erikars 's review for:
This was a fine biography of Galileo that faltered in its attempts to make the letters from his daughter a centerpiece of the work. Sobel's translation of the letters and introduction of them to a wider audience was an important task to undertake, and the letters do provide many interesting and touching insights. However, many of the letter inclusions feel forced.
Overall, I enjoyed the book, and I learned a lot about Galileo and the history of our knowledge of the solar system.
