Unabridged Audiobook
do not have time for reading. started the book but listening works better for me great book so far looking forward to completing it
The book is quite interesting and I'm glad I read it. However, it is not - I repeat, NOT - about Galileo's daughter. It is, in fact, about Galileo himself, with a little sprinkling of information about his eldest daughter, as well as the occasional mention of his second daughter. I found that extremely disappointing, as I wanted to learn about Virginia Galilei herself, not all of Galileo's maths and science work. I would still recommend it, but I would make sure the recommendee knew what the book is REALLY about.
Excellent story and narration - Thorough historical research by Dava Sobel - very good writer able to capture readers attention.
