Historia
Hear the story of the original windmill chaser, Don Quixote, who convinced himself that his "...looks spread terror every Hour...Nor could all Hell's united power/Subdue or daunt his mighty soul." This is Cervantes' classic tale of a common man from La Mancha who convinces himself that he is a knight. With his aging steed Rocinante and portly squire Sancho Panza, the addled knight-errant embarks on a chivalrous quest, mistaking windmills for giants and flocks of sheep for armies. The author intended Don Quixote to be a satire of other chivalric romance novels, but the book became more...

Interesting, Curious and a tad odd
Revisado: 09-09-03
I was supposed to read Don Quixote as a literature assignment somewhere in my junior high/high school years. I avoided it then and now think it may have been one of my better ideas. Still I gave it three stars, it is well written and the reader of this version does a very fine job. The associations of different voices and indeed characteristics mated with each individual are excellent.
The horse is absolutely the sane one, Sancho has brief periods of lucent behavior (mostly born of human greed). It was an escape from reality for sure, and that makes it entertaining. I am glad to have experienced the tale and shared the adventures. Overall, I did enjoy it.

Historia
David Bodanis demystifies the world's most famous equation, explaining its science and bringing it to life. He makes clear the astonishing array of discoveries and consequences it made possible and its impact on our daily lives. At last, the masses can understand that Einstein did nothing less than open the door to the inner structure of the universe.

Informative, educational but not entertaining
Revisado: 07-15-03
The many tangents of this 'biography' were quite enlightening. The people contributing to the discoveries, the proof, the dis-proofs were fasinating. The politics alone made for interesting reading and insight I had not previously imaged. I had also hoped for the book to be entertaining but that was not to be. Certainly it had not promised that but still I was disappointed somehow. If one goes into this text with little understanding of physics and math structure, one will probably not derive too much from it. Conversely, if one possesses a fair understanding of these concepts, the text will fall short. That is the nature of the beast I suspect. Still, I would recommend it and suggest one expect only a little and be pleasantly uplifted.

From the moment we started out in 'Orleans' and everywhere Charles went, he took me right along. My only regret is the trip passed way too fast. Actually had more fun then a few trips I've experienced first hand.
