you shall be electrified!
A splendid buy!
